DMCA Takedown Policy

1. How to Submit a Takedown Notice

Send a written notice to our designated agent at waterapply1@gmail.com(subject line: "DMCA Notice"). The notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works are at issue).
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, with information sufficient to permit us to locate it (a URL is ideal).
4. Information sufficient to permit us to contact you (mailing address, telephone number, and email address).
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. 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 owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

2. Designated Agent

WaterApply DMCA Agent
Email: waterapply1@gmail.com
Mailing region: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

We may register this designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office. If we do, we will update this Policy with the registration link.

3. What We Will Do

• We will review your notice and, if it is valid on its face, remove or disable access to the material identified.
• We will notify the user whose content was removed and provide them with a copy of your notice (which may include your contact information).
• We will keep a record of the notice for our records and our repeat-infringer tracking.

4. Counter-Notice

If you are a WaterApply user whose content was removed and you believe the removal was in error or was based on a misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. Send it to waterapply1@gmail.com(subject line: "DMCA Counter-Notice") with the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
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.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email.
5. 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, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California or any other district in which WaterApply may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or an agent of that person.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the content within 10 to 14 business days unless we receive notice that the original complainant has filed a court action seeking to restrain you from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

We will terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. A repeat infringer is, generally, a user against whom we have received and acted upon multiple valid DMCA notices.

6. Notice and Notice (Canada)

For copyright concerns under the Canadian Copyright Act§ 41.25, we forward notices of claimed infringement to the user whose content is identified, as required by the "notice and notice" regime. We retain notices for the period required by law.

7. False Notices

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may result in liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and equivalent Canadian law.

8. Other Intellectual Property Claims

For trademark, publicity, or other non-copyright IP concerns, contact us at waterapply1@gmail.com with a clear description of the claim, the affected material, and your contact information.
