Copyright & DMCA Policy
How copyright concerns, takedown requests, counter-notices, and repeat infringement reports are intended to be handled.
This policy is a draft that requires review and approval by qualified legal counsel before public launch. It is provided for general information only and does not constitute legal advice. RYHA Technologies may update it from time to time, and only a formally approved published version should be treated as binding.
Respect for Rights and Scope
Users must have the rights and permissions needed for content, code, data, designs, trademarks, and other material they submit or direct the service to use. RYHA does not determine that generated or customer-provided material is non-infringing. Customers must review outputs, third-party sources, open-source obligations, attribution, and intended publication. This draft process does not decide ownership or waive any party’s rights.
Copyright Complaint Information
A copyright report should identify the protected work, the allegedly infringing material and enough location information to find it, the reporting party’s contact details, a good-faith statement, a statement of accuracy and authority under the applicable process, and a physical or electronic signature. Reports should be sent to legal@ryha.dev without unrelated personal information or confidential credentials. RYHA may request missing information and should preserve an auditable decision record.
Review, Removal, Counter-Notice, and Restoration
RYHA may restrict access to identified material while reviewing a sufficiently complete report, taking account of applicable law, contractual rights, fair-use or similar exceptions, customer context, and risk. Where a counter-notice process applies, the final policy must state its required contents, forwarding process, restoration timing, consent and jurisdiction statements, and when court-action evidence prevents restoration. Those details must be approved for the actual legal entity and offered countries rather than copied into this draft.
Repeat Infringement, Misrepresentation, and Agent Registration
The approved policy should address repeat or serious infringement, account restrictions, appeals, record retention, and reports made in bad faith. False or materially misleading notices can create legal consequences. U.S. Copyright Office guidance states that a qualifying service provider seeking the relevant DMCA safe harbor must both publish current designated-agent contact information and register matching information with the Office. RYHA must verify applicability, complete and maintain any required registration, and publish the approved agent details before claiming that safe-harbor process. This page is not a designated-agent registration and does not claim that one is currently effective.
