IP and DMCA Policy

1. Scope

This Policy explains how to report alleged copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property infringement involving ShortURL.bot short links, QR codes, hosted pages, forms, domains, uploaded assets, or customer content.

2. Copyright Notices

To submit a copyright notice, provide:

• Your name, organization if applicable, mailing address, phone number, and email address.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
• The ShortURL.bot URL, short link, hosted page, form, QR code destination, or other specific location of the allegedly infringing material.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury where applicable, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

3. Counter-Notices

If your content was removed or disabled because of a copyright complaint and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice with your contact information, the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury where applicable that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, your consent to appropriate jurisdiction where required, and your physical or electronic signature.

4. Trademark and Other IP Complaints

For trademark, impersonation, domain-name, or other IP complaints, include the rights you own, registration numbers where applicable, the specific ShortURL.bot URL or domain at issue, why you believe it is infringing or misleading, and proof that you are authorized to act.

5. Repeat Infringers and Abuse

We may disable links, remove or restrict content, suspend accounts, revoke API keys, disable domains, and terminate repeat infringers or users who submit abusive, fraudulent, or materially incomplete notices. False notices or counter-notices may create legal liability.

6. Designated Agent for Copyright Notices

In addition to Canada's notice-and-notice regime under the Copyright Act, we have designated the following agent to receive notifications of alleged copyright infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512):

• Designated Agent: Copyright Compliance Manager
• Organization: ShortURL.bot

For convenience you may also submit copyright notices through the Help Center. Include enough detail for us to identify the exact link, page, form, domain, or account. We may forward notices and counter-notices to the affected customer and to upstream providers as required by law.
