FanPort DMCA Policy

Definitions

• "DMCA" means the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512.
• "Infringing Material" refers to any User Content alleged to infringe the copyright of a third party.
• "Notice" refers to a formal notification of claimed copyright infringement in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c).
• "Counter-Notice" refers to a formal response disputing a takedown request in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

1. Notice and Takedown Procedure

Although FanPort is not a U.S.-based entity, it voluntarily complies with the DMCA's Notice and Takedown provisions to protect the rights of copyright holders.

Copyright owners or their authorised agents may submit a DMCA Notice by sending an email to dmca@fanport.co including all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorised agent;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed;
3. Identification of the infringing material and sufficient information to locate it on the platform;
4. Contact details of the complaining party (address, phone number, and email address);
5. A good faith statement that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
6. A statement under penalty of perjury that the information in the notification is accurate, and that the notifying party is authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

FanPort may remove or disable access to content that is subject to a valid Notice. In appropriate circumstances, we may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers without notice.

All DMCA Notices must be drafted and submitted in English. We are unable to guarantee processing of correspondence received in any other language.

2. FanPort Response to a Valid Notice

Upon receiving a valid DMCA Notice, FanPort will:

1. Remove or disable access to the alleged Infringing Material;
2. Notify the User responsible for the content;
3. Inform the User of their right to submit a Counter-Notice.

FanPort reserves the right to remove content at its discretion without prior notice and without liability to the User. Repeat infringers may be subject to permanent account suspension.

3. Counter-Notification Procedure

Users who believe their content was removed due to mistake or misidentification may submit a Counter-Notice to dmca@fanport.co including:

1. A physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the removed material and its prior location on the platform;
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. Full name, address, phone number, and email address;
5. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of a U.S. Federal District Court (or a suitable court if the User resides outside the U.S.), and agreement to accept service of process from the original complainant.

FanPort will forward valid Counter-Notices to the original claimant. If no legal action is initiated within 10–14 business days, the content may be reinstated at our discretion.

4. Abuse and Penalties

Misuse of the DMCA process — including knowingly submitting false claims or Counter-Notices — may result in legal liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), and may also result in account sanctions under FanPort's Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.

FanPort will investigate any abuse of the DMCA notification process and may take appropriate action, including permanent removal of access to the Platform.
