DMCA Takedown Procedure

Bingecraft hosts user-generated content in the forum, theory threads, comments, and uploaded images. We respect copyright. If you believe something on Bingecraft infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act on behalf of, the procedure below complies with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and is how we'll respond.

This page also tells our users how to file a counter-notice if they believe content was removed in error.

Send takedown notices and counter-notices to:

Bingecraft DMCA Agent
c/o Flaresoft Solutions
dmca@bingecraft.app

Email is the preferred channel — we monitor it daily. Postal submissions are accepted; ask via email for the current mailing address.

Per § 512(c)(3), a notice must contain all of the following or we may not be able to act on it:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive copyright that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g. title + a representative URL of the original).
3. Identification of the material that is allegedly infringing, specific enough that we can locate it. The simplest format is the full Bingecraft URL of the post, theory, or attachment.
4. Your contact information — name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
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.

1. We acknowledge receipt within one business day.
2. We disable access to the identified content (typically by archiving the post; see our Terms of Service for the archive vs. hard-delete distinction). We notify the user who posted it and forward a redacted copy of the notice.
3. For repeat infringers, we suspend the user account per our posted policy.
4. We keep a log of every takedown for audit purposes; the log is not public, but counsel can subpoena it.

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice. Per § 512(g)(3), a counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which the material appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, plus 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.) any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the takedown notice or their agent.

Send counter-notices to the same agent address. We'll forward your counter-notice to the original notice-sender. If they don't file a court action seeking a restraining order against you within 10–14 business days, we'll restore the content.

We terminate accounts of users we determine to be repeat infringers. “Repeat infringer” here means a user against whom we have processed three or more valid takedown notices over the lifetime of the account. We use judgment for edge cases (e.g. counter-noticed claims that resolved in the user's favor don't count).

Filing a knowingly false takedown notice is itself a violation of § 512(f) and exposes the filer to liability for damages including costs and attorney's fees. We may forward suspect notices to counsel for further action.

We'll update the effective date at the top of this page any time we change the procedure. Material changes are also surfaced in-app for users with active content.
