1) Scope

We respect creators' rights and expect our users to upload only content they own or are authorized to use. This policy explains how to report alleged copyright infringement on our platform and how uploaders can respond.

Note: Contract disclaimers in our Terms do not waive any rightsholder's statutory rights. Nothing here limits remedies a court may order.

2) How rightsholders can report infringement

If you believe material on our service infringes your copyright, send us a copyright notice with all items below. Notices missing required elements may be returned for completion.

Required elements (modeled on 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) and EU DSA notice-and-action):

1. Your full name and role (owner or authorized agent), plus contact info (email, phone, address).
2. Identification of the copyrighted work(s) you claim are infringed (title, creator, links to authorized copies, registration no. if any).
3. The exact URL(s) on our service where the material appears. One URL per line.
4. A statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the owner, agent, or law.
5. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury you are the owner or authorized to act.
6. Your physical or electronic signature (type your full legal name).

Canada "Notice-and-Notice"

Because we are based in Canada, when we receive a compliant notice we will forward it to the uploader and retain records as required by Canada's Notice-and-Notice regime. (We do not forward payment demands or settlement offers as part of the notice.)

3) What we do upon receiving a valid notice

• Expeditious action: We may disable access to the specific material or remove it.
• Monetization hold: We pause ads, payouts, and revenue sharing on the flagged item while the claim is assessed. Funds attributable to the item may be held in escrow pending resolution.
• Notify uploader: We notify the uploader with the details of the claim and how to submit a counter-notice/appeal.
• Recordkeeping: We log the timeline (receipt, action, notifications) and retain records as required by law.
• No general monitoring: We do not adjudicate ownership beyond facial validity of notices, and we don't monitor proactively.

4) Counter-notice (for uploaders)

If your content was removed/disabled and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice containing:

1. Your full name, address, phone, and email.
2. Identification of the material removed/disabled and the exact prior URL.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed/disabled due to mistake or misidentification.

Jurisdiction consent (choose one):

• If you are in the U.S. or your dispute involves U.S. rightsholders/users: “I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located, or if outside the U.S., to the jurisdiction of the courts of [County/State], and I will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or that person's agent.”
• Otherwise: “I consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario, Canada, and will accept service of process from the notifier.”

4. Your physical or electronic signature (type your full legal name).

Send counter-notices to support@railflick.com with subject “Counter-Notice”.

Restoration window: If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore access to the content unless the notifier informs us within the applicable statutory period that they have filed court action. In a U.S. DMCA context, this is typically 10–14 business days after we forward your counter-notice.

5) Repeat-infringer policy

We terminate or suspend accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. Factors include the number and validity of notices, counter-notice outcomes, and court orders. We may also disable uploads and withhold payouts on additional flagged items during investigation.

6) Bad-faith or abusive notices

Submitting fraudulent, materially misleading, or bad-faith notices/counter-notices may carry legal consequences and platform penalties. Only submit if you have a good-faith basis and the authority to act.

7) Appeals & EU DSA transparency (if applicable)

Where required (e.g., EU users), we provide an appeal mechanism for removal decisions and publish periodic transparency reports about content moderation actions.

8) Privacy & data

We share necessary elements of notices/counter-notices with the other party and, where required, with authorities or our service providers. Please avoid including sensitive personal data not needed to process your claim.

9) Reservation of rights

We may refuse incomplete notices, request more information, or act beyond the minimum required where appropriate (e.g., obvious, egregious infringement). Court orders will be followed, which may include global removal in appropriate cases.

Optional boilerplate for your Terms of Service (to align with this policy)

• Users represent/warrant they own or have rights to all content uploaded and grant us the necessary licenses.
• Users indemnify us for claims arising from their uploads.
• We may suspend monetization or withhold payouts tied to disputed items until resolution.
• We may remove content or terminate accounts at our discretion to comply with law.
