Copyright Policy

Genysis IQ LLC (“Genysis IQ,” “Disband,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property of others and expects people who use Disband to do the same. This policy explains how to report material on Disband that you believe infringes your copyright, how people whose material is removed can respond, and what happens to accounts that infringe repeatedly. It forms part of our Terms of Service.

We respond to notices that meet the requirements of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512. We also accept copyright complaints under the laws of other countries, including notices under the EU Digital Services Act, through the same channel.

1. Before You Send a Notice

• Only the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf, may send a notice.
• Consider whether the use may be permitted, for example under a license, as fair use, or under another exception or limitation in the law that applies.
• A notice is a legal document. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.
• This policy covers copyright. For trademark, impersonation, or privacy complaints, see Section 7 or use the Report option in the app.

2. How to Send a Copyright Notice

Send your notice to our designated Copyright Agent:

Copyright Agent Genysis IQ LLC 10524 Moss Park Rd, Suite 204-653 Orlando, Florida 32832 United States Phone: +1 (321) 351-9810 Email: legal@disband.dev (subject line: “Copyright Notice”)

Your notice must include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed or, if a single notice covers multiple works, a representative list of those works;
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and that you want removed or disabled, with information reasonably sufficient for us to find it. A link to each message, file, profile, or space is best. Otherwise, describe where it appears precisely enough for us to locate it, such as the space and channel, the account that posted it, and the date;
4. Your name, postal address, telephone number, and 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; and
6. A statement that the information in the notice 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.

If a notice is missing information we need, we will try to contact you to complete it. We may not be able to act on a notice until it is complete.

3. What Happens After a Notice

We review each notice and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the material promptly. We will let you know what we decided.

Where we can, we tell the person who posted the material that it was removed and why. We may give them a copy of the notice, including your name and contact information, so that they can respond or send a counter-notice.

4. Counter-Notices

If material you posted was removed because of a copyright notice and you believe it was removed because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to our Copyright Agent at the address in Section 2. Your counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before it was removed or 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 to be removed or disabled; and
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Genysis IQ may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or that person’s agent.

When we receive a valid counter-notice, we will promptly send a copy to the person who sent the original notice and tell them that we will restore the material in 10 business days. We will restore the material, or allow you to post it again where it cannot be restored, no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice, unless our Copyright Agent first receives notice that the complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material.

Your counter-notice, including your name and contact information, will be shared with the person who sent the original notice. Knowingly and materially misrepresenting that material was removed by mistake can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

5. Repeat Infringers

In appropriate circumstances, we disable or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyrights or other intellectual property rights.

Each time material is removed in response to a valid notice, the account that posted it receives a copyright strike, which counts toward that account’s standing. A strike is withdrawn if the material is restored after a counter-notice or if the notice is withdrawn. Accounts that repeatedly receive copyright strikes will be permanently suspended. We may act sooner where infringement is flagrant or an account exists mainly to infringe, and we may also remove spaces that are used mainly to share infringing material.

6. Spaces and Moderators

Space owners and moderators can remove content in their own spaces, but they cannot act on copyright notices for us. Send copyright notices to our Copyright Agent as described in Section 2.

7. Trademarks and Other Rights

To report a trademark infringement, email legal@disband.dev with your name and contact details, the trademark and its registration details, where it is used on Disband, and why the use is likely to cause confusion. We review trademark, impersonation, and other intellectual property complaints under our Terms of Service and applicable law.

8. Notices From Outside the United States

You can send copyright and other intellectual property complaints under the laws of any country to the address in Section 2, and we will assess them under the law that applies. A notice that includes the information listed in Section 2 will usually give us what we need. People in the European Union and the United Kingdom can find more about reporting illegal content on our EU and UK Information page.

9. Disband’s Own Materials

Disband’s software, designs, artwork, and other original materials are protected by copyright and other laws and are owned by or licensed to Genysis IQ LLC. See our Legal Information page and End User License Agreement.
