DMCA Notice & Takedown

ToneVault respects intellectual-property rights. If you believe content on ToneVault infringes your copyright, you can submit a notice under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and we will respond.

Send a notice

Send your written notice to dmca@example.com. To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and its location on ToneVault — please include the full URL of every item.
4. Your contact information: full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Knowingly sending false notices can expose you to liability under § 512(f). If you are not sure your claim qualifies, consult a lawyer before sending.

What happens next

1. We review your notice and, if it appears valid on its face, remove or disable access to the identified material.
2. We notify the uploader and provide them a copy of your notice (excluding any information they don’t need to file a counter-notice, where reasonable).
3. We log the action in our internal moderation audit so that repeat-infringer policy can be enforced.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to dmca@example.com. Per 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), your counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location it appeared at before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal court for the judicial district where you live (or, if you live outside the U.S., where [Operator name to be set] may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the notice-sender or their agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original notice-sender. If they do not file a court action within 10–14 business days, we may restore the material.

Repeat-infringer policy

In appropriate circumstances we will terminate the accounts of users we determine to be repeat infringers. Determinations are made case by case based on the facts of each notice and any counter-notices.
