    DMCA Policy for Pockery.com

    Effective Date: October 9, 2025

    1. Introduction

    Pockery.com respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Pockery.com website (the “Site”) that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

    This policy outlines the procedure for copyright holders to notify us of alleged infringement and for users to respond to such notices. This policy applies to all content on Pockery.com, including articles, images, videos, and user-generated comments.

    2. Designated DMCA Agent

    To report a copyright infringement, you must send a written notification to our Designated DMCA Agent.

    3. How to File a Copyright Infringement Notice

    If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content on our Site infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our Designated Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C § 512(c)(3) for further detail):

    • Your Contact Information: Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
    • Identification of the Copyrighted Work: A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, you may provide a representative list of such works.
    • Identification of Infringing Material: The specific URL(s) on Pockery.com where the allegedly infringing material is located. Please be as specific as possible (e.g., [https://pockery.com/news/article-title]).
    • Good Faith Belief 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.
    • Accuracy Statement: A statement that the information in the notification 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: A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest.

    4. What Happens After We Receive a Notice

    Upon receipt of a valid DMCA infringement notice, Pockery.com will:

    1. Acknowledge receipt of your complaint via email.
    2. Promptly remove or disable access to the material that is claimed to be infringing.
    3. Notify the user or content provider who posted the material that we have removed or disabled access to it.
    4. Implement our repeat infringer policy if the user has a history of infringement.

    5. How to File a Counter-Notification

    If you believe that the material you posted was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our Designated Agent. Pursuant to 17 U.S.C § 512(g)(3), your counter-notification must include the following:

    • Your Contact Information: Your full name, address, phone number, and email address.
    • Identification of Removed Material: A description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location (URL) at which the material appeared before it was removed.
    • Good Faith Belief Statement: 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.
    • 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 your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Pockery.com may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notification or an agent of such person.
    • Your Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

    Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward a copy to the original complaining party. The complaining party will then have 10 business days to notify us that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in the infringing activity. If we do not receive such notification, we may, at our discretion, reinstate the material.

    6. Misrepresentations

    Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C § 512(f), any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed by mistake, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

    7. Policy for Repeat Infringers

    Pockery.com will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We reserve the right to define what constitutes repeat infringement based on the specific circumstances.

    8. Disclaimer for Third-Party Content

    Pockery.com may contain links to third-party websites and platforms. We are not responsible for the content on these sites and do not have control over their copyright policies. Any copyright concerns regarding third-party content should be directed to the respective site’s administrator.
