DMCA & Copyright Policy

Tourist SOS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512 (the “DMCA”), we respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to material claimed to be infringing. This policy explains how to submit a takedown notice, how a counter-notification works, and how we handle repeat infringers.

If you believe that content available on our site or through our services infringes a copyright you own or control, you (or your authorized agent) may submit a written notice that includes, per 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing (or to be the subject of infringing activity) and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it — for example, the specific URL(s).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that 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 the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Notices that do not substantially include the elements above may not receive a response. We recommend consulting an attorney before submitting a notice, as the DMCA imposes liability on parties who knowingly misrepresent that material is infringing.

If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to the address above. Per 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), a valid counter-notification must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before it was removed or disabled.
3. A statement, made 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or an agent of that person.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party. Unless that party informs us that it has filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the removed material in approximately 10–14 business days from receipt of the counter-notification, as required by the DMCA.

In appropriate circumstances, we terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of the copyright rights of others, consistent with the DMCA and applicable law.
