DMCA Copyright Policy

1. Overview

VIP Blocks, LLC (“WebUploads,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our websites, applications, APIs, upload and download links, and related services (collectively, the “Services”) to do the same.

The Services allow customers and their invitees to upload, store, and share files. We do not claim ownership of Customer Content (as defined in our Terms of Service). In appropriate circumstances, and in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will remove or disable access to material that we believe in good faith infringes copyright, and we may terminate accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

This policy is part of our public legal documentation and should be read with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. It describes copyright notice-and-takedown procedures under U.S. law. It is not legal advice; consult your own counsel about your rights and obligations.

2. Designated copyright agent

Notices of claimed copyright infringement (and related counter-notices) under the DMCA should be sent to our designated agent:

For fastest processing, email is preferred. Please put “DMCA Notice” or “DMCA Counter-Notice” in the subject line. Paper mail should be addressed exactly as above so it reaches our copyright team.

Single-line mailing address: VIP Blocks, LLC, ATTN: DMCA Compliance, 944 Deltona Blvd #5096, Deltona, FL 32725.

3. Filing a DMCA notice of claimed infringement

If you believe material available on or through the Services infringes a copyright you own or control, you (or your authorized agent) may submit a written notice to our designated agent that substantially includes all of the following (see 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

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, if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (for example, the full URL of a download link, upload link, file or folder path if known, file name, account or workspace identifiers, and the date/time you observed the material).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
5. 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.
6. 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.

Incomplete notices may delay processing. We may request additional information if a notice is deficient. Do not send unrelated attachments or malware samples as part of a copyright notice; describe the location of the material instead.

4. After we receive a notice

Upon receipt of a notice that substantially complies with the requirements above, we will in appropriate circumstances:

• Remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice (which may include disabling download or upload links, quarantining or deleting files, or limiting account access to the material);
• Take reasonable steps to notify the subscriber or account holder who provided the material that we have removed or disabled access to it; and
• Document the notice and our response as needed for compliance and security purposes.

We may also take other enforcement steps described in our Terms of Service, including suspension or termination for serious or repeated violations. Receipt of a notice does not mean we have made a final determination of infringement; we act on valid notices as required to maintain safe-harbor compliance and to protect rights holders.

5. Counter-notification

If you are a user whose material was removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notice and you believe the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), a counter-notification must substantially include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. 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 access was disabled.
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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and 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 VIP Blocks, LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may forward a copy to the original complaining party. Unless that party files an action seeking a court order against you and notifies us as provided by the DMCA, we may replace or restore access to the material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice (or as otherwise permitted or required by law). We may decline to restore material when doing so would violate law, our Terms, or create ongoing risk (for example, malware or content that remains prohibited for non-copyright reasons).

6. Repeat infringer policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, it is our policy, in appropriate circumstances, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Services, remove or disable content, and/or terminate accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement. Account holders remain responsible for Customer Content uploaded through their workspace and links, as described in the Terms of Service.

7. Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation as the result of our relying upon it.

Before submitting a notice or counter-notice, ensure your statements are accurate and that you are authorized to make them. If you are unsure whether material infringes your rights, consult an attorney.

8. Other abuse and non-copyright reports

For reports that are not copyright claims under the DMCA — for example malware, phishing, child sexual abuse material, fraud, harassment, or other Terms violations — contact us at support@webuploads.com with relevant URLs, link codes, timestamps, and a description of the concern. See also our Terms of Service (acceptable use and enforcement) and Security pages.

Trademark, publicity, privacy, and other non-copyright intellectual property concerns may also be sent to support@webuploads.com. We handle those reports under our Terms and applicable law; they are not DMCA notices unless they also include a valid copyright claim as described above.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this DMCA Copyright Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last modified” date above. Material changes may also be communicated by notice on our website or other reasonable means. Continued use of the Services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
