DMCA Copyright Policy
Last Updated: January 26, 2025
1. Overview
Eventrix respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy outlines our procedures for addressing claims of copyright infringement.
In accordance with the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512), we will respond promptly to properly submitted notices of alleged copyright infringement.
2. Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you believe that content on our platform infringes your copyright, please send a written notice containing the following information to our designated DMCA Agent:
2.1 Required Information
1. Physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works)
3. Location of the infringing material (URL or other specific identification)
4. Your contact information: Name, address, telephone number, email address
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law

5. Repeat Infringer Policy
We maintain a policy of terminating accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyrights. Repeat infringers are determined on a case-by-case basis and may include users who:
- Have received multiple valid DMCA notices
- Have had multiple pieces of content removed
- Have failed to respond to warnings
6. False Claims
Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorney fees. Do not make false claims.
7. Content Guidelines for Users
To avoid copyright issues:
- Only upload content you created or have permission to use
- Respect photographer, videographer, and designer copyrights
- Obtain proper licenses for music, images, and videos
- Give credit where required
- When in doubt, don't upload it
8. Fair Use
Fair use is a legal doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, or research. Whether a use qualifies as fair use depends on multiple factors, including:
- Purpose and character of the use
- Nature of the copyrighted work
- Amount used relative to the whole work
- Effect on the market for the original work
Fair use is determined on a case-by-case basis. We recommend consulting with a legal professional if you have questions about fair use.
