DMCA Notice & Takedown Policy and Procedures
The system (“SYSTEM”) supporting this website qualifies as a “Service Provider” under 17 U.S.C. § 512(k)(1) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). Accordingly, it is entitled to the protections provided by the DMCA, commonly referred to as the “safe harbor” provisions. We respect the intellectual property of others, and we require our users to do the same. Accordingly, we observe and comply with the DMCA, and have adopted the following Notice and Takedown Policy regarding claims of copyright infringement by our customers, subscribers, or users.
Notice of Claimed Infringement
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been infringed upon, please provide our Designated Copyright Agent (identified below) with the following information in a written notification, in compliance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
- Identification of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
- Identification of the material that you claim is infringing and the location of such material on the SYSTEM (preferably including specific URLs associated with the material);
- Your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address;
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Important Notice: Please do not send any other inquiries or information to our Designated Agent. Absent prior express permission, our Designated Agent is not authorized to accept or waive service of formal legal process, and any agency relationship beyond that required to accept valid DMCA Notices is expressly disclaimed.
Abuse Notification:
Abusing the DMCA Notice procedures set forth above, or misrepresenting facts in a DMCA Notice or Counter-Notification, can result in legal liability for damages, court costs, and attorneys’ fees under federal law. See 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). These Notice and Takedown Procedures only apply to claims of copyright infringement by copyright holders and their agents, not to any other kind of abuse, infringement, or legal claim. We will investigate and take action against anyone abusing the DMCA notification or counter-notification procedure. Please ensure that you meet all legal qualifications before submitting a DMCA Notice to our Designated Agent.
Takedown Procedure
Upon receipt of a valid notification of claimed copyright infringement, the SYSTEM will follow the “notification and takedown” procedure outlined in 17 U.S.C. § 512. The SYSTEM reserves the right to disable access to or remove any material or activity accessible on or from the SYSTEM that is claimed to be infringing or based on facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent.
Termination of Repeat Infringers: It is the firm policy of the SYSTEM to terminate the accounts of repeat copyright infringers, where appropriate. The SYSTEM will act expeditiously to remove access to any material that infringes on another’s copyright, following the procedure set forth in 17 U.S.C. § 512 of the DMCA.
If the notice does not fully comply with the requirements of § 512, but contains sufficient information for the SYSTEM to identify the material or activity claimed to be infringing, the SYSTEM will attempt to contact the complaining party or take other reasonable steps to assist the party in complying with the notice requirements.
DMCA Counter-Notification Procedure
If a user believes that a notice of copyright infringement was submitted in error, they may file a counter-notification in compliance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2)&(3). The counter-notification must include the following:
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and its location before removal (preferably including specific URLs);
- A statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled due to mistake or misidentification;
- The user’s contact information, including physical address, telephone number, and email address;
- A statement that the user consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in the judicial district where the user is located, or if outside the United States, any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the user will accept service of process from the person who provided the original Notice or their agent.
The counter-notification must be signed and sent to:
Copyright Agent
contact@binapples.com
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless we receive notice within 10-14 days that the complainant has filed a legal action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we will replace or cease disabling access to the disputed material.
Service Provider Customers or Subscribers
In cases where the alleged infringer is operating as a “Service Provider” within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 512(k)(1), we request that any DMCA Notices relating to alleged infringement by third-party users, customers, or subscribers of such service providers be submitted directly to the DMCA Agent designated by the service provider instead of the SYSTEM.
Modifications to Policy
The SYSTEM reserves the right to modify, alter, or add to this policy at any time. All affected persons should regularly check back to stay current on any changes.
