DMCA Policy

1. Copyright Statement

All original content on the Irreva platform — including but not limited to the website design, tool interfaces, user experience flows, editorial articles, comparison guides, how-to content, blog posts, illustrations, iconography, and source code — is the intellectual property of Irreva and its operators, protected by applicable copyright law including the Copyright Act and international copyright treaties.

Third-party open-source libraries incorporated into Irreva tools are used in strict compliance with their respective licences (MIT, Apache 2.0, and others as applicable). A list of acknowledged open-source components appears in our Terms of Service. Use of open-source components does not affect Irreva's ownership of its original platform design, content, and tooling.

Irreva does not host, store, distribute, or serve user-uploaded files. All file processing occurs entirely client-side within the user's browser. Irreva does not cache, retain, or transmit user files, meaning the platform does not function as a traditional file-hosting service. Nonetheless, Irreva is committed to respecting intellectual property rights in all content it directly publishes, and we take copyright compliance seriously.

2. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner — or an agent authorised to act on their behalf — and you believe that content appearing on the Irreva platform infringes a copyright you hold, you may submit a written takedown notification (“DMCA Notice”) to our designated agent. We act expeditiously on valid notices received under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.

To be legally effective, a DMCA Notice must contain all of the following elements. Incomplete notices may not be acted upon, and submitting a materially false notice carries legal liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f):

1. Identification of the copyrighted work: Describe the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notice, provide a representative list. Where possible, include a URL to an authoritative source of the original work.
2. Identification of the infringing material: Provide a description of the specific content you claim is infringing and its precise location on the Irreva website. A direct URL to the allegedly infringing page is strongly preferred and will allow us to act more quickly.
3. Your contact information: Your full legal name (or the legal name of the organisation you represent), postal address, telephone number, and email address. We will use this to communicate with you about the notice.
4. Statement of good faith: A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law (including the doctrine of fair use).
5. Statement of accuracy and authorisation: A statement that the information in your notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
6. Signature: A physical signature or a valid electronic signature of the person authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner. Typed names in an email may constitute a valid electronic signature depending on jurisdiction.

Submit your DMCA notice to our designated agent:

We aim to acknowledge receipt of all DMCA notices within 3 business days and to act on confirmed valid notices within 10 business days.

3. Counter-Notification Process

If you believe that content was removed or disabled in response to a DMCA notice in error — for example, because the notice was factually incorrect, the material was licensed, or the use qualifies as fair use, commentary, or other lawful use — you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

A valid counter-notification must include all of the following elements:

1. Identification of the removed material: A specific description of the material that was removed or disabled and its location (URL) on the Irreva website immediately before removal.
2. Statement under penalty of perjury: A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or access to it was disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
3. Your contact information: Your full name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
4. Consent to jurisdiction: A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your postal address is located, or — if your address is outside the United States — any judicial district in which Irreva may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA notice or that person's authorised agent.
5. Signature: Your physical or valid electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a complete, valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party and inform them that the removed material may be restored or access re-enabled within 10 to 14 business days from our receipt of the counter-notification — unless the original complaining party notifies us that they have filed an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to restrain that restoration.

Send counter-notifications to our designated agent at [email protected] with subject line: DMCA Counter-Notification — [Your Name].

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

Consistent with the requirements of the DMCA, Irreva maintains and enforces a policy of terminating or restricting access for users, contributors, or integration partners who are found to be repeat copyright infringers. A repeat infringer is a person or entity against whom two or more valid DMCA takedown notices have been received and acted upon by Irreva within a rolling 12-month period.

As Irreva does not currently operate public user accounts, this policy primarily applies to content contributors, third-party integration partners, and any future user-generated content systems. If and when user accounts are introduced, repeat infringers will be subject to account suspension or permanent termination at Irreva's sole discretion.

We reserve the right to terminate or restrict access at any point — after a single infringement in cases of egregious or deliberate infringement — regardless of whether two notices have been received.

5. Abuse of the DMCA Process

Filing a fraudulent, knowingly false, or bad-faith DMCA takedown notice is a serious legal matter. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing — or, in the case of a counter-notification, that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification — may be held liable for any resulting damages, including costs and legal fees incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or the service provider.

Irreva will not act on DMCA notices that it believes, on reasonable grounds, to be submitted in bad faith, for competitive harassment, or to suppress lawful criticism, commentary, or news reporting. We reserve the right to seek all available legal remedies against parties that abuse our DMCA process, including claims for damages, injunctive relief, and legal costs.

If you receive a DMCA notice that you believe is abusive or fraudulent, or if you have concerns about a notice you have received, please contact us at [email protected].

6. Non-DMCA Copyright Enquiries

Not every copyright question requires a formal DMCA takedown notice. If you have a question or concern about content on Irreva that does not rise to the level of a formal legal complaint, we encourage you to reach out informally first. We are responsive to licensing enquiries, content attribution questions, requests for permission to use Irreva content, and questions about the scope of fair use in relation to our content.

Non-formal copyright enquiries can be directed to [email protected] or submitted via our contact page. We aim to respond to all informal copyright enquiries within 5 business days.
