DMCA Policy

Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

Effective Date: January 18, 2025

This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy (“Policy”) applies to the nauticotech.com website (“Website” or “Service”) and any of its related cybersecurity, virtualization, web development, and software integration services (collectively, “Services”) offered by Nautico Solutions LTD (“Nautico Solutions LTD,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Policy outlines how we handle copyright infringement notifications and how you (“you” or “your”) may submit a copyright infringement complaint.

We respect intellectual property rights and expect our users to do the same. This Policy complies with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998, as updated for 2024, and adheres to international copyright regulations. The full text of the DMCA can be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website.

1. What to Consider Before Submitting a Copyright Complaint

Before submitting a copyright complaint, please evaluate whether the material in question qualifies as fair use under copyright law. Fair use permits limited use of copyrighted content for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research without the copyright holder’s permission.

Important Notice: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly misrepresenting copyright infringement may result in legal liability, including damages and attorneys’ fees. If you are unsure about infringement, we strongly recommend consulting a copyright attorney before filing a DMCA notification.

We may share copies of your notification or counter-notification with relevant third parties, including the alleged infringer, as required by law. If you are concerned about personal information disclosure, consider having a legal representative submit your complaint.

2. How to Submit a Copyright Infringement Notification

If you are a copyright owner or a designated agent and believe that content on our Website or Services infringes your copyright, you may file a DMCA takedown request by providing the following information:

Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are affected, submit a representative list.
Identification of the infringing material, including URLs or specific locations on our Website where the allegedly infringing material is found.
Your contact information, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is unauthorized by the copyright owner, agent, or law.
A statement under penalty of perjury that the information in your Notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is sufficient).

Email your Notification to: [email protected]

Once we receive a valid DMCA complaint, we will remove or restrict access to the allegedly infringing content and notify the affected user, allowing them to file a counter-notification.

We reserve the right not to act if your complaint does not comply with the DMCA requirements.

3. How to File a Counter-Notification

If you receive a DMCA takedown notification, it means that the material described has been removed or restricted. If you believe the removal was an error or that you have the legal right to use the material, you may file a DMCA counter-notification in accordance with Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the U.S. Copyright Act.

Your counter-notification must include:

Identification of the removed material and the location where it appeared before removal.
Your contact information, including full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification.
A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court where you reside (or, if outside the U.S., to the jurisdiction of any relevant legal authority where the service provider operates).
Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is sufficient).

Email your Counter-Notification to: [email protected]

If the original complainant does not file a court action within 10 business days, we may restore the material or cease blocking access.

We reserve the right not to act on counter-notifications that fail to meet DMCA or legal requirements.

4. Compliance with International Copyright Laws

As of 2024, the DMCA operates alongside international copyright laws, including:

EU Copyright Directive
UK Copyright Law
Canada’s Copyright Modernization Act
Australia’s Copyright Amendment Act

Users outside the United States are protected under regional copyright laws. If you are filing a copyright claim or counter-notification from outside the U.S., consult local legal guidance to ensure compliance with your country’s regulations.

5. Changes and Amendments

We reserve the right to modify this DMCA Policy at any time. Updates will be reflected by a revised “Effective Date” at the top of this document.

Your continued use of the Website and Services after modifications will constitute acceptance of the revised terms.
We may notify users of major changes via email or platform notifications.
