Reporting Claimed Infringement

If you believe that content on the Service infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act on behalf of, you may send a written notice to our Designated Agent at the address above.

To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include substantially all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

  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, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single site are covered by a single notification, 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, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material — for example, the business listing name, post URL, screenshot, or in-app location.

  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an 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.

Incomplete notices may not be actionable. If your notice does not substantially comply with the requirements above, we may not be able to act on it.

A note before you send

Section 512(f) of the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Before submitting a notice, please consider whether the use in question may be authorized, licensed, or a fair use. If you are unsure, you may wish to consult an attorney.

What Happens After We Receive a Notice

Upon receipt of a notice that substantially complies with § 512(c)(3), we will:

  1. Remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice, acting expeditiously.
  2. Take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material that it has been removed or disabled.
  3. Provide that user with a copy of the notice, which may include your name and contact information.
  4. Inform that user of their right to submit a counter-notification.

We may, at our discretion, note the removal publicly on the Service or leave a placeholder indicating that content was removed in response to a copyright claim.

Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our Designated Agent.

To be effective, a counter-notification must include substantially all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):

  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 access was disabled.

  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.

  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and 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 the United States, the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or an agent of that person.

Send counter-notifications to DMCA@kehilla.app or the physical address above.

What happens next

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the person who submitted the original notice. That person then has 10 business days to notify us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

If we do not receive such notice, we may restore the removed material in 10 to 14 business days following receipt of your counter-notification, at our discretion.

Section 512(f) applies to counter-notifications as well. Knowingly materially misrepresenting that material was removed by mistake or misidentification may expose you to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Kehilla has adopted and reasonably implements a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

How we apply this policy:

  • We record each instance in which content posted by a user is removed in response to a DMCA notice that substantially complies with § 512(c)(3). We refer to each such instance as a strike.
  • A strike is withdrawn if the user submits a valid counter-notification and the material is restored, or if the notice is retracted by the complaining party.
  • Upon a user's first strike, we will notify the user and provide a copy of the notice.
  • Upon a user's second strike, we will notify the user that a further strike may result in termination.
  • Upon a user's third strike, we will terminate the user's account and any associated business listings.

We may terminate an account at any point — including on a first strike — where the circumstances warrant, such as where the infringement is willful, egregious, or part of a pattern of misuse.

Where a terminated account is associated with a paid business listing, termination is governed by the Terms of Service. Termination for repeat infringement does not entitle the account holder to a refund of fees already paid.

We do not permit terminated users to create new accounts. Attempting to circumvent a termination by creating a new account, using a different email address, or listing the same business under a different name is a violation of our Terms of Service and may result in immediate termination of the new account.
