DMCA Policy
1. Overview
EventLingo, Inc. (“EventLingo”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512, EventLingo will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed using the EventLingo platform, website, or mobile applications (collectively, the “Services”).
If you believe that content on EventLingo infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice as described below. If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice.
2. Designated Agent
EventLingo's designated agent for receiving notifications of claimed copyright infringement under the DMCA is:
DMCA Agent
EventLingo, Inc.
Los Angeles, California
Email: legal@eventlingo.com
Please include “DMCA Takedown Notice” or “DMCA Counter-Notice” in the subject line of your email.
3. Filing a Takedown Notice
To file a proper DMCA takedown notice, you must provide a written communication to our Designated Agent that includes all of the following:
- Identification of the copyrighted work: A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
- Identification of the infringing material: A description of the material that you claim is infringing and that you want removed or access disabled, with enough detail to allow EventLingo to locate the material. Please provide the URL(s) where the allegedly infringing material is located on our platform.
- Your contact information: Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- Good faith statement: 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.
- Accuracy statement: A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
4. Counter-Notice Procedure
If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our Designated Agent. Your counter-notice must include:
- Identification of removed material: Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
- Good faith statement: 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
- Your contact information: Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- Consent to jurisdiction: A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if you are outside the United States, the Central District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or an agent of such person.
- Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, EventLingo will forward a copy to the original complaining party. If the original complaining party does not file a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity within 10 business days of receiving the counter-notice, EventLingo will restore the removed content.
5. Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, EventLingo has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. EventLingo may also, at its sole discretion, limit access to the Services and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
A user will be considered a repeat infringer if they receive three or more valid DMCA takedown notices within a 12-month period. EventLingo reserves the right to terminate accounts after fewer notices in cases of egregious or willful infringement.
6. Response Timeline
EventLingo is committed to responding promptly to DMCA notices. Our general timeline is as follows:
- Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge receipt of a takedown notice within 2 business days.
- Review and action: We will review the takedown notice and, if it meets the requirements of the DMCA, remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material within 10 business days of receipt.
- Notification to user: We will promptly notify the user whose content was removed or disabled, providing a copy of the takedown notice and information about how to file a counter-notice.
- Counter-notice processing: Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant within 2 business days and restore the content within 10–14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action.
7. Good Faith Requirement
EventLingo processes all DMCA notices in good faith. We remind all parties that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages. Please consider whether the use of the copyrighted material constitutes fair use before submitting a takedown notice.
