Copyright

​

 

1. Purpose and Scope of this Policy

 

To protect the rights of copyright holders, it is Amanotes’s policy to respond to written notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”).

 

 

This Policy is designed to comply with the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512) and may also be used, where appropriate, to process notices of alleged infringement under other applicable laws in jurisdictions outside the United States.

 

For purposes of this Policy, “Service” means any website, mobile application, or online service owned or operated by Amanotes through which content may be uploaded, shared, or otherwise made available.

 

2. Respect of Third Party Rights

Amanotes respects the intellectual property of others and takes the protection of intellectual property very seriously, and we ask our users to do the same. Infringing activity will not be tolerated on or through the Service.

 

However, Amanotes does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any general obligation to monitor the Service or to actively seek facts indicating infringing activity. Amanotes may, but is not required to, review content or activity on the Service and take such action as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

 

3. Repeat Infringer Policy

Amanotes’s intellectual property policy is to: (i) Remove material that Amanotes believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property owner or their agent, is infringing the intellectual property of a third party by being made available through the Service; and (ii) Remove any content (“Content”) posted to the Service by “repeat infringers”.
 

Amanotes may consider a “repeat infringer” to be any user that has uploaded Content to the Service and for whom Amanotes has received two or more takedown notices that substantially comply with the provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) with respect to such Content, and/or any user whom Amanotes otherwise determines, in its sole discretion, has repeatedly infringed or facilitated the infringement of intellectual property rights.

 

Amanotes has discretion to terminate the account of any user of the Service after receipt of a single notification of claimed infringement or upon Amanotes’s own determination, regardless of whether such user meets any specific definition of “repeat infringer.”

 

4. Procedure for Reporting Claimed Infringement

(“Notification of Claimed Infringement”)

4.1. If You believe that any content, materials, data, images, audio, video, games, features, or other works (“Content”) made available on or through the Service has been used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual property right You own or control, promptly send a “Notification of Claimed Infringement” containing the following information to the Designated Agent identified below.

          Your communication must include substantially the following:

• Signature: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the work(s) that has/have been allegedly infringed;

• Identification of the work(s) allegedly infringed: Identification of the works or material claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;

• Identification of the allegedly infringing material on the Service: Identification of the specific material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient for Amanotes to locate the material (for example, URLs, in‑app locations, game names, user IDs, or screenshots);

• Contact information for the complaining party: Information reasonably sufficient to permit Amanotes to contact You, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;

• Good‑faith statement: A statement that You have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

• Accuracy and authority statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury (where applicable), that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

4.2. Incomplete or Non‑Compliant Notices:
Amanotes may decline to act on any notification of claimed infringement that does not substantially contain the information listed above or otherwise does not comply with applicable law, and nothing in this Policy obligates Amanotes to take any particular action with respect to any specific notice.
 

4.3. Action Outside Strict DMCA Requirements

Amanotes may also remove or disable access to content alleged to infringe intellectual property rights where it believes such action is appropriate under laws other than the DMCA or based on Amanotes’s own assessment, even if a notice does not strictly satisfy the formal requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512.

 

5. Copyright Contact Information

Send written notices for claimed infringement by email or by postal mail to:

Amanotes Pte. Ltd.
Attention: Capital Tower, 168 Robinson Road, #20-01, Singapore 068912 (or such other address as we may update from time to time).
Email: support@amanotes.com

The contact information above is provided solely for Notifications of Claimed Infringement and Counter‑Notifications relating to alleged intellectual property infringement. For all other inquiries, please use Amanotes’s general support or contact channels.
 

Amanotes may forward a copy of any Notification of Claimed Infringement or any Counter‑Notification (including the contact details provided therein) to the user who posted the allegedly infringing content and, where appropriate, to service providers, applicable authorities, or third‑party databases or service providers that record such notices, as permitted or required by law.

 

6. Counter‑Notification

If You receive a notification from Amanotes that material made available by You on or through the Service has been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, You will have the right to provide Amanotes with what is called a “Counter‑Notification.”

 

To be effective, a Counter‑Notification must be in writing, provided to Amanotes’s Copyright Agent to the same email or postal address identified above for reporting copyright infringement.

 

Your Counter‑Notification should include substantially the following information:

 

1. Your physical or electronic signature;

2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;

3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that You have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;

4. Your name, address, and telephone number; and

5. A statement that You consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court (for example, the U.S. Federal District Court in the judicial district where Your address is located, or, if You are outside the United States, any judicial district in which Amanotes may be found) and that You will accept service of process from the person who provided the original Notification of Claimed Infringement or their agent. (This final point is described in the underlying DMCA text and should be included in practice even if truncated in the excerpt.)

 

7. Legal Advice Disclaimer

You should consult with Your lawyer and/or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 of the DMCA to confirm Your obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.

Nothing in this Policy constitutes legal advice by Amanotes, and You should not rely on this Policy as a substitute for independent legal advice.

If You are submitting either a Notification of Claimed Infringement or a Counter‑Notification, You are solely responsible for understanding the legal consequences of Your statements, including any liability for misrepresentation, bad‑faith claims, or perjury under applicable law.

 

8. Misuse of the Notice Process

Any misuse of the intellectual property complaint process, including knowingly submitting false, misleading, or bad‑faith claims, or knowingly submitting false or bad‑faith Counter‑Notifications, may result in liability under applicable law and, where appropriate, suspension or termination of Service access.

 

Amanotes reserves the right to seek compensation for damages, costs, and expenses from any party that knowingly submits unlawful or abusive notices or Counter‑Notifications, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
