Introduction

CureOS ("we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), we have adopted this policy to address claims of copyright infringement on our platform, including our CureOS services, CureRING devices, mobile applications, websites, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

This DMCA Notification Policy outlines the procedures for copyright holders to submit takedown notices and for users to submit counter-notifications in response to takedown notices. We are committed to processing these notices promptly and fairly while protecting the rights of both copyright holders and our users.

DMCA Safe Harbor Provisions

CureOS qualifies for protection under the DMCA safe harbor provisions as a service provider. We comply with the DMCA by:

• Designating an agent to receive copyright infringement notifications
• Implementing a policy for terminating repeat infringers
• Not interfering with standard technical measures used to protect copyrighted works
• Responding appropriately to takedown notices and counter-notifications

Designated Copyright Agent

All DMCA takedown notices and counter-notifications must be sent to our designated Copyright Agent:

Notice Format

Your DMCA takedown notice should be formatted clearly and include all required elements. Here is a template you may use:

Our Response to Valid Takedown Notices

Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will:

1. Acknowledge Receipt - Send confirmation that we have received your notice within 2 business days
2. Review the Notice - Verify that the notice contains all required DMCA elements and assess whether the notice appears to be valid and complete
3. Remove or Disable Access - If the notice is valid, we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material (typically within 24-48 hours)
4. Notify the User - Inform the user who posted the material that it has been removed, provide them with a copy of the takedown notice, and explain the counter-notification process
5. Document the Action - Maintain records of all takedown notices and actions taken, and track repeat infringers for potential account termination

Counter-Notification Process

If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. This process is designed to restore legitimately posted content that was incorrectly removed.

Requirements for Counter-Notifications

Your counter-notification must include:

1. Identification of Material - Description of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where the material appeared before removal
2. Contact Information - Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
3. Consent to Jurisdiction - A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or Northern District of California if outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the takedown notice
4. Good Faith Statement - 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
5. Physical or Electronic Signature - Your physical signature or electronic signature

Counter-Notification Process

1. Submit Counter-Notification - Send your counter-notification to our designated Copyright Agent
2. Our Review - We will review your counter-notification for completeness and validity
3. Forward to Original Complainant - If valid, we will forward it to the person who submitted the original takedown notice
4. Waiting Period - We will wait 10-14 business days after forwarding the counter-notification
5. Restoration - If the original complainant does not file a court action seeking an injunction, we will restore the material

Repeat Infringer Policy

CureOS has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We consider the following factors when determining whether to terminate an account:

Factors Considered

• Number of Infringement Claims - Multiple valid DMCA takedown notices against the same user and pattern of infringing behavior over time
• Severity of Infringement - Commercial nature of the infringement, extent and scope of infringing activity, and impact on copyright holders
• User Response - Whether the user has submitted counter-notifications, user's cooperation with the DMCA process, and evidence of good faith efforts to comply with copyright law

Termination Process

1. Warning System
   • First offense: Warning notice and educational materials
   • Second offense: Temporary suspension and additional warning
   • Third offense: Account review for potential termination
2. Account Termination
   • Permanent termination of user account and access to Services
   • Removal of all user-generated content
   • Notification to the user of termination and reasons
3. Appeal Process
   • Users may appeal termination decisions
   • Appeals must include evidence that the infringement claims were invalid
   • We will review appeals and may reinstate accounts if appropriate

Misrepresentation and Abuse

Abuse Prevention

We take steps to prevent abuse of the DMCA process through notice verification, pattern recognition, and education and guidance for proper submissions.
