DMCA Copyright Policy

Last Updated: April 29, 2025

At SportyPie (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”), we respect the intellectual property rights of others and are committed to complying with the principles of copyright law, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This policy outlines our procedures for addressing alleged copyright infringement on our website.

Our Commitment to Copyright

We strive to ensure that all content published on SportyPie is either our original work, used with permission, or falls within the scope of fair use. We expect our users and contributors to do the same.

Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content on SportyPie infringes upon your copyrights, we ask that you notify us in writing. To be effective, your notification must include the following information, as required by the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed: Please provide specific details about the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed upon. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, please provide a representative list of such works.
  2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material: Please provide a direct URL (web address) or other specific information that allows us to precisely identify the allegedly infringing content on SportyPie.  
  3. Your contact information: Please include your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address so that we can contact you regarding your notification.
  4. 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.  
  5. 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.  
  6. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

Our Procedure Upon Receiving a Notification of Claimed Infringement

Once we receive a valid and properly submitted notification of alleged copyright infringement, our procedures will typically include the following:

  1. Review and Assessment: We will carefully review your notification to ensure that it meets the requirements outlined above.
  2. Removal or Disabling of Access: If we determine, in our sole discretion, that the reported material may be infringing, we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content.
  3. Notification to the Alleged Infringer (if possible): We may attempt to notify the user or contributor who posted the allegedly infringing material, providing them with a copy of your notification and information about our actions.
  4. Repeat Infringer Policy: While the DMCA is a US law, we aim to discourage repeat infringements of copyright. Depending on the circumstances, we may take appropriate action, which could include terminating the accounts of repeat offenders (if applicable to user-generated content, which is not the primary function of SportyPie at this time).

Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that material you posted on SportyPie was removed or access to it was disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our designated DMCA Agent. To be effective, your counter-notification must include the following information: 

  1. 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 access to it was disabled. Please provide the specific URL or other identifying information.  
  2. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  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. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.  
  5. Your physical or electronic signature.  

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we may forward it to the party who submitted the original DMCA notification. The DMCA allows the complaining party to then seek a court order to restrain you from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity. If we do not receive notice that such a court order has been sought within ten (10) business days after forwarding your counter-notification, we may, in our sole discretion, reinstate the removed material or cease disabling access to it.

Please Note: Filing a false notification of claimed infringement or a counter-notification may have legal consequences.
