Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

Chickitik (operated by ITcoti Oy) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the same from users of our service.

We comply with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), including the safe harbor provisions, and other applicable copyright laws.

This policy describes the procedures we follow upon receiving notifications of alleged copyright infringement on our platform.

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized representative of a copyright owner and believe that any content on Chickitik infringes your copyrights, you may submit a notice in accordance with the procedure described below.

Important: Submitting a knowingly false notice of copyright infringement may result in legal liability, including damages, court costs, and attorney fees under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

If you believe that your copyrights have been infringed on the Chickitik platform, you may send a written notice to our designated DMCA agent.

The notice must be sent via email to: info@itcoti.fi with the subject line "DMCA Notice".

Alternatively, you may send the notice by mail to our legal address (specified in the "Contact Information" section below).

For your notice to be valid and for us to take appropriate action, it must contain all the information specified in the next section "Notice Requirements".

Incomplete or improperly formatted notices may not be processed.

We strive to process all valid DMCA notices within 1-3 business days of receipt.

In accordance with Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, a valid copyright infringement notice must include the following information:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If a single notification covers multiple copyrighted works, you may provide a representative list of such works.

3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled. This information must be sufficiently specific to allow us to locate that material. Please provide a direct link (URL) to the page containing the allegedly infringing content.

4. Your contact information sufficient for us to contact you, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

6. 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 owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

All notices should be written in English, Russian, or Finnish to expedite processing.

Upon receiving a valid copyright infringement notice in accordance with the DMCA, we will take the following actions:

1. Promptly verify that the notice complies with the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA.

2. If the notice is valid, we will remove or disable access to the material specified in the notice within 1-3 business days.

3. We will send a notification to the user who posted the disputed content (if such user can be identified), informing them that the material has been removed or access to it has been disabled.

4. We will retain a copy of the notice in our records.

5. If we receive a valid counter-notice from the user, we will follow the procedure described in the "Counter-Notification Procedure" section.

It is important to note that Chickitik acts as a platform for content distribution and cannot verify the authenticity of copyright claims for all posted materials. We rely on the good faith of claimants when filing infringement notices.

In some cases, we may request additional information or clarification before making a decision to remove content.

If you believe that your content was mistakenly removed or disabled as a result of a copyright infringement notice, you have the right to submit a counter-notification.

A counter-notification is a legal process provided by the DMCA that allows you to dispute the removal of content.

Before submitting a counter-notification, ensure that:

• You have a good faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.

• You are the legitimate copyright holder of the removed content, or you have permission to use it.

• You understand the legal consequences of submitting a counter-notification.

To submit a counter-notification, send a written notice to our designated DMCA agent at: info@itcoti.fi with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice".

Important: Submitting a knowingly false counter-notification may result in legal liability, including damages, court costs, and attorney fees.

In accordance with Section 512(g)(3) of the DMCA, a valid counter-notification must include the following information:

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. Please provide the URL of the removed content.

3. 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.

4. Your full name, address, and telephone number.

5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or for the District of Helsinki, Finland, if your address is outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the infringement notice, or an agent of such person.

6. Your email address for contact.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who filed the original infringement notice.

If the original claimant does not file a lawsuit in court within 10-14 business days, we may restore the removed content or re-enable access to it.

In accordance with DMCA requirements, Chickitik implements a policy of terminating access for users who are repeat copyright infringers.

A repeat infringer is considered to be a user or content owner about whom:

• Two or more valid copyright infringement notices have been received within any 12-month period.

• Two or more knowingly false infringement notices or counter-notices have been submitted.

When determining whether a user is a repeat infringer, we consider:

• The number of valid DMCA notices received.

• The severity of the infringements.

• The user's actions in response to previous notices.

• The presence of valid counter-notices.

If a user is found to be a repeat infringer, we may take the following actions:

• Temporary suspension of platform access.

• Permanent termination of platform access.

• Removal of all user content.

The decision to take action against repeat infringers is made based on all circumstances of the case and may vary depending on the specific situation.

Chickitik provides the DMCA procedure in accordance with applicable law and in good faith. However, we are not liable for:

• Any losses or damages arising from the removal or disabling of access to content pursuant to a valid DMCA notice.

• Any losses or damages arising from the restoration of content pursuant to a valid counter-notice.

• Actions or inactions of third parties, including claimants or users.

• Delays in processing notices or counter-notices.

• Inability to remove all infringing content immediately.

Chickitik reserves the right to:

• Modify this policy at any time without prior notice.

• Remove any content at our sole discretion, regardless of whether a DMCA notice has been received.

• Terminate or suspend any user's access to the platform for any reason.

• Refuse to process notices or counter-notices that do not meet DMCA requirements.

The information and procedures described in this policy are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. If you require legal advice, please consult a qualified attorney.

In accordance with Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents facts in a notice or counter-notice is liable for any damages resulting from such misrepresentation.

Submitting a knowingly false copyright infringement notice may result in:

• Civil liability for damages, including court costs and attorney fees.

• Criminal liability for perjury.

• Blocking or termination of access to the Chickitik platform.

Submitting a knowingly false counter-notice may also result in similar liability.

Before submitting a notice or counter-notice, please ensure that:

• You have a good faith basis for filing the notice.

• All information provided in the notice is accurate and truthful.

• You understand the legal consequences of filing a false notice.

• If necessary, you have consulted with an attorney.
