DMCA Notice & Takedown Policy

Marinaid (operated by Polpis LLC, "we," "our," or "us") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our application and related services (collectively, the "App") to do the same.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will respond expeditiously to notices of alleged copyright infringement that are reported to our designated copyright agent.

1. Designated Copyright Agent

2. How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that content available through the App infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent at the email or postal address above. To be effective 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 a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works at the App are covered by a single notification, a representative list of those works).
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (e.g., the offending profile handle, the URL of a published recipe card, or a screenshot).
4. Your contact information, including your 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 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 notification is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Notices that do not substantially comply with the foregoing may not be effective. Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

3. What We Do When We Receive a Valid Notice

Upon receipt of a notice that substantially complies with § 512(c)(3), we will:

• Remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice expeditiously;
• Take reasonable steps to promptly notify the user who published the material that we have removed or disabled access to it;
• Forward a copy of the notice to that user; and
• Apply the repeat-infringer policy described in Section 5 below.

4. Counter-Notification

If you believe that content of yours that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the right to post and use the material from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, you may send a counter-notification to our designated agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), your counter-notification must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material 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 full legal name, mailing address, 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 your address is outside the United States — for any judicial district in which Marinaid may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice under § 512(c)(1)(C) or that person's agent.

Upon receipt of a counter-notification that substantially complies with § 512(g)(3), we will forward a copy to the original notifier and inform them that we may restore the material in 10 business days. We will restore the material unless we receive notice that the original notifier has filed a court action seeking a restraining order against you.

As with takedown notices: under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.

5. Repeat-Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Marinaid has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also limit access to the App and terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

6. Reporting Other Concerns

For concerns that do not involve copyright infringement — for example, harassment, impersonation, or community-guideline violations — please contact us at support@marinaid.app. These reports do not require a DMCA notice and will be handled through our standard support process.
