At LevelFlow, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and it is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. This DMCA Policy outlines the steps we take when notified of potential copyright violations and provides instructions for copyright owners who believe their content has been infringed on our website.
What Is the DMCA?
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that provides guidelines for online service providers, such as websites, to handle claims of copyright infringement. The DMCA allows copyright owners to request the removal of infringing content and protects service providers from liability if they follow the DMCA's requirements.
How to File a DMCA Notice
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used on LevelFlow in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may submit a DMCA notice to our designated copyright agent. Please provide the following information in your notice:
-
Identification of the copyrighted work: Clearly describe the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are involved, you can provide a representative list.
-
Identification of the infringing material: Provide specific details about the content you claim is infringing, including the URL(s) or other identifying information that will help us locate the material on our site.
-
Your contact information: Include your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address so that we can reach you if necessary.
-
A statement of good faith belief: Include 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.
-
A statement of accuracy and authority: Include a statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
-
Your electronic or physical signature: Sign your notice electronically or physically.

Notification to the User: We will notify the user who posted the content that has been removed or disabled, providing them with a copy of the DMCA notice.
-
Right to Submit a Counter-Notice: The user has the right to submit a counter-notice if they believe the removal was mistaken or that they have authorization to use the content. (Details on how to file a counter-notice are provided below.)
How to File a Counter-Notice
If your content has been removed due to a DMCA notice and you believe this removal was in error or that you have the legal right to use the material, you may file a counter-notice. Your counter-notice must include the following information:
-
Identification of the removed material: Provide details of the material that was removed, including the URL(s) where the content was previously accessible.
-
A statement under penalty of perjury: State that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material.
-
Your contact information: Include your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
-
Consent to jurisdiction: State that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or the jurisdiction of the court in which the service provider is located if you are outside the United States) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or their agent.
-
Your electronic or physical signature: Sign your counter-notice electronically or physically.

What Happens After We Receive a Counter-Notice?
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will:
-
Forward the Counter-Notice: Send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complainant who filed the DMCA notice.
-
Restore the Content: Unless the copyright owner files a court action seeking an injunction against the user within 10 business days, we will restore the removed content to our website.
Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our discretion, limit access to our website or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is repeat infringement.
Limitations of Liability
We make every effort to ensure that our DMCA policy and procedures are followed accurately and promptly. However, LevelFlow cannot be held responsible for any damages, costs, or losses resulting from the removal of content in response to a DMCA notice or from the restoration of content following a counter-notice.
Changes to This DMCA Policy
We may update this DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the law, or our services. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our procedures for handling copyright infringement claims.
