DMCA

1. Purpose of This DMCA Policy

This policy provides a process for copyright owners and authorized representatives to notify Auraminimalist about content on our website that they believe infringes their copyright rights.

Our goal is to provide a clear and practical method for identifying potentially infringing material while allowing sufficient information for the complaint to be reviewed appropriately.

This policy is intended to address copyright-related complaints. Other intellectual property concerns, including certain trademark or brand-related disputes, may be handled under our separate Intellectual Property Claim policy.

2. What Is Copyright Infringement?

Copyright generally protects original creative works, subject to applicable law and relevant limitations. Examples may include photographs, illustrations, written material, artwork, graphics, videos, and other original creative works.

A copyright concern may arise when protected material is reproduced, distributed, displayed, modified, or otherwise used without appropriate authorization and without a valid legal basis for that use.

Not every use of similar or related material constitutes copyright infringement. Applicable law may provide exceptions, limitations, licenses, permissions, or other legal rights that affect whether a particular use is lawful.

3. Who May Submit a DMCA Notice

A DMCA notice should generally be submitted by the copyright owner or an individual or organization legally authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

If you are submitting a notice on behalf of another rights holder, please clearly identify the rights holder and explain your authority to act on their behalf.

Notices submitted by individuals who do not own or have authority over the relevant copyright may require additional information or may not qualify for action under this policy.

4. Required Elements of a DMCA Notice

To help us review a copyright complaint, a DMCA notice should contain sufficient information to identify the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material, and the person or organization submitting the notice.

5. Identification of the Copyrighted Work

Please provide a sufficiently detailed description of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed.

Depending on the nature of the work, useful information may include the title of the work, the original publication location, a description of the photograph or artwork, the copyright registration information if applicable, or a link to an authorized version of the work.

If multiple copyrighted works are involved, please identify each work clearly enough for our team to understand the scope of the complaint.

6. Identification of the Allegedly Infringing Material

A DMCA notice should identify the specific material that you believe infringes your copyright.

Whenever possible, provide the complete URL of the relevant page, product listing, image, text, or other content. If the allegedly infringing material appears in multiple locations, please provide each relevant URL.

Screenshots may be included as supporting evidence, but they should not replace specific location information when the relevant URL can be provided.

7. Contact Information

A copyright complaint should include sufficient contact information to allow Auraminimalist to communicate with the complaining party if clarification or additional documentation is required.

• Full name.
• Email address.
• Telephone number, where appropriate.
• Business or organization name, if applicable.
• Information identifying the copyright owner, if different from the claimant.

Please use contact information that is accurate and regularly monitored.

8. Good-Faith Statement

A DMCA notice should include a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material described in the notice is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.

9. Accuracy and Authority Statement

A DMCA notice should also include a statement confirming that the information contained in the notice is accurate and, under applicable law, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

This requirement helps distinguish legitimate copyright complaints from notices submitted by individuals who do not have authority to enforce the relevant rights.

10. Signature Requirement

The notice should include a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or the authorized representative submitting the complaint.

An electronic signature or other legally recognized method of confirming the identity and authority of the complaining party may be used where appropriate.

11. How to Submit a DMCA Notice

DMCA notices concerning material appearing on Auraminimalist should be submitted using the contact information provided at the end of this policy.

Providing complete information helps us evaluate the complaint and determine the appropriate next step.

12. Review of DMCA Notices

After receiving a copyright complaint, Auraminimalist may review the notice to determine whether it contains sufficient information to identify the relevant copyrighted work and allegedly infringing material.

We may contact the submitting party when additional information is necessary to understand the complaint or verify the basis of the claim.

Receipt of a notice does not automatically mean that the reported material infringes copyright. The circumstances of each complaint may need to be evaluated individually.

13. Possible Actions After a Notice

Depending on the circumstances, the information provided, and applicable legal requirements, Auraminimalist may take appropriate action concerning the reported material.

• Review the reported material and the information provided.
• Request additional information from the copyright claimant.
• Contact the relevant content provider or responsible party.
• Temporarily restrict access to identified material where appropriate.
• Remove or disable access to material where warranted.
• Decline to take action where the notice is incomplete or unsupported.
• Take other appropriate measures based on the circumstances.

14. Counter-Notification

If material has been removed or access has been restricted following a copyright complaint, the affected party may have rights to dispute the claim or submit a counter-notification where applicable under the DMCA and other relevant law.

A counter-notification should identify the material that was removed or disabled and explain why the affected party believes the material was removed or restricted as a result of mistake or misidentification.

Depending on the circumstances, additional statements, contact information, consent to applicable jurisdiction, and a signature may be required under applicable law.

15. Review of Counter-Notifications

If a valid counter-notification is received, Auraminimalist may review the information and determine the appropriate next steps in accordance with applicable law.

A counter-notification does not automatically guarantee restoration of the material. Additional legal requirements or circumstances may affect whether and when material can be restored.

Where appropriate, the original claimant may be informed of the counter-notification so that the matter can proceed according to applicable legal procedures.

16. Copyright Ownership Documentation

Auraminimalist may request additional documentation where necessary to understand the claimant's ownership or authorization.

Depending on the circumstances, relevant documentation may include copyright registration information, original publication records, licensing information, evidence of authorship, or other materials that reasonably support the claimant's position.

Claimants should avoid submitting unnecessary confidential information when supporting a copyright complaint.

17. Third-Party Content

Some content appearing on Auraminimalist may be supplied by manufacturers, suppliers, licensors, contractors, business partners, or other third parties.

If you believe that third-party content displayed on our website infringes your copyright, please identify the specific content and provide information demonstrating your rights or authorization.

We may contact the relevant provider or business partner when necessary to investigate the complaint.

18. Product Images and Copyright

Product photography, illustrations, graphics, and other visual materials may be protected by copyright. If you believe that a photograph or other visual work appearing on an Auraminimalist product page belongs to you and has been used without authorization, please identify the specific image and provide information regarding your ownership.

When submitting a claim involving an image, please provide the URL where the image appears and, where possible, a reference to an authorized version of the original work.

19. Written Content and Copyright

Original product descriptions, articles, policy content, graphics, and other written materials may also be protected by copyright.

If you believe that original written content owned by you has been reproduced on Auraminimalist without authorization, please identify the original work and the specific website content that you believe copies or reproduces it.

20. Copyright Versus Trademark Complaints

This DMCA Policy is primarily intended for copyright-related complaints.

If your concern involves a trademark, brand name, logo, trade dress, or another type of intellectual property rather than copyright, please provide the relevant information through our Intellectual Property Claim process.

Correctly identifying the type of intellectual property involved can help ensure that the complaint is reviewed under the appropriate process.

21. False or Misleading Notices

Copyright reporting procedures should be used responsibly. Submitting knowingly false, misleading, fraudulent, or abusive copyright notices may have legal consequences.

A claimant should carefully evaluate the relevant facts and legal rights before submitting a notice.

Auraminimalist reserves the right to take appropriate action concerning repeated or demonstrably abusive submissions.

22. Information Handling

Information submitted through a copyright complaint may be reviewed by Auraminimalist employees, representatives, professional advisers, service providers, or other parties when reasonably necessary to evaluate and respond to the complaint.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, legal process, court order, or another legitimate legal obligation.

Claimants should submit only information that is reasonably necessary to establish and support the copyright complaint.

23. No Admission of Infringement

Receiving a DMCA notice does not constitute an admission by Auraminimalist that the reported material infringes copyright.

Likewise, taking temporary action concerning reported material does not necessarily mean that Auraminimalist has determined that infringement has occurred.

We reserve all rights, defenses, and remedies available under applicable law.

24. Reservation of Rights

Auraminimalist reserves the right to request additional information, investigate reported material, communicate with relevant parties, and take appropriate action based on the circumstances of each copyright complaint.

Nothing in this policy is intended to waive any rights or remedies available to Auraminimalist under applicable law or to prevent us from responding to lawful requests from courts, government authorities, or other authorized bodies.

25. Changes to This DMCA Policy

Auraminimalist may update or modify this DMCA Policy when our website, business operations, legal obligations, or intellectual property procedures change.

Any revised version will be made available through the website. Visitors and rights holders are encouraged to review this page periodically for the current reporting process.
