Copyright Infringement Policy (DMCA & Global Takedown Procedure)
This Policy forms part of the Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy of SCALIBIT.
SCALIBIT (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and encourages you to do the same. We maintain a strict policy of removing or disabling access to content that infringes the rights of others and terminating, where appropriate, accounts or access of users who repeatedly engage in such conduct. This Policy is based on the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512) and equivalent safe-harbor and intermediary-liability frameworks under applicable international laws, including the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) and related global legislation.
This Policy applies to all SCALIBIT Services and Infrastructure, including Shared Hosting, Cloud, and Dedicated environments.
If you (“Complainant”) believe that your copyrighted work has been copied or distributed by a SCALIBIT customer in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide written notice to our Designated Agent as outlined below. This procedure is exclusively for notifying SCALIBIT that your copyrighted material may have been infringed.
Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringement
Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512 and other applicable law, SCALIBIT has implemented procedures for receiving and processing valid DMCA notices. Please direct notices to:
SCALIBIT.COM
Copyright Agent
Email: copyrightclaims@scalibit.com
For general legal inquiries, please use dmca@scalibit.com.
Please include “DMCA Notice” or “Copyright Claim” in the subject line for faster processing.
Please do not send unrelated inquiries to our Designated Agent.
To be considered valid, your written notice must include all of the following:
A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple works, a representative list.
Identification of the infringing material, including the URL, IP address, or other location information sufficient for SCALIBIT to locate the material.
Contact information for the notifier, including full name, address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement of good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
“I hereby state that I have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
“I hereby state that the information in this notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.”
Upon receiving a valid notice, SCALIBIT will expeditiously remove or disable access to the material and notify the affected customer in accordance with DMCA and other applicable frameworks.
Notice-and-Takedown Procedures
SCALIBIT’s role is limited to relaying valid infringement notices to the relevant customer and ensuring compliance within the legal timeframe. As an infrastructure provider, SCALIBIT does not directly access, modify, or delete any customer content or data, except when required by applicable law or court order. Upon receiving a valid complaint (e.g., DMCA or other intellectual property notice), SCALIBIT will promptly forward the report to the associated customer and request corrective action.
The customer is required to investigate the claim and remove or disable the allegedly infringing content within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving the notice (or within any shorter period required by applicable law). If the customer fails to take appropriate action or respond within the specified period, SCALIBIT reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate the affected service, website, or server to maintain compliance with applicable laws and protect the integrity of its network.
This approach ensures both compliance with intellectual property regulations and protection of user privacy, as SCALIBIT does not interfere with customer-managed systems or access customer data directly. Where appropriate, SCALIBIT may cooperate with rights holders or law-enforcement agencies to ensure lawful resolution of infringement matters.
SCALIBIT shall not be held liable for any user-generated content, data, or materials hosted, transmitted, or otherwise made available through any customer-managed or customer-controlled service — in accordance with applicable safe-harbor provisions and intermediary liability protections under relevant law.
All content hosted, stored, or transmitted through SCALIBIT Services is the sole legal responsibility of the customer. SCALIBIT assumes no liability whatsoever for such content or for any actions, omissions, or consequences arising from customer use of its services.
SCALIBIT acts in full compliance with the notice-and-takedown provisions of 17 U.S.C. §512(c) (DMCA) and equivalent safe-harbor regulations under applicable international law.
Submitting a DMCA Counter-Notification
If you believe that content was removed or disabled in error, you may file a counter-notice by emailing copyrightclaims@scalibit.com with the following information:
Your physical or electronic signature (typed full name).
Identification of the material that has been removed and its prior location.
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court where you reside (or any jurisdiction where SCALIBIT operates if outside the U.S.) and accepting service of process from the Complainant.
Filing a false or misleading counter-notice may result in legal liability and permanent account termination.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, SCALIBIT will forward it to the Complainant and may restore the content within 10–14 business days unless the Complainant provides evidence of a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement.
Consequences & Abuse Warning
Misrepresentation in either a DMCA notice or counter-notice may expose the sender to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) or equivalent provisions under international law. SCALIBIT will pursue misuse of its DMCA process and cooperate with law enforcement in any investigation of such abuse.
Termination of Repeat Infringers
SCALIBIT reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the account or access of any user subject to repeated or verified infringement notices.
