DMCA Notices

Chimesong respects intellectual property rights and responds to properly formed notices under Title 17 of the United States Code, §512 (the Digital Millennium Copyright Act). If you own a copyright and believe Chimesong is hosting an infringing use of your work, this page tells you how to notify us — and how the user whose post is affected can send a counter-notice.

Designated agent

Under DMCA §512(c)(2), Chimesong's designated agent for takedown notices is:

Esharive Joshua Akpevweoghene Delta State, Nigeria Electronic address: klarkkrampus@gmail.com

If we incorporate a company, we will register the agent formally with the U.S. Copyright Office and update this page.

What a valid takedown notice must include

Per §512(c)(3), a notice must be a signed writing (electronic signature acceptable) containing:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner (or their authorised agent).
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or a representative list if there are multiple.
3. Identification of the material on Chimesong you claim is infringing — precise enough that we can locate it. Please provide the full URL of the post or comment.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement, made in good faith, that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised 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 authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Send the notice to klarkkrampus@gmail.com. Notices missing any of these six elements will be returned as incomplete under §512(c)(3)(B).

What happens after a valid notice

• The disputed material will be removed or disabled expeditiously.
• The affected user will be notified by email with a copy of the notice (with your address optionally redacted on request) and given the option to file a counter-notice.
• If the affected user files a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to you. Under §512(g), if you do not file suit within 10 to 14 business days, the material may be restored.

Counter-notice (for users whose content was removed)

If your post was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you can file a counter-notice under §512(g)(3). It must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal (URL is ideal).
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.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the district in which your address is located (or, if outside the U.S., any judicial district in which Chimesong is found), and that you will accept service of process from the original notifier.

Send counter-notices to the same address: klarkkrampus@gmail.com.

Repeat infringers

Under §512(i), Chimesong terminates the accounts of users who are the subject of repeated DMCA notices — typically three substantiated notices within twelve months. Bad-faith notices (e.g. attempting to silence criticism unrelated to copyright) can result in the notifier being blocked from filing further notices and may expose them to liability under §512(f).

Non-US jurisdictions

If you are outside the United States, you can still use this process, and Chimesong will treat your notice in the same manner. If your country has its own copyright takedown regime (e.g. UK CDPA 1988, EU Directive 2019/790), you may reference that framework in your notice.
