Flavor Dishy respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) policy outlines the procedures for handling copyright infringement claims.

1. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied and is accessible on Flavor Dishy in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may notify our designated copyright agent. Please provide the following information in writing (as required by the DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512):

  • Identification of the copyrighted work: Clearly identify the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works is sufficient.
  • Identification of the infringing material: Identify the material that you claim is infringing or is the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material. This should include a URL or other specific location of the material on Flavor Dishy.
  • Your contact information: Provide your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement of good faith: 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.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  • Your signature: Provide your physical or electronic signature.

Please send your written notification to our designated copyright agent:

  • Name: [Your Name or Designated Contact Person]
  • Title: [Your Title or Position, e.g., Copyright Agent]
  • Email: [Contact@flavordishy.com]
  • Address: [Your Mailing Address]

2. Procedure for Handling Infringement Claims

Upon receipt of a proper DMCA notice, Flavor Dishy will:

  • Investigate the claim: We will review the notice and investigate the alleged infringement.
  • Remove or disable access: If we determine that the material infringes on a copyright, we will promptly remove or disable access to the infringing material.
  • Notify the user: We will notify the user who posted the material of the alleged infringement and our actions.
  • Repeat Infringers: Flavor Dishy may terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

3. Counter-Notification

If you believe that your material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated copyright agent. To be effective, a counter-notification must be a written communication that includes the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • 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 disabled.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number.
  • 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 of the United States, for any judicial district in which Flavor Dishy may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement or an agent of such person.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, Flavor Dishy will:

  • Forward the counter-notification: We will forward the counter-notification to the party who initially provided the notice of infringement.
  • Notify the original complainant: We will inform the original complainant that we will restore the material in ten (10) business days.
  • Restore the material: If we do not receive notice that the original complainant has filed a lawsuit seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity, we will restore the removed or disabled material.
