If you need help removing infringing material found on other websites, please contact us at https://help.fanvue.com.

DMCA Notice & Takedown Policy and Procedures

Although our website is not based in the United States, we respect the intellectual property rights of copyright holders and have voluntarily chosen to comply with the Notice and Takedown provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). As a Service Provider within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 512(k)(1) of the DMCA, we are entitled to certain protections from claims of copyright infringement under the DMCA's "safe harbor" provisions. We respect the intellectual property of others and ask our users to do the same. Thus, we observe and comply with the DMCA and have adopted the following Notice and Takedown Policy relating to claims of copyright infringement by our customers, subscribers or users:

It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA. In addition, we will promptly terminate the accounts of those we determined to be "repeat infringers" without notice. If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and you believe that any content hosted on our website infringes your copyrights, then you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing us with the following information in writing:

Notice of Claimed Infringement

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
• Identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed;
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be 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;
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address;
• A statement that the complaining party has 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; and
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right allegedly infringed.

You may send your Notice of Claimed Infringement ("Notice") to:

Email: [email protected]

Please do not send other inquiries or information to our Designated Agent. This policy only applies to infringing content published on fanvue.com. To report infringing material on other sites, please get in touch with the other site or your local authorities. Absent prior express permission, our Designated Agent is not authorised to accept or waive service of formal legal process, and any agency relationship beyond that required to accept valid DMCA Notices is expressly disclaimed.

Further information regarding notification and takedown requirements can be found in the DMCA here: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512

Abuse Notification: Abusing the DMCA Notice procedures set forth above, or misrepresenting facts in a DMCA Notice or Counter-notification, can result in legal liability for damages, court costs and attorneys fees under federal law. See; 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). These Notice and Takedown Procedures only apply to claims of copyright infringement by copyright holders and their agents - not to any other kind of abuse, infringement or legal claim. We will investigate and take action against anyone abusing the DMCA notification or counter-notification procedure. Please ensure you meet all legal qualifications before submitting a DMCA Notice to our Designated Agent.

Take Down Procedure

The Site follows a "notification and takedown" procedure when notified of claimed copyright infringement. The Site reserves the right to disable access to or remove any infringing material. The Site terminates accounts of repeat infringers if appropriate. The DMCA Notice Procedures are set forth in the preceding paragraph. If the Notice does not comply with §512 of the DMCA but does comply with three requirements for identifying sites that are infringing according to §512 of the DMCA, the Site attempts to contact the complaining party to help them comply with notification requirements. When the Designated Agent receives a valid Notice, the Site removes and/or disables access to the infringing material and notifies the affected user. The affected user may submit a counter-notification to the Designated Agent containing a statement made under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed because of misidentification of the material. After the Designated Agent receives the counter-notification, it replaces the material at issue within 10-14 days unless it receives notice that a court action has been filed by the complaining party seeking an injunction against the infringing activity.
