It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. This page describes how to submit a DMCA takedown notice and what happens after.
Before You File a Copyright Claim
Daddy Beads Studio is a pattern generation tool, not a content platform. Here's what you should know:
- We do not host or display user-uploaded original images. All image processing happens locally in the user's browser.
- We store pattern data (color grids, settings) that users create. These are private to each user.
- We do not actively monitor or review the patterns users create.
If you believe a user of our Service is infringing your copyright, please follow the process below.
How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice
To file a copyright infringement claim, send a written notice to our designated DMCA agent at:
Email: dmca@daddybeadsstudio.com
Agent: [Name]
Your notice must include all of the following information (incomplete notices may not be processed):
- Your contact information — full name, address, phone number, and email address.
- Identification of the copyrighted work — describe the work you claim is infringed. If you're claiming infringement of multiple works, you may provide a representative list.
- Identification of the infringing material — describe the material that you claim is infringing and where it is located on our Service. Provide enough detail that we can locate it (e.g., the username, pattern name, or a specific URL if applicable).
- Good faith belief statement — 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.
- Accuracy statement — 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.
- Your signature — your physical or electronic signature.
What Happens After We Receive Your Notice
When we receive a complete and valid DMCA notice, we will:
- Acknowledge receipt — we'll email you to confirm we received it.
- Review and investigate — we'll look into the claim and locate the content in question.
- Remove or disable access — if the claim appears valid, we'll remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content.
- Notify the user — we'll attempt to notify the user who posted the content that it has been removed, along with a copy of your notice.
- Keep a record — we maintain a record of all DMCA notices we receive.
We process valid DMCA notices as quickly as possible, typically within 24-48 hours of receipt.
Counter-Notice (If Your Content Was Removed by Mistake)
If you believe your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification.
To file a counter-notice, send a written notice to our DMCA agent at dmca@daddybeadsstudio.com with all of the following:
- Your contact information — full name, address, phone number, and email address.
- Identification of the removed material — describe the content that was removed or disabled and where it was located before it was removed.
- Statement under penalty of perjury — a statement 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.
- Consent to jurisdiction — 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 you are outside the United States, to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the District of Delaware).
- Service acceptance — a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA notice or their agent.
- Your signature — your physical or electronic signature.
What happens after a counter-notice
When we receive a valid counter-notice, we will:
- Forward a copy to the person who filed the original DMCA notice.
- Let them know we may replace the removed content in 10-14 business days.
- If we don't receive notice that the copyright owner has filed a court action against you within that time, we may restore the removed content.
Repeat Infringers
It is our policy to terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright. Here's how it works:
- First strike: Warning + content removed
- Second strike: Final warning + content removed
- Third strike: Permanent account termination
We may skip steps and terminate immediately for:
- Commercial-scale infringement
- Intentional or willful infringement
- Infringement that causes significant harm
- Multiple different works infringed at once
We also reserve the right to terminate accounts for a single serious instance of infringement.
