DMCA Copyright Policy

Effective Date: September 28, 2026

The Art of Practice respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. This policy explains how to report material on the Service that you believe infringes your copyright, and how a user whose content was removed can respond.

This policy is provided in the spirit of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and similar notice-and-takedown frameworks under EU law (Directive (EU) 2019/790 and the Digital Services Act).

1. Designated Agent for Notices

Send copyright infringement notices and counter-notices to our designated agent:

Designated Agent: Gafarova Tanzilia
Operating as: The Art of Practice
Postal Address: Szondi utca 2/A, 1201 Budapest, Hungary
Email: support@theartofpractice.com
Please put “DMCA Notice” or “DMCA Counter-Notice” in the subject line. Email is the fastest channel; postal notices are also accepted at the address above.

2. How to Submit a Takedown Notice

If you believe content on the Service infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, send us a written notice that includes all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name is sufficient).
2. A clear identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (for example, the title, a URL to the original, or a registration number).
3. A clear identification of the material on the Service you want removed, including a direct URL or enough detail that we can locate it.
4. Your full name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Incomplete notices may delay our response. We may forward your notice (including your contact details) to the user who posted the material so they understand who is asserting the claim.

3. What Happens Next

• If your notice is valid on its face, we will promptly remove or disable access to the reported material and notify the user who posted it. A community post or comment taken down this way is hidden from everyone except its author, not deleted, so it can be restored after a valid counter-notice (section 4).
• We will keep a record of the notice for our own compliance and audit purposes.

3a. Repeat Infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright. An account that is the subject of three valid notices within twelve months, none of them successfully countered, is terminated, and its owner may not open a new account. We may terminate sooner for flagrant or deliberate infringement. Members can see this rule in our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.

3b. Reporting From Inside the App

Members can report a post, comment or message that copies someone else's work directly from the app: open its menu, choose Report, then Copyright infringement. Anyone else can use the "Report copyright infringement" link on our public pages, which leads here. An in-app report tells us to look; a formal takedown still needs the notice described in section 2.

4. Counter-Notice

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. Include all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your full name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of Budapest, Hungary, and (if you are located in the United States) the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may forward a copy to the original complainant. Unless the complainant notifies us within a reasonable period (generally 10–14 business days) that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, we may restore the removed material.

5. False Claims

Knowingly submitting a false takedown notice or counter-notice may expose you to liability for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and equivalent provisions of applicable law. Please make sure your claim is accurate before you send it.

6. Other IP Claims

For trademark, right-of-publicity, or other intellectual-property claims that are not copyright claims, please contact support@theartofpractice.com with a clear description of the issue and the material concerned. We review these on a case-by-case basis.
