DMCA Notice & Takedown Policy

1. Overview

TargetVid (“Service,” operated by Blue Snow Developers LLC) respects the intellectual property rights of others and asks our users to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

If you believe content available through the Service infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a written notice to our DMCA contact following the procedure below.

2. How to Reach Us

Send copyright notices to our DMCA contact by email. A postal address is available on request.

3. How to Submit a Notice

To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must be a written communication that includes substantially all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g., the original listing-detail page URL, the photographer or brokerage that owns the photo, the date the work was first published).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that should be removed, with information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate it (e.g., the TargetVid render URL, the share-page token, or the listing ID).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to allow us to contact you: name, postal 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.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

4. Our Response (SLA)

• We acknowledge receipt of a complete DMCA notice within 1 business day.
• We act on a complete DMCA notice (remove or disable access to the identified material) within 10 business days.
• We notify the user who uploaded or generated the material that their content was removed or disabled and forward the notice to them.
• We log the notice, the action taken, and the timestamps in our internal audit log for compliance review.

5. Counter-Notice Procedure

If you are the user whose content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our DMCA contact. A valid counter-notice must 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 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.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which you reside (or the Northern District of California if you reside outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the original complaining party or its agent.

On receipt of a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days, unless the original complaining party notifies us that it has filed an action seeking a court order against you.

6. Repeat-Infringer Policy

It is our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We track DMCA notices against each account; users who accumulate multiple substantiated notices may be warned, suspended, or terminated without refund.

7. Brokerage Opt-Out Registry

In addition to the DMCA process, brokerages and rights holders can request that our URL-import feature block imports originating from URLs containing their brokerage domain or signature. To request opt-out, email optout@targetvid.com with the brokerage name and the domain or URL pattern to block. We maintain a denylist that pre-filters URL imports.

This is a pre-import block, not a post-render remedy — it prevents new imports from opted-out URLs but does not retroactively remove existing renders. For removal of an existing render, use the DMCA notice process above.

8. Misuse of This Process

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability. Submit notices only for content you have a good-faith belief is infringing.
