Alaha Technology LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of KnanayaCommunity.org and the Knanaya Community Mobile Application (collectively, the “Site”) to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we have adopted the following policy regarding copyright infringement.
If you believe that any content on the Site infringes upon your copyright, please follow the procedure outlined below to submit a notice of claimed infringement.
We have designated a DMCA Agent to receive notices of claimed copyright infringement. All notices must be submitted in writing to our Designated Agent at:
DMCA Agent
Alaha Technology LLC
Attn: DMCA Copyright Agent
Online Contact Form: Contact Us
If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that content on the Site infringes your copyright, you may submit a written DMCA takedown notice to our Designated Agent as a document file to the contact form. To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following:
Upon receipt of a valid and complete takedown notice, we will expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content and notify the user who posted the content.
If you believe that content you posted on the Site was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notice to our Designated Agent as a document file to the contact form. Your counter-notice must include all of the following:
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant who submitted the takedown notice. If the original complainant does not notify us within ten (10) business days that they have filed a court action to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may, at our sole discretion, restore the removed content.
In accordance with the DMCA and applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are deemed repeat copyright infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Site or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
KnanayaCommunity.org is a community platform that hosts user-generated content. We do not pre-screen content submitted by users. We qualify for the “safe harbor” protections under 17 U.S.C. § 512 because we act expeditiously to remove infringing content upon receipt of a valid takedown notice, do not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity, and do not have actual knowledge of the infringing content prior to notification.
Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. We reserve the right to seek such damages from any party who submits a fraudulent or bad-faith notice.
We reserve the right to modify this DMCA Copyright Policy at any time. Changes will become effective upon posting of the revised policy on the Site, with the “Last Updated” date reflecting the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site following such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
