DMCA Policy

1. Introduction

Wicked Smart HQ respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), we will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed using our Service that are reported to our designated copyright agent identified below.

This policy applies to all content hosted on or made available through the Wicked Smart HQ platform, including but not limited to recipes, images, and other content shared through our community library.

2. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that content available on or through Wicked Smart HQ infringes your copyright, please submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent at hello@wickedsmarthq.com with the subject line “DMCA Takedown Notice.” Your notice must include the following:

• Identification of the copyrighted work: A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
• Identification of the infringing material: A description of the material you claim is infringing, including the URL or other specific location on the Service where the material can be found. Please provide sufficient detail to enable us to locate the material.
• Your contact information: Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• Good faith statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• Accuracy statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will act promptly to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and will notify the user who posted the content.

3. Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter- notification to our designated agent at hello@wickedsmarthq.com with the subject line “DMCA Counter-Notification.” Your counter-notification must include the following:

• Identification of removed material: A description of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled.
• Statement under penalty of perjury: 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
• Consent to jurisdiction: 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 outside the United States, any judicial district in which Wicked Smart HQ may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
• Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party. If the original complainant does not file a court action within ten (10) business days, we may restore the removed content.

Please be aware that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. If you are unsure whether the material you are reporting is in fact infringing, you may wish to contact an attorney before filing a notification.
