Comprehensive DMCA & Copyright Compliance Policy

1. Legal Identity & Scope

This DMCA & Copyright Compliance Policy (“Policy”) governs the copyright infringement handling procedures of URL SMMIZO, operated from:

URL SMMIZO
Ambah, Morena
Madhya Pradesh – 476111
India

URL SMMIZO operates as a digital link-shortening, real-time tracking, analytics monitoring, and customizable bio-page platform. We function strictly as an intermediary technical service provider.

This Policy must be read together with our Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, Disclaimer, and Cookie Policy. All policies operate collectively and are legally interdependent.

2. Recognition of International Copyright Standards

Although URL SMMIZO is based in India, we respect international copyright protection frameworks including:

• The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
• Indian Copyright Act, 1957
• WIPO Copyright Treaty
• Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works

We voluntarily implement notice-and-takedown procedures consistent with global best practices to protect intellectual property rights.

3. Nature of Platform & Safe Harbor Position

URL SMMIZO does not host, create, publish, or modify third-party content. Users independently generate shortened links that redirect to external websites.

We qualify as an intermediary platform and operate under safe harbor principles, meaning we are not directly liable for user-generated content provided that valid takedown procedures are followed.

4. User Intellectual Property Responsibility

Every registered or unregistered user is solely responsible for ensuring that the destination URL they shorten does not infringe:

• Copyrighted works
• Trademarks
• Patents
• Trade secrets
• Proprietary materials

The responsibility for obtaining licenses, permissions, or distribution rights lies entirely with the user.

5. Bio Page Intellectual Property Compliance

Users utilizing our customizable bio page feature must ensure that all images, logos, embedded media, and textual content used are legally authorized.

Any unauthorized reproduction, streaming, or distribution of protected works via bio pages may result in immediate takedown and account suspension.

6. Filing a Copyright Complaint

If you believe copyrighted material has been shared through a shortened link, you may submit a written complaint to: support@url.smmizo.com

The complaint must include:

• Full legal name and contact information
• Description of copyrighted work
• Exact shortened URL
• Statement of good faith belief
• Statement under penalty of perjury
• Signature (digital or physical)

Incomplete or anonymous complaints may not be processed.

7. Takedown Procedure

Upon receipt of a valid complaint, URL SMMIZO may:

• Disable the reported link
• Temporarily suspend the account
• Request clarification from user
• Permanently remove infringing material

Repeated violations may trigger enforcement under our Terms & Conditions and Refund Policy.

8. Repeat Infringer Policy

Users receiving multiple verified infringement notices may face:

• Permanent account termination
• Removal of all shortened URLs
• Loss of paid privileges without refund
• Restriction from future registration

No refunds shall be granted in cases involving copyright violations.

9. Counter-Notification Procedure

If a user believes that content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake, misidentification, or improper copyright claim, the user may submit a counter-notification.

The counter-notification must include:

• User’s full legal name and contact details
• Identification of the removed shortened URL
• Statement under penalty of perjury that removal was mistaken
• Consent to jurisdiction of Indian courts
• Digital or physical signature

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, URL SMMIZO may restore access unless the original complainant initiates legal proceedings.

10. Indemnification Obligation

Users agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless URL SMMIZO, its operator, affiliates, service providers, and representatives from any legal claims, damages, liabilities, losses, or expenses arising out of:

• Copyright infringement by user
• False DMCA notices
• Misuse of shortened links

This indemnification survives account termination.

We may cooperate with law enforcement authorities if required under applicable laws.

17. Severability & Entire Agreement
