Copyright infringement notices (DMCA)

In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, Turf follows the notice-and-takedown procedure below.

Designated agent

Copyright Agent for Turf 6801 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33141, United States +55 11 99992-7444 team@turfyeah.com (subject line: "DMCA Notice")

Registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory (dmca.copyright.gov).

What a notice must contain

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a notice must include:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act for the owner of the copyright.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers several works.
  3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it (include the specific URL or message link).
  4. Your contact information: name, address, telephone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the copyright owner.

We act on valid notices promptly and may tell the affected user who sent the notice.

Counter-notices

If your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the designated agent (subject line: "DMCA Counter-Notice") containing: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and telephone number, with consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which Turf may be found) and acceptance of service of process from the person who sent the notice. We forward counter-notices to the original claimant. Unless the claimant tells us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we restore the content between 10 and 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

An account that receives three valid takedown notices within 12 months may be terminated. We may act sooner, or differently, where the law requires or the circumstances warrant.

Goodwill takedown for images created by Turf

Any rights holder, authorized representative or licensee may ask us to review an image we created as a debate card illustration or landing page visual by emailing team@turfyeah.com with a description of the image and the basis for the request. No formal legal process is required. We review the image and, where appropriate, remove it. Voluntary removal is not an admission of infringement.

Governing law and disputes

This policy is governed by, and disputes are resolved under, sections 7.1 and 7.2 of our Terms of Service.
