Bonkiv respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects everyone who uses the platform to do the same. This policy explains how to report content on Bonkiv that you believe infringes your copyright, and how we respond, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.
For how we handle your personal data instead, see our Privacy Policy
Bonkiv's designated agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement under the DMCA is:
[DESIGNATED AGENT NAME] [AGENT MAILING ADDRESS] Email: [AGENT EMAIL] Phone: [AGENT PHONE — optional]
This agent is also registered with the U.S. Copyright Office's DMCA Designated Agent Directory.
To file a valid notice, send our designated agent a written communication that includes:
• A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner • Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed • Identification of the specific material on Bonkiv you claim is infringing, with enough detail (e.g. a URL) for us to locate it • Your contact information — address, telephone number, and email address • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law • A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information is accurate and that you're authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
We'll remove or disable access to material that appears to infringe once we receive a notice meeting these requirements, and will make reasonable efforts to notify the user who posted it.
If you believe material you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent that includes:
• Your physical or electronic signature • Identification of the material that was removed and its location before it was removed • A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification • Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the U.S., any judicial district in which Bonkiv may be found) and will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice
Unless the original complainant files a court action within the time allowed by law, we may restore the removed material.
Bonkiv will, in appropriate circumstances, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers.
Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing (or was removed by mistake) may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
General questions about this policy (not a copyright notice itself — see Section 1 above for where those go) can be sent to Bonkiv@proton.me.
