DMCA Policy
Last updated: June 24, 2024
Shoreford ("we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our platform at shoreford.com to do the same. This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy describes how we respond to claims of copyright infringement and how rights holders may submit a notice requesting removal of infringing content.
1. Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you believe that content available on or through our platform infringes one or more of your copyrights, you may submit a written notification to our designated copyright agent. To be effective, your notification must include all of the following information:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work or works claimed to have been infringed.
- 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 the material on our platform (such as a URL or specific description).
- Your contact information, including your 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 the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
2. Designated Copyright Agent

| Mailing Address | Akademika Hnatyuka St, 3, Lviv, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine, 79000 |
We recommend submitting your notice by email to ensure the fastest possible response.
3. Our Response to Valid Notices
Upon receipt of a complete and valid DMCA notice, we will:
- Review the claim promptly and in good faith.
- Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content where appropriate.
- Notify the user who posted the content that it has been removed or disabled.
- Take reasonable steps to prevent future infringement by repeat infringers.
We reserve the right to request additional information before processing a notice if the submission is incomplete or unclear.
4. Counter-Notification Procedure
If you believe that content you posted was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our copyright agent. A valid counter-notification must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
- 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 name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the relevant dispute resolution authority and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA notice.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we may reinstate the removed content within a reasonable period, unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a legal action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
5. Repeat Infringer Policy
We maintain a policy of terminating accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. A user may be considered a repeat infringer if they receive multiple valid DMCA notices or if they repeatedly upload content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights.
6. Misrepresentation
Please be aware that submitting a DMCA notice or counter-notification that contains materially false statements may result in legal liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. We encourage you to consult a legal professional before submitting any notice if you are uncertain whether the content in question is infringing.
7. Good Faith and Accuracy
We process all DMCA notices and counter-notifications in good faith and in accordance with applicable law. We do not make legal determinations about the merits of any copyright dispute, and the removal of content in response to a notice does not constitute an admission of any wrongdoing by us or by the user whose content was removed.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this DMCA Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of our platform following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
