DMCA Copyright Policy

1. Designated Agent

Ruunly has registered a designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office as required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(2). To submit a DMCA takedown notice or counter-notice, contact:

Launch dependency: The designated agent name and phone number above are placeholders. These must be updated with the registered agent's actual information before Ruunly's public launch. The Copyright Office registration must also be completed at copyright.gov/dmca-directory.

2. How to File a Takedown Notice

If you believe content hosted on Ruunly infringes your copyright, send a written notice to the designated agent above. Your notice must include all of the following (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)):

• a physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit Ruunly to locate it (e.g., the URL);
• your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
• 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;
• a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

3. How to File a Counter-Notice

If your content was removed or disabled in response to a takedown notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice. Your counter-notice must include (17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3)):

• your physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the material removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before it was removed;
• a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• your name, mailing address, and telephone number;
• 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 your address is outside the United States, to any judicial district in which Ruunly may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, Ruunly will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify Ruunly within 10–14 business days that it has filed an action seeking a court order, Ruunly may restore the removed material.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

In appropriate circumstances, Ruunly will terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. A “repeat infringer” is a user who has been the subject of more than one valid DMCA takedown notice. Ruunly reserves the right to make this determination at its sole discretion and to terminate accounts without notice.

5. Misrepresentations

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 attorneys' fees. Consider consulting legal counsel before submitting a notice or counter-notice.
