DMCA / Copyright Policy

DMCA notices and counter-notices should be sent to:

• Email: metic.apps@gmail.com (subject line: "DMCA Notice" or "DMCA Counter-Notice")
• Postal: Metic Apps, c/o Mert Verdi, Izmir, Turkey

Registration with the U.S. Copyright Office Designated Agent Directory is pending. Until registered, the contact details above remain effective for service.

A valid takedown notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or a representative list).
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material with sufficient information to locate it.
4. Your contact information: name, postal address, telephone, and email.
5. A statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner.

Upon receipt of a substantially compliant notice, we will:

• Promptly remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice.
• Take reasonable steps to notify the affected user.
• Record the takedown in our internal copyright log.

If you believe material was removed by mistake, you may file a counter-notice including:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed material and its previous location.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, telephone, and consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the judicial district in which you are located (or, if outside the U.S., any district in which we may be found), and consent to accept service of process.

Unless the original sender notifies us within 10–14 business days that it has filed a court action, we may restore the material.

An account that is the subject of three (3) or more separate substantiated takedown notices within a rolling 12-month period will be considered a repeat infringer and may be terminated, with forfeiture of MRC balance, virtual items, and pending reward requests (consistent with 17 U.S.C. §512(i)).

Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, costs, and attorneys' fees.

For takedown requests under EU law (Art. 17 Directive (EU) 2019/790, the e-Commerce Directive notice-and-action provisions, or DSA Art. 16 (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065)), use the contact details above and indicate the applicable EU instrument in the subject line.

We reject abusive or pretextual takedown notices designed to suppress lawful speech or competition. We may decline to act on patently abusive notices pending further substantiation.
