DMCA / Copyright Policy
Effective Date: April 18, 2026
PinLaunchr respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA"), we will respond promptly to valid notices of claimed copyright infringement and will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of repeat infringers.
1. Designated Copyright Agent
Send DMCA notices and counter-notices to:
Copyright Agent — PinLaunchr 1209 Mountain Road Place Northeast Albuquerque, NM 87110, United States Email: contact@pinlaunchr.com (subject line: "DMCA Notice")
2. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe content hosted on or published through PinLaunchr infringes your copyright, send a written notice including all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or a representative list if multiple works);
- Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to locate it (e.g., URLs, pin links, account name);
- Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, email);
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- 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.
Misrepresentations in a notice can result in liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Consider whether the use may be a fair use before filing.
3. Our Response
Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will:
- Remove or disable access to the identified material promptly;
- Notify the user who posted or generated the material and provide a copy of the notice;
- Record the strike for repeat-infringer purposes.
4. Counter-Notification
If you believe your material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice including:
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of the removed material and its prior location;
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for your district (or, if outside the U.S., the District of New Mexico), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless the complainant notifies us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, we may restore the removed material within 10–14 business days.
5. Repeat Infringers
We maintain a repeat-infringer policy: accounts that accumulate multiple valid infringement strikes will be terminated. We may also terminate immediately for egregious infringement.
6. Note on AI-Generated Content
Users are responsible for ensuring content they generate and publish through PinLaunchr (including AI-generated images and text) does not infringe third-party rights. Copyright complaints relating to AI-generated content follow the same process described above.
7. Other Intellectual Property
For trademark or other non-copyright IP complaints, email contact@pinlaunchr.com with the subject "IP Complaint" and equivalent identifying information; we review such complaints on a similar basis.
