Screenixx DMCA / Copyright Policy

Why We Have This Policy

Screenixx is built around the creative efforts of independent filmmakers and rights holders. Every piece of content on our platform represents a story, a livelihood and the investment of a production team. We therefore respect the intellectual‑property rights of others and expect our users, partners and third‑party contributors to do the same.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) establishes a “notice‑and‑takedown” system. Online service providers like Screenixx can qualify for limited liability—often referred to as safe‑harbor protection —only if they designate a copyright agent and remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material when a valid notice is received. This policy tells you how to notify us of alleged copyright infringement, how to submit a counter‑notice if your material has been removed, and how we handle repeat infringers.

Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are the rights holder (or authorized to act on behalf of one) and believe that material on the Screenixx platform infringes your copyright, you must provide a written DMCA notice that substantially includes all of the following information. Failure to include all required elements may render your notice invalid.

1. Your Signature – A physical or electronic signature of the owner of the copyright (or the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner). Typed names in an email or form field count as electronic signatures.
2. Identification of theWork – A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If your notice covers multiple works, provide a representative list.
3. Identification of the Material – Describe the specific material or link you believe is infringing and information sufficient for us to locate it (e.g., the exact URL or title on Screenixx).
4. Contact Information – Your name (and company affiliation, if applicable), mailing address, telephone number and email address so we can reach you.
5. Good‑Faith Statement – A statement that you have a good‑faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. Accuracy Statement – A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Where and How to Send Your DMCA Notice

You must send your completed notice to our designated copyright agent. We provide several ways to deliver a notice because different rights holders have different preferences. Please include “DMCA Infringement Notification” in the subject line of your email or the first line of your letter to ensure your notice is processed promptly.

Designated Agent:
Screenixx Legal Department
(DMCA Agent)
6060 Center Drive, 10th Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90045
Email: legal@screenixx.com

Please use the email address only for infringement notices and related correspondence. We will ignore unrelated inquiries sent to this address.

What Happens After We Receive a Valid Notice

Once we receive a complete DMCA notice, Screenixx will verify that it satisfies the statutory requirements. If valid, we will act swiftly to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. We will also notify the user who posted the content, providing a copy of the complaint and instructions on how to file a counter‑notice. Knowingly submitting false claims can expose the complaining party to civil damages and attorneys’ fees, so we take misrepresentations seriously.

Submitting a DMCA Counter‑Notice

If your content has been removed from Screenixx because of a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or that you have permission to use the material (for example, through a license or fair use), you have the right to submita counter‑notice. Your counter‑notice must include thefollowing:

1. Your Signature – Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the Material – A description of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. Statement of Good Faith – 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.
4. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process – Your name, address, telephone number and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in your district (or, if you are outside the U.S., to any judicial district where Screenixx may be found) and will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

Send your counter‑notice to Screenixx’s designated agent using the contact details provided above. When we receive a valid counter‑notice, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original DMCA 3

notice. If we do not receive notice from the original complainant that they have filed court action within ten (10) business days after we forward your counter‑notice, we may, at our discretion, restore the removed material.

Repeat Infringer Policy

Screenixx takes copyright infringement seriously and will not tolerate repeat violators on our platform. We maintain a record of DMCA notices and counter‑notices and make a good‑faith effort to identify users who repeatedly infringe the rights of others. While we reserve broad discretion in determining what constitutes a “repeat infringer,” as a general rule we will consider a user a repeat infringer if we have received three or more valid DMCA notices against that user within a 12‑month period. When we determine someone is a repeat infringer, Screenixx will terminate that user’s access and/or account. Even after termination, we may pursue all available remedies at law or equity.

If your account is terminated for copyright infringement, you must not attempt to create a new account under your own or any other name. Any attempt to circumvent an account termination constitutes a violation of this policy and may expose you to further liability.

Misuse of the DMCA Process

Deliberately misrepresenting that material infringes your copyright (or that removed material is lawful) can have serious consequences. United States law provides significant penalties—including monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and possible criminal charges—for knowingly submitting false DMCA notices or counter‑notices. Screenixx reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a false claim of infringement or false counter‑notice.

Modifications and Forward‑Looking Statement

Screenixx may modify this DMCA/Copyright Policy at any time to reflect changes in the law, evolving best practices or changes to our platform. The Last Updated date will appear at the top of this page, and continued use of Screenixx following a change signifies acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to check this policy regularly.

We are committed to building a sustainable platform where independent creators thrive. Enforcing a robust copyright policy protects the creative ecosystem and ensures that artists retain control over their work. As technology evolves—whether through blockchain based rights management, automated content recognition or new licensing models—we will continue to update our systems and policies to stay ahead of infringement tactics and to empower rights holders. Taking copyright seriously today enables the Screenixx community to grow responsibly and foster new opportunities for storytellers tomorrow.
