DMCA
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of Policy
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Policy (“Policy”) explains how SexGranny.org (the “Website,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) addresses allegations of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512, et seq.) and, as applicable, other national or international copyright laws. Although SexGranny.org is operated from Panama, we recognize that many individuals and entities—especially content creators—rely on DMCA-like frameworks to protect their intellectual property rights. Therefore, we have voluntarily adopted the following notice-and-takedown procedures.
1.2 Nature of the Website
SexGranny.org is an adult-oriented platform that provides embedded (i.e., iFrame) content from third-party hosting services. We do not upload, store, or otherwise host the content on our own servers. Users or visitors who view content on SexGranny.org understand that such videos or images are physically hosted on third-party platforms, over which we have no control.
1.3 Commitment
We respect the intellectual property rights of owners and creators. If you believe that any content on our Website infringes upon your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please review this Policy and follow our Notice-and-Takedown procedures detailed below.
2. DMCA SAFE HARBOR & LIMITATIONS
2.1 Third-Party Embeds
Because we do not upload or host content (we only embed from external websites), SexGranny.org serves as a “service provider” or linking intermediary. Under the DMCA and analogous laws, certain safe harbor provisions and liability limitations may apply if we follow specific notice-and-takedown procedures.
2.2 No Control Over Third-Party Servers
We do not have direct ability to remove or alter content hosted on external sites. Upon receiving a valid copyright infringement claim regarding embedded content, we can:
- Disable, remove, or block the embedded link or iFrame from SexGranny.org, preventing further direct access to that material through our Website; but
- We cannot remove the infringing material from the original host server because it is outside our control.
2.3 Non-Waiver of Rights
SexGranny.org’s decision to follow the DMCA notice-and-takedown procedures is voluntary and does not constitute a waiver of any legal defenses or jurisdictional limitations we may have, including those relating to operation from Panama or other countries.
3. COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT PROCEDURE
3.1 Submitting a Proper DMCA Notice
If you believe your work has been copied or is otherwise infringing your copyright and made available on SexGranny.org (via embedded content), you must send a written DMCA takedown notice (a “Notification”) to our designated DMCA Agent at:
Email: [email protected]
Subject Line: “DMCA Notice – Copyright Infringement”
Your written DMCA Notification must include substantially the following information (per 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):
- Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright allegedly infringed (i.e., your signature or e-signature).
- Identification of the Work: A clear description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g., title, author, registration number, nature of the work).
- Location of Infringing Material: A description of where the alleged infringing material is located on SexGranny.org, including the exact URL or URLs of the specific page(s). Since we only embed content, please ensure your notice is specific enough (e.g., “Video embedded at [https://sexgranny.org/unique-url-here]”).
- Contact Information: Provide your full legal name, organization (if applicable), mailing address, telephone number, and a valid email address.
- Good Faith Belief Statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the complained-of material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- Accuracy & Authority Statement: A statement that the information in the notice 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.
3.2 Format & Language
Your Notification should be in English (preferable) or contain an English translation. We may disregard or delay processing notices not in English, or notices that omit the essential elements required by law.
3.3 Inadequate Notice
If your DMCA Notice does not meet the statutory requirements, we may be unable to process it. We will attempt, when feasible, to contact you or respond to let you know any additional information needed.
4. TAKEDOWN PROCEDURE
4.1 Initial Review
Upon receiving a valid and complete DMCA Notice, we will:
- Acknowledge receipt of your complaint via the email address you provided (if feasible).
- Evaluate the Notice to ensure it meets DMCA requirements.
- Investigate whether the identified embedded material indeed appears on our Website at the specified URL(s).
4.2 Disabling Access
If we determine that the material is reasonably likely to be infringing, we will proceed to:
- Disable, remove, or block the embedded link or iFrame from the relevant page on SexGranny.org.
- Attempt to notify the user, if any, who might have posted or submitted the embedded link, about the claim (hereafter, the “Alleged Infringer” or “Uploader”).
4.3 No Influence Over Original Host
Please note that we cannot remove or alter the original file on the third-party server. If you also wish that the content be removed entirely from the internet, you will have to contact or notify the relevant hosting provider or website.
5. COUNTER-NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE
5.1 Right to Submit a Counter-Notice
If you are an Uploader whose embedded link or content was removed or disabled due to a DMCA Notice, you have the right to submit a Counter-Notification (or “Counter-Notice”) under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) if you believe that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
5.2 Content of a Counter-Notice
Your Counter-Notification must be in writing and provided to our DMCA Agent at [email protected]. It must include:
- A physical or electronic signature of the alleged infringer or an authorized representative.
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the specific location (URL) at which the material appeared before it was removed/disabled.
- 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.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of (i) the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which you reside (if in the U.S.), or (ii) any judicial district where the service provider (SexGranny.org) may be found (if you reside outside the U.S.); and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA Notice or an agent of such person.
5.3 Response to Counter-Notice
When we receive a valid Counter-Notice, we will:
- Forward a copy of the Counter-Notice to the original complaining party.
- Inform that complaining party that we will re-enable or restore the disabled content on our Website, absent any lawsuit filed within ten (10) business days from their receipt of the Counter-Notice.
- If the complaining party does not notify us of a court action within the 10 business-day period, we reserve the right (but have no obligation) to reinstate the previously removed or disabled embed link at our discretion.
5.4 Limitations
Just as with the Takedown process, we can only restore the embedded link or iFrame on SexGranny.org. We have no control over the underlying content on third-party servers.
6. REPEAT INFRINGERS & ACCOUNT TERMINATION
6.1 Policy for Repeat Infringers
In accordance with the DMCA and analogous laws, we maintain a policy that provides for the termination of user accounts or posting privileges in appropriate circumstances for users who repeatedly infringe or repeatedly submit links leading to infringing materials. Depending on severity, we may issue warnings or directly terminate accounts without prior notice.
6.2 Threshold for Repetition
A “repeat infringer” may be defined as any user who has had content removed or disabled more than once due to copyright infringement or has failed to comply with or respond to multiple valid infringement notices in a manner that indicates repeated noncompliance. We reserve the right to interpret “repeated infringement” at our sole discretion, based on the facts and circumstances of each case.
7. FALSE CLAIMS & MISREPRESENTATIONS
7.1 Perjury Penalties
Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly misrepresents that material or activity is infringing or was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability for damages. This may include damages caused by removal of content, costs of litigation, and attorneys’ fees.
7.2 Good Faith
All DMCA Notices or Counter-Notices must be submitted in good faith. We reserve the right to pursue legal remedies or contact law enforcement in appropriate circumstances involving fraudulent or maliciously false claims.
8. PRIVACY & DATA SHARING
8.1 Transmission to Parties
As part of the DMCA takedown process, we may be required to share certain information contained in your notice or counter-notice (such as your name, contact information, legal claims, etc.) with the other party (the person uploading or complaining), to facilitate communication or settlement.
8.2 Retention
We will retain DMCA-related correspondence and records as needed to demonstrate compliance or non-compliance with the law, or as necessary for legal defense.
8.3 International Considerations
If you or the alleged infringer are located outside the United States, you understand and agree that we may store and process your personal data in countries where we or our service providers are located, which may be outside your own jurisdiction. We will use reasonable means to protect your information, but no data transfer is entirely without risk.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY & JURISDICTION
9.1 Disclaimer of Liability
By adopting these DMCA procedures, SexGranny.org does not assume liability for any claims or damages arising out of or related to any alleged copyright infringement on third-party servers. Our responsibilities extend only to removing or disabling the embed link on our Website upon valid notice, as described above.
9.2 Jurisdiction
SexGranny.org operates from Panama. While we adhere to DMCA-like procedures, any claims, suits, or disputes related to this Policy, or your use of the Website, may be governed by the laws of Panama, unless otherwise specified in our Terms of Use. Filing a DMCA Notice with us does not automatically confer personal jurisdiction over us in any U.S. court if not otherwise established by law.
10. MODIFICATIONS TO THIS POLICY
We reserve the right to modify, update, or amend this DMCA Policy at any time without prior notice. Any revised version will be posted on the Website and becomes effective upon posting. Your continued use of SexGranny.org after such changes will constitute your acknowledgment and acceptance of the new Policy.
11. CONTACT INFORMATION
If you have any questions, concerns, or require clarification regarding this DMCA Policy, you may contact us at:
