Copyright / DMCA Policy

1. Scope of this policy

Sagitnote lets users share annotations and self-created documents with others through share links. We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect users of the service to do the same.

This policy describes how copyright holders can report allegedly infringing content shared through the service, how we handle such reports, and how users can respond to a takedown. It is intended to comply with the notice-and-takedown framework of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512). For how this interacts with our terms, see Terms of Service § 3.2.

2. How to file a copyright complaint (takedown notice)

If you believe that content made available through a Sagitnote share link infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated contact below. You do not need to be a lawyer to file a valid notice, but it must include all of the following elements (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

• Your physical or electronic signature (a scanned signature or a typed full name works as an electronic signature)
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (for multiple works, a representative list is acceptable)
• Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it — for our service this is the complete share link URL (for example, https://app.webnoteshub.com/share/…), plus a description of where the infringing material appears on that page
• Your contact information: full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
• 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
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf

Send your notice to:

• Email: service@webnoteshub.com (subject line: "DMCA Takedown Notice")

We ask you to use the subject line above so your report can be identified and routed quickly. If your notice is incomplete, we may ask you to supply the missing information before we can act.

3. What happens after we receive a notice

• We review notices for completeness of the elements listed in Section 2 and act on valid notices as soon as practicable — typically by removing or disabling access to the reported share link or the reported content
• Where appropriate and permitted, we notify the user who shared the content that their content was removed or disabled in response to a copyright complaint, and (if we receive one) forward them your notice and provide them the opportunity to submit a counter-notification as described below
• If your notice concerns content that is not hosted by our service (for example, annotations that only reference a third-party website), we may not be able to act on the reported material itself; in that case we will explain what we can and cannot do

4. Counter-notification

If your content was removed or disabled as a result of a takedown notice and you believe this was a mistake or a misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to service@webnoteshub.com (subject line: "DMCA Counter-Notification"). Your counter-notification must include the following elements (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled, and the location (share link URL) at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled
• 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
• Your full name, mailing address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if you reside outside the United States, of any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original takedown notice or an agent of that person

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may reinstate the removed content in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2), typically after notifying the original complainant of the counter-notification.

5. Repeat infringer policy

In accordance with the DMCA and applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our discretion, limit or terminate access to the sharing feature for users who repeatedly receive valid copyright complaints, even if their account is not terminated.

6. Warning about false claims

Please note: under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that material was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. If you are not sure whether the content you want to report infringes your copyright, we recommend that you seek legal advice first.

7. Copyright complaints outside the United States

If you are located outside the United States, you can still use the procedure and contact above to report content that infringes your copyright, and we will handle your report under the same process. This page does not constitute legal advice, and nothing on it limits any rights you may have under the laws of your country.
