1. Introduction
Codanya respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), we respond promptly to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable laws.
This policy outlines the process for submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice and how we handle such requests.
2. Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you believe that content hosted on or accessible through our service infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA Takedown Notice to our designated agent.
Your notice must include all elements required under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), including:
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
Identification of the infringing material and its location (URL)
Your contact information
A good‑faith statement that the use is not authorized
A statement that the information is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright owner or authorized agent
Your physical or electronic signature
Incomplete notices may not be processed.
3. Designated DMCA Agent
Name: [DMCA Agent Name]
Email: [DMCA Email Address]

This agent is authorized to receive notifications of claimed infringement.
4. Removal of Content
Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will:
Review the complaint
Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material
Notify the user who uploaded the content
Provide information on how they may submit a counter‑notification if they believe the removal was in error
We may also take additional actions, including account suspension or termination for repeat offenders.
5. Counter‑Notification
If you believe your content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a DMCA Counter‑Notification.
Your counter‑notice must include:
Identification of the removed material and its previous location
A statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed due to a mistake or misidentification
Your consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in your region
Your contact information
Your physical or electronic signature
If we receive a valid counter‑notice, we may restore the content unless the original complainant files a court action within 10–14 business days.
6. Repeat Infringer Policy
We may terminate accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers. A “repeat infringer” is a user who receives multiple valid DMCA notices.
7. Misuse of the DMCA
Submitting fraudulent or bad‑faith DMCA notices or counter‑notices may result in legal liability. We reserve the right to take action against individuals who abuse the DMCA process.
8. Updates to This Policy
