DMCA & Copyright Policy

1. Designated Copyright Agent Contact Information

Notifications of claimed infringement must be submitted in writing to our Designated DMCA Copyright Agent:

Note: The Designated Agent information above is registered with the United States Copyright Office Directory of Service Provider Agents pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2).

2. Required Elements of a Valid Takedown Notice

To ensure compliance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notification of claimed infringement must include all of the following elements:

1. Physical or Electronic Signature: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the Work: Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works at a single site are covered by a single notification, a representative list).
3. Identification of Infringing Material: Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (specifically, the URL of the multitrack session in The Mixing Vault).
4. Contact Information: Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your full legal name, physical address, telephone number, and email address.
5. Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. Perjury & Accuracy Statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

3. Takedown Procedure & Expeditious Removal

The Mixing Vault does not directly host multi-gigabyte audio binary files; rather, it functions as an indexed exchange linking to user-provided external storage (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive).

Upon receipt of a legally compliant notification satisfying § 512(c)(3), The Mixing Vault will expeditiously remove or disable access to the contested listing, delete associated links from our db, and notify the user who submitted the session.

4. Counter-Notification Procedure (17 U.S.C. § 512(g))

If a user believes that material they uploaded was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, they may file a written Counter-Notification with our Designated Agent containing:

• The user's physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal;
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• The user's name, address, and telephone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which their address is located.
