Copyright Policy

You may only upload, post, or share content on the Service that you have the legal right to share. This means you must either:

• own the copyright in the content;
• have obtained a valid license or permission from the copyright owner;
• have a good-faith belief that your use qualifies as fair use or fair dealing under applicable law; or
• be sharing content that is in the public domain.

Uploading, posting, or sharing content that infringes another person's copyright is a violation of our Terms of Use and may result in content removal, account suspension, or termination.

The following conduct is prohibited on the Service:

• Uploading, posting, or sharing copyrighted works without authorization;
• Removing or altering copyright management information (CMI) embedded in content;
• Circumventing technological protection measures applied to copyrighted works;
• Re-uploading content that has been previously removed for copyright infringement;
• Encouraging or facilitating others to infringe copyright.

A DMCA takedown notice may be submitted by:

• The copyright owner of the allegedly infringed work; or
• A person authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf (e.g., an attorney or rights management organization).

If you are not the copyright owner or their authorized representative, do not submit a takedown notice. Submitting a notice on behalf of someone else without authorization may expose you to legal liability.

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your written takedown notice must include all of the following elements:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or their authorized representative;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list is acceptable;
3. Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it on the Service (e.g., a direct URL to the content);
4. Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

You may submit a DMCA takedown notice by email to copyright@pushstartgo.com. We strongly recommend submitting notices by email to ensure timely processing.

Upon receipt of a complete and valid takedown notice, we will:

• Acknowledge receipt within five (5) business days;
• Review the notice for completeness and apparent validity;
• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content if the notice is facially valid;
• Notify the user who posted the content that it has been removed and provide them a copy of the notice (with your personal contact information redacted where feasible); and
• Inform the user of their right to submit a counter-notification.

We reserve the right to decline to act on notices that are incomplete, facially invalid, or abusive.

If your content was removed or disabled in response to a DMCA takedown notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. Common reasons include:

• You are the copyright owner or have a valid license to use the content;
• Your use of the content constitutes fair use, fair dealing, or another applicable exception;
• The content identified in the notice is not copyrightable (e.g., facts, ideas, or public domain works); or
• The notice contained materially false information.

Do not file a counter-notification if you actually infringed the copyright or are unsure of your rights. Filing a false counter-notification may expose you to legal liability.

Your written counter-notification must include all of the following under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the content that was removed or disabled and its location before removal (e.g., the URL where it appeared);
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. Your full name, mailing address, and telephone number; and
5. 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 outside the United States, any judicial district in which Push Start Go LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice.

Send your counter-notification to copyright-appeals@pushstartgo.com. Include “DMCA Counter-Notification” and your original case reference number in the subject line.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will:

• Forward a copy to the original complainant within five (5) business days;
• Inform the complainant that the removed content will be restored within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days unless the complainant notifies us that they have filed an action seeking a court order; and
• Restore the content within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days if we do not receive notice that the complainant has filed a court action.

Push Start Go LLC maintains a repeat infringer policy as required for DMCA safe harbor eligibility. We track copyright strikes on a rolling basis and will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

Strikes that are successfully resolved through the counter-notification process or that we determine to be erroneous will be removed from a user's record. Uncontested strikes remain on record for twenty-four (24) months from the date of the notice.

We reserve the right to immediately terminate an account without warning if a user engages in particularly egregious or willful copyright infringement, including but not limited to:

• Mass uploading of clearly infringing commercial content (e.g., full-length films, albums, or software);
• Operating an account whose primary purpose is to distribute infringing content;
• Re-uploading content within 24 hours of its removal for copyright infringement; or
• Using automated tools to circumvent our copyright detection systems.

PushStartGo.com employs automated copyright detection tools that scan uploaded content against a database of reference files provided by rights holders. These tools may:

• Identify content that matches or substantially matches a registered reference file;
• Automatically mute, block, or restrict the reach of content pending rights holder review;
• Attribute matched content to the rights holder for monetization or tracking purposes; or
• Allow the rights holder to elect to have the content removed.

If your content is flagged by automated detection and you believe the match is incorrect or your use is authorized, you may dispute the match through your account dashboard within thirty (30) days of the flag. The rights holder will have thirty (30) days to review your dispute and either release or uphold the claim. If the claim is upheld, you may escalate the dispute through the counter-notification process described in Section 5.

Automated detection is not infallible. We do not guarantee that all infringing content will be detected, and we are not liable for the failure of automated tools to identify infringement. Rights holders may separately submit manual DMCA notices for content not captured by automated detection.
