DMCA Takedown Policy

Audibin LLC ("Audibin") respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512. This policy describes the procedures for submitting copyright infringement notices and counter-notices, and explains Audibin's repeat infringer policy.

Audibin qualifies for the safe harbor protections of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) as an online service provider that hosts user-uploaded content. To maintain this safe harbor, Audibin has designated a DMCA agent and follows the procedures described below.

1. Designated DMCA Agent

Audibin's Designated Copyright Agent for receiving notices of claimed infringement is:

This information has been submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office's online DMCA Agent Directory.

2. Submitting a Notice of Copyright Infringement (Takedown Notice)

If you believe that content on the Audibin platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a written takedown notice to our Designated DMCA Agent. To be valid under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works);
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information sufficient to permit Audibin to locate the material (e.g., the URL or specific location on the platform);
• Your contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and email address;
• 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;
• 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.

Notices that do not comply with these requirements may not receive a response. Submitting a false or fraudulent takedown notice may expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and other applicable laws.

3. Audibin's Response to Valid Takedown Notices

Upon receipt of a valid and complete takedown notice, Audibin will:

• Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content;
• Notify the Artist who uploaded the content that it has been removed and provide a copy of the takedown notice (with any personal contact information of the complainant redacted);
• Inform the Artist of their right to submit a counter-notice as described in Section 4.

4. Counter-Notice Procedure

If you are an Artist and believe that content you uploaded was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to Audibin's Designated DMCA Agent. To be valid, your counter-notice must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before removal;
• 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;
• Your name, address, and telephone number;
• 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 outside the U.S., the District of Colorado), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original takedown notice.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, Audibin will forward a copy to the original complainant and may restore the removed content within 10 to 14 business days, unless the complainant provides notice that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringing activity.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

It is Audibin's policy to terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright. Audibin tracks DMCA notices received in connection with each user account. A user whose account generates multiple valid DMCA takedown notices — where the notices are not successfully disputed by counter-notice — may have their Artist account suspended or permanently terminated, at Audibin's sole discretion.

Audibin reserves the right to make termination decisions on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the number and nature of infringement notices, the validity of any counter-notices submitted, and any other relevant circumstances.

6. Misuse of the DMCA Process

Audibin takes the integrity of the DMCA process seriously. Knowingly submitting a materially false takedown notice or counter-notice may expose you to civil liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), including liability for damages, costs, and attorneys' fees. Audibin reserves the right to pursue claims against parties who abuse the takedown process.

7. Copyright Infringement Outside the DMCA

The DMCA procedure is intended solely to address claims of copyright infringement. For other legal concerns, including trademark infringement, defamation, or privacy violations, please contact Audibin at help@audibin.com.

8. Updates to This Policy

Audibin may update this DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law or platform practices. The current version will always be posted on the Audibin website.
