Copyright (DMCA) Policy

All copyright-related notices should be sent to our designated agent:

• Email: dmca@linabase.com
• Postal: contact dmca@linabase.com to request a postal address for service of process. We respond to email-based notices and counter-notices and will accept postal correspondence on request.

For copyright matters only, please. For other content concerns, see the Acceptable Use Policy. For privacy matters, see the Privacy Policy.

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

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (URLs, hostnames, account names, file paths).
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you (mailing address, telephone number, email address).
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Incomplete notices may not result in action. We may, but are not required to, contact you for missing information. We reserve the right to disclose the contents of your notice to the affected user (with your contact details redacted on request, where lawful).

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that material was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or by Linabase. If you are unsure whether material is infringing, consult an attorney before filing a notice.

On receipt of a complete notice, we will:

• Acknowledge receipt to the notifier.
• Take reasonable steps to remove or disable access to the identified material expeditiously, typically within 1–3 business days.
• Notify the affected user (the alleged infringer) and provide them with a copy of the notice (redacting the notifier's personal contact information on request, where lawful).
• Document the action in our internal records.

If your material was removed and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), your counter-notice must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or disabled.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the judicial district where your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, of any judicial district in which Linabase may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or that person's agent.

Send counter-notices to dmca@linabase.com.

On receipt of an effective counter-notice, we will forward it to the original notifier and inform them that we will restore the material within 10 to 14 business days unless they file an action seeking a court order against the alleged infringer in that timeframe and notify us of the filing. If we receive such notice, the material remains removed pending resolution.

We terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. This determination is made in our reasonable judgment, considering the validity, severity, recency, and willfulness of the infringements documented against the account.

For copyright complaints under non-U.S. law (including the EU Copyright Directive and Turkish copyright law), the procedures above apply by analogy. We act on credible reports of infringement under any applicable copyright regime. Where local law provides a more specific notice format (for example, the Article 17 procedure under the EU Copyright Directive), provide the notice in that format.

We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the latest change.
