Copyright Policy

⚠️This is a working draft, pending legal review. Text in brackets is a placeholder that has not been filled in yet, and nothing on this page should be treated as final until it is.

OVRSEE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, doing business as "bored."

We respect copyright and expect people who use bored. to do the same. This policy explains how to tell us about content on bored. that infringes your copyright, how someone can dispute a takedown, and what happens to accounts that infringe repeatedly. It works alongside Section 4 (content licence) and Section 5 (copyright and the DMCA) of our Terms of Service.

1. Our policy in short

If you own a copyright and believe someone has posted your work on bored. without permission, you can ask us to remove it by sending a notice that meets the requirements below. If your own content was removed because someone reported it, and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice. Accounts that repeatedly infringe copyright will be terminated.

2. How to send a takedown notice

Send your notice to our designated copyright agent (Section 6) by email. To be a valid notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)), it must include:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, if the notice covers multiple works, a representative list).
  3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (for example, a profile link, a post, or a description specific enough for us to find it).
  4. Your contact information — at minimum, an address, telephone number, or email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

A notice missing these elements may not be actionable under the DMCA, and we may ask you to correct and resubmit it.

3. What happens after we receive a valid notice

We will remove or disable access to the reported material, notify the person who posted it, and give them the opportunity to send a counter-notice as described below. We keep records of notices and the action we took in response.

4. Counter-notice — if your content was removed by mistake

If material you posted was removed in response to a copyright notice and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to our designated copyright agent. To be valid, it must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your judicial district (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which OVRSEE LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original takedown notice, or their agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complaining party. Unless that party informs us they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the person who posted the material, we may restore the material within 10 to 14 business days of receiving the counter-notice, as the DMCA allows.

5. Repeat infringers

We terminate the account of anyone who is the subject of three valid, unrebutted takedown notices within a 12-month period. We may also terminate an account for a pattern of infringement that falls short of that number, where the circumstances warrant it.

6. Designated agent

Notices and counter-notices under this policy should be sent to our designated copyright agent:

OVRSEE LLC, Attn: Copyright Agent copyright@boredmap.com

U.S. Copyright Office registration number: [COPYRIGHT AGENT REGISTRATION NUMBER].

7. False claims

Misrepresenting that material is infringing, or that its removal was a mistake, can expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), including for costs and attorneys' fees. Only send a notice or counter-notice if you believe, in good faith, that it is accurate.
