Copyright & DMCA Policy

BookModels (Model Traffic LLC) respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA,” 17 U.S.C. § 512), we respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement of material hosted on the Platform, and we terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

1. Reporting infringement (takedown notice)

If you believe material on the Platform infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, you may send a written notice to our designated agent (below) or use the form in the next section. To be effective, your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works);
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed, with information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it — for example, the URL of the profile, image, or page on the Platform;
4. Information reasonably sufficient to let us contact you, such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

When we receive a valid notice, we will remove or disable access to the material and take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted it.

2. Submit a takedown notice

You can submit your notice using the form below, or send it by email to our designated agent at dmca@bookmodels.com. The checkboxes correspond to the statements required by the DMCA; both are required for your notice to be effective.

3. Counter-notification

If your material was removed or disabled and you believe this was the result of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notice to our designated agent. To be effective, a counter-notification must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or disabled;
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; and
4. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which BookModels may be found), and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person’s agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the removed material in 10 to 14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

4. Repeat-infringer policy

It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, to disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright or other intellectual-property rights. This policy is part of, and is enforced under, our Terms of Use.

5. Designated copyright agent

Notices and counter-notices should be directed to our designated agent:

6. Misrepresentations

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. If you are not sure whether material is protected by copyright or whether your intended use is lawful, you may wish to consult an attorney before submitting a notice or counter-notice.
