Copyright Policy

To report infringement: email [email protected] with "Copyright Notice" in the subject line, including everything listed below. We review complete notices within five business days.

This policy covers inbloomsound.com. Our separate creator-page product has its own identical process at inbl.link/legal/copyright.

1. USER CONTENT ON OUR SERVICES

Parts of our Services let users submit content — competition and battle entries, community posts, profile material, and links. That content is uploaded by users, not by us. We do not review it before it appears and we cannot verify who owns what. We respect copyright and we act on valid notices.

2. SENDING A COPYRIGHT NOTICE

Your notice must include all six of the following, or we cannot act on it:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorized to act for them. Typing your full name at the end of the email counts.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed. A representative list is fine if several works are covered.
3. Identification of the material you want removed, with the full URL so we can find it.
4. Your contact details: 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 that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

3. DESIGNATED AGENT

Our designated agent for receiving notices of claimed infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act is the Copyright Agent, Logiciels Inbloom, at [email protected]. Our agent's details are also on file with the United States Copyright Office.

4. WHAT WE DO WHEN WE RECEIVE ONE

We check the notice is complete and tell you if anything is missing. For a complete notice we disable access to the material, tell the user what was removed and why, give them a copy of the notice and an explanation of how to counter-notify, and record the action against that account.

Where the complaint concerns a user in Canada, we may instead forward your notice to the account holder under Canada's notice-and-notice regime in the Copyright Act, which requires us to forward valid notices rather than remove content automatically.

5. COUNTER-NOTICE

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake — you hold a licence, you own the work, the sample is cleared, or the use is fair dealing or fair use — send a counter-notice to the same address with "Counter-Notice" in the subject. It must include your signature; identification of the material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and telephone number, with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court where you live, or if you are outside the United States, of any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service from the person who sent the original notice.

We forward counter-notices to the complainant. If they do not tell us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material.

6. REPEAT INFRINGERS

We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. A first valid notice means the content is disabled and one strike recorded. A second means a second strike and a formal warning. A third means the account is terminated and the person may not open a new one. Strikes are withdrawn if the notice is retracted or a counter-notice resolves in the user's favour, and expire after 12 months with no further valid notices. We may terminate immediately where the infringement is blatant.

7. MISUSE OF THIS PROCESS

Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages, costs, and legal fees under section 512(f) of the DMCA. We may refuse to act on notices from senders who repeatedly file bad-faith complaints.

8. COMPLAINTS THAT ARE NOT ABOUT COPYRIGHT

For impersonation, trademark issues, harassment, or illegal content, email [email protected] with "Report" in the subject.

9. CONTACT
