If you believe content hosted on Koo infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a notice to our designated agent at dmca@koo.io.
Designated agent
Copyright notices and counter-notifications must be sent to our designated agent at dmca@koo.io. Notices sent to any other address may not receive a timely response.
Elements of a valid notice
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include: (1) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (3) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it, such as its URL; (4) your contact information, including a mailing address, telephone number, and email address; (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; and (6) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
How we respond
On receipt of a valid notice we may remove or disable access to the identified material and will make a reasonable effort to notify the affected user. We may also take action consistent with our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.
Counter-notification
If you believe your material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to dmca@koo.io. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), a counter-notification must include your signature; identification of the material and the location from which it was removed; a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, and telephone number, together with a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of an appropriate court and to accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice. We may restore the material as permitted by law.
Repeat infringers
In appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, we will disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
Misrepresentation
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. Please submit notices and counter-notifications in good faith.
