Copyright Policy
REPORTING CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
In general, 18mh does not assume or take responsibilities for any content uploaded in the Website by Content Partners, Verified Uploaders and Models. However, we take claims of copyright infringement seriously. We may respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) or any other applicable intellectual property legislation or laws. Responses may include removing, blocking or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity, terminating the user’s access to www.18mh.net (“18mh”), or all of the foregoing.
If you believe any material accessible on 18mh infringes your copyright, you may submit a copyright infringement notification by contacting us at [email protected] (steps to be followed are shown below). These requests should only be submitted by the copyright owner or an agent authorized to act on the owner’s behalf. If we remove or disable access to material in response to such a notice, we will take reasonable steps to notify the user that uploaded the affected content material that we have removed or disabled access to so that the user has the opportunity to submit a counter notification (see below, “Counter-Notification Procedures” for instructions on filing a counter notification). It is our policy to document all notices of alleged infringement on which we act.
All copyright infringement notifications and counter-notifications must be written in English or Mandarin. Any attempted notifications written in foreign languages or using foreign characters may, at our discretion, be deemed non-compliant and disregarded.
FILING A DMCA NOTICE OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
If you choose to request removal of content by submitting an infringement notification, please remember that you are initiating a legal process. Do not make false claims. Misuse of this process may result in the suspension of your account or other legal consequences.
You may notify 18mh of alleged copyright infringement by contacting us at [email protected] and provide us with the following information: 1. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works, a representative list of such works. 2. Identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material. If your complaint does not contain the specific URL of the video you believe infringes your rights, we may be unable to locate and remove it. General information about the video, such as a channel URL or username, is typically not adequate. Please include the URL(s) of the exact video(s). 3. Adequate information by which we, and the uploader(s) of any video(s) you remove, can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address). 4. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law. 5. A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. 6. Complete complaints require the physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a representative authorized to act on their behalf. To satisfy this requirement, you may type your full legal name to act as your signature at the bottom of your complaint.
Please do not send other inquiries or requests to [email protected] without basis. If you fail to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA Notice may not be effective.
Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on 18mh is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA. The copyright owner’s name will be published on 18mh in place of disabled content. This will become part of the public record of your DMCA Notice, along with your description of the work(s) allegedly infringed. All the information provided in a DMCA Notice, the actual DMCA Notice (including your personal information), or both may be forwarded to the uploader of the allegedly infringing content. By submitting a DMCA Notice, you consent to having your information revealed in this way.
COUNTER-NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
If you have received a DMCA Notice and believe that material you posted on 18mh was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us (a “Counter-Notice”). Counter notifications must be submitted by the video’s original uploader or an agent authorized to act on their behalf.
Counter-notices must be sent to us at [email protected] . Please do not send other inquiries or requests to [email protected] without basis. Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter-Notice must include substantially the following:
• Your name, address, phone number and physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the allegedly infringing content and its location before removal or access to it was disabled;
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith that the content was removed by mistake or misidentification; and
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which you are located (or if you are outside the U.S., for any judicial district in which the operator of 18mh may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who originally provided us with the DMCA Notice or an agent of such person.
We will not respond to Counter-Notices that do not meet the requirements set out above.
Notice and inform that party that the removed material may be restored after 10 business days but no later than 14 business days from the date we received your Counter Notice, unless our Designated Agent first receives notice from the party who filed the original DMCA Notice informing us that such party has filed a court action to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the material in question.
Please note that when we forward your Counter Notice, it will include your personal information. By submitting a counter notification, you consent to having your information revealed in this way. We will not forward the counter notification to any party other than the original claimant or to law enforcement or parties that assist us with enforcing and protecting our rights. Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on 18mh was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.
REPEAT INFRINGERS
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating or disabling, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also at our sole discretion limit access to 18mh, terminate or disable the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
