ShelfReserve
DRAFT — v0.1.0-p6-draftThese pages carry Devin’s integrated draft text. They still contain [FILL IN] placeholders (mailing address, support email, DMCA email, phone, governing-law state, effective date) and have not yet been reviewed by qualified counsel. Treat them as an operational reference, not a final binding document. Live launch text ships as version v1-YYYY-MM once counsel signs off and the DMCA agent is registered.

DMCA Policy

Effective date: [FILL IN before publish]

Last updated: [FILL IN before publish]

Operator: Beyond Limitz Productions (“we”, “our”, “us”)

Agent registration requiredDMCA agent must be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office at dmca.copyright.gov before we can rely on the DMCA safe harbor. The fee is US$6 per registration, valid 3 years. Until we register, the contact information below is a placeholder and does not confer safe-harbor protection.

Beyond Limitz Productions respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), we will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA.

1. Designated agent

If you believe content available through ShelfReserve infringes your copyright, please send a DMCA notice to our designated agent:

Designated Agent: [FILL IN full legal name of the person authorized — usually Devin himself for BLP]
Beyond Limitz Productions
Address: [FILL IN mailing address on file with U.S. Copyright Office]
Email: [FILL IN dedicated DMCA email — recommend dmca@[yourdomain] — must be monitored]
Phone: [FILL IN phone number on file]

2. How to send a DMCA takedown notice

To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
  3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and its exact location on ShelfReserve, with enough detail to let us find it (a URL, a reel ID, a share link).
  4. Your contact information: full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Send the completed notice to the designated agent in §1.

Filing a materially false DMCA notice can expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Please do not use this process for content you do not own or are not authorized to enforce.

3. What happens after we receive a valid notice

Within a reasonable time (usually within 3 business days) of receiving a valid DMCA notice:

  1. We will remove or disable access to the identified content.
  2. We will notify the user who uploaded or referenced it, and pass along your notice (redacted of your contact information if you request).
  3. We will record the notice as a strike against the user’s account under §5.

4. Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was removed in error (for example, because the notice was mistaken or you have permission to use the material), you may send a counter-notice. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), your counter-notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court in the district where you live (or, if you are outside the U.S., of any judicial district where we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

Send your counter-notice to the designated agent in §1.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the person who sent the original notice. If that person does not file a court action against you within 10–14 business days, we may restore the removed content.

5. Repeat-infringer policy

We terminate the accounts of users who are the subject of repeated DMCA notices. “Repeated” means, absent unusual circumstances, three separate valid DMCA notices concerning material uploaded or referenced by the same account.

Termination under this policy is not a substitute for suspension or termination under our Terms of Service §11, which may occur sooner for serious or willful infringement.

6. Modifications

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent change. Material changes will be announced to existing users by email.
