DMCA and Copyright Policy

warrantd 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. Section 512), warrantd has implemented procedures for receiving notifications of claimed copyright infringement and for processing such claims.

Our designated agent for receiving DMCA takedown notices is:

We are in the process of registering our designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office at dmca.copyright.gov.

To file a DMCA takedown notice, your notification must include the following six elements required by 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it
4. Your contact information (address, telephone number, email)
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use 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 notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner

Send takedown notices to dmca@warrantd.com.

If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent including:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the removed material and its former location
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake
• Your name, address, and telephone number
• A statement consenting to jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or Western District of Washington if outside the US)
• A statement that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant and restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days, unless the complainant files a court action seeking a restraining order.

warrantd maintains a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. Users who receive three valid DMCA takedown notices may have their accounts permanently terminated. We implement this policy in a reasonable manner and track notices associated with user accounts.

Please be aware that 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 subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

warrantd is designed for academic research and writing. Many uses of copyrighted material in an academic context may constitute fair use under 17 U.S.C. 107. However, fair use is a defense raised by users, not a basis for warrantd to ignore valid takedown notices.

Users are responsible for ensuring they have the legal right to upload content to warrantd. Before uploading academic papers, review your publishing agreement and the publisher's copyright policies.
