DMCA and Copyright Policy
Last updated: 2026-06-14
This document is written for a premium creator, subscription, digital content, and shop marketplace. It is intended to be read together with the other documents in the Legal Center.
1. Purpose
This policy explains how TrulyFeetFans handles copyright and related rights complaints, counter-notices, repeat infringement, and abuse of notice procedures.
2. Required Copyright Notice
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
- Exact URL or content identifier of the allegedly infringing material.
- Claimant name, company if applicable, address, email, and telephone if available.
- A good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized.
- A statement that the information is accurate and the claimant is authorized to act.
- Physical or electronic signature.
3. Submission Channel
Copyright notices should be sent to noreply@trulyfeetfans.com. Incomplete notices may require clarification before action.
4. Review and Action
Upon receiving a sufficiently substantiated notice, the platform may disable access, notify the affected user where appropriate, preserve evidence, request clarification, or reject a notice that is legally insufficient or abusive.
5. Counter-Notice
Users who believe content was removed by mistake may submit a counter-notice with identification, removed content details, a good-faith statement, consent to applicable jurisdiction where required, and signature.
6. Repeat Infringers
Repeated substantiated infringement may result in account termination, demonetization, payout hold, or re-registration prevention.
7. Legal Reference
8. Trademark and Personality Rights
Although this policy is primarily about copyright, the platform may also review trademark, brand impersonation, publicity-right, and personality-right complaints through the general notice process. Rights holders should identify the protected mark, name, likeness, or protected asset and explain the legal basis for the requested action.
9. Content Matching and Re-Uploads
Where technologically feasible and proportionate, the platform may use file hashes, URL history, account history, or manual notes to identify repeated uploads of content previously removed for substantiated infringement. No filtering system is perfect, and rights holders should report new URLs when they appear.
10. Creator Documentation Requests
Creators may be asked to provide model releases, photographer agreements, purchase receipts, licenses, assignment agreements, or other proof of rights. Failure to provide credible documentation may lead to continued restriction or account enforcement.
11. No Legal Determination of Ownership
The platform's moderation decision is an operational safety and compliance decision. It does not constitute a court determination of ownership, infringement, fair use, validity of copyright, or damages.
12. Repeat Notice Abuse
A person who knowingly submits false notices, uses copyright claims to harass creators, or attempts to remove lawful competitor content may be restricted from using notice systems and may be exposed to legal liability.
13. Reservation of Rights
The platform reserves the right to remove content for Terms, safety, privacy, or payment compliance reasons even where a copyright notice is incomplete or where the content creates independent legal risk.
14. Information Shared With Affected Users
Where appropriate, the platform may share the substance of a copyright notice with the affected user so they can understand the claim and submit a counter-notice. Personal contact details may be handled according to legal necessity, safety considerations, and applicable privacy rules.
15. Licensing Disputes Between Creators
Disputes between creators, agencies, photographers, editors, or former partners are assessed based on available documentation. The platform may keep content restricted until the parties provide a court order, settlement, license confirmation, or other credible evidence.
16. Good-Faith Cooperation
Rights holders, creators, and affected users are expected to cooperate in good faith, provide precise URLs, avoid overbroad takedown requests, and update the platform if a dispute is resolved externally.

Important note: These policies provide the platform operating framework and should be reviewed against the final legal entity details, tax registration, merchant acquiring requirements, and local consumer-law advice before launch in each target jurisdiction.
