Our Commitment to Intellectual Property Rights

Machinence Ltd. respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect our users to do the same. We prohibit users from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting on this website or by use of any of our services any materials that violate another party’s intellectual property rights.

It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who may repeatedly infringe or violate the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of any party.

1. DMCA and UK Copyright Law Compliance

This Copyright Policy complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of the United States and the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 of the United Kingdom. We take copyright infringement seriously and respond promptly to valid notices of alleged infringement.

Notice: This policy applies to all content uploaded, posted, or shared through Machinence’s services, including websites, online stores, social media posts, blog content, images, and any other materials created or published using our platform.

1. Signature – An electronic or physical signature of the person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest.
2. Description of Copyrighted Work – A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed.
3. Location of Infringing Material – A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the website, with enough detail that we may find it on the website (including specific URLs if possible).

5. Good Faith Statement – Your statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law.

4. Counter-Notification Process

If you believe that content you posted was wrongly removed or disabled in response to a copyright notice, you may file a counter-notification with our Copyright Agent.

4.1 Counter-Notification Requirements:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and its location before removal
• 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
• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or the courts of England and Wales if outside the United States)
• A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notification or their agent

What Happens After Filing: Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within 10-14 business days, we may restore the removed content at our discretion.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and UK copyright law, Machinence has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also limit access or terminate accounts of any users who infringe intellectual property rights, whether or not there is repeat infringement. Factors we consider include the number of valid infringement notices received, the severity of the infringement, and whether the user made a good faith effort to comply with copyright law.
