DMCA Policy

What is the DMCA?

The DMCA is a United States law that was enacted in 1998 to address digital copyright issues. The law covers a wide range of topics related to digital content, including online service providers, fair use, and anti-circumvention measures.

The DMCA provides copyright owners with a mechanism to protect their digital content from online infringement, as well as providing safe harbor provisions for online service providers who comply with the law.

OTOCheap’s DMCA Policy

OTOCheap is a website that operates in compliance with the DMCA. We respect intellectual property rights and take copyright infringement seriously. We have implemented procedures to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the DMCA requirements.

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent acting on behalf of a copyright owner and you believe that your copyright is being infringed on our website, you must send a notification to our designated DMCA agent. The notification should include the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
• Contact information for the copyright owner or an authorized agent;
• A statement that the copyright owner or an authorized agent has a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the copyright owner or an authorized agent is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Once we receive a valid DMCA notice, we will promptly remove or disable access to the infringing material. We will also notify the user who posted the material of the removal or disablement.

Counter Notification

If a user believes that their content has been mistakenly removed or disabled due to a DMCA notice, they may file a counter-notification. The counter notification must include the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature of the user;
• Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location of the material before it was removed or disabled;
• A statement that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material;
• The user’s contact information; and
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the user consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the user is located and that they will accept service of process from the copyright owner or their agent.

Once we receive a valid counter-notification, we will promptly notify the copyright owner of the counter-notification. We will also restore access to the material unless the copyright owner files a court action within 14 days seeking an order restraining the user from engaging in infringing activity.
