If you believe that content on the PoolStake Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our Designated Copyright Agent. To be effective, your notice must include all of the following:

2. A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered, a representative list.
3. A description of the material you claim is infringing and its location on the Platform (including a URL or sufficient description).
4. Your contact information: address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, 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.

We will review and respond to valid DMCA notices within ten (10) business days.

If you believe that content removed from the Platform in response to a DMCA notice was mistakenly removed or is not infringing, you may submit a counter-notice. To be effective, your counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed content and its location on the Platform before it was removed.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, PoolStake will forward it to the original complaining party and may restore the removed content within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days, unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order.

PoolStake has a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights. An account may be designated as a repeat infringer upon receiving three (3) or more valid DMCA takedown notices relating to content associated with that account.

PoolStake reserves the right to terminate accounts for a single egregious infringement without prior notice.
