Last Updated: August 24, 2026

Velryne respects the intellectual property rights of copyright owners and expects users, service providers, and other parties interacting with our website to do the same.

This DMCA Copyright Policy explains how copyright owners or their authorized representatives may report material appearing on our website that they believe infringes copyright, how we review copyright notices, and how affected parties may submit a counter-notification where applicable.

This policy applies to copyright claims concerning content appearing on or accessible through the Velryne website.

Summary

1. Copyright Commitment

Velryne respects copyrights and other intellectual property rights.

We do not knowingly intend to publish, display, distribute, or otherwise use copyrighted material without appropriate authorization where authorization is legally required.

Copyright may protect original works including:

• Photographs
• Product photography
• Illustrations
• Graphics
• Artwork
• Written content
• Product descriptions
• Videos
• Website content
• Original designs
• Other qualifying creative works

If you believe copyrighted material appearing on our website infringes your rights, you may submit a copyright infringement notice using the procedure described below.

2. Copyright Contact

Copyright infringement notices may be sent to:

Recommended email subject:

DMCA Copyright Notice – [Copyright Owner Name]

Please provide complete and accurate information so that we can identify and review the material at issue.

3. Who May Submit a Copyright Notice

A copyright notice should be submitted by:

• The copyright owner; or
• A person legally authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

If you submit a notice on behalf of another individual, company, or organization, you should have authority to represent that copyright owner.

We may request reasonable evidence of authorization where appropriate.

4. Requirements for a Copyright Infringement Notice

A copyright notice intended to comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) should include the information required by law.

Your notice should contain all of the following:

A. Signature

Provide a physical or electronic signature of:

• The copyright owner; or
• A person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Typing your full legal name at the end of an electronic notice may serve as an electronic signature where legally sufficient.

B. Identification of the Copyrighted Work

Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.

If the notice concerns multiple copyrighted works at a single online location, you may provide a representative list where permitted by law.

Information may include:

• Title of the work
• Description of the work
• Copyright registration number, if applicable
• Original publication location
• Original publication URL
• Original photograph or file
• Other information sufficient to identify the protected work

C. Identification of the Allegedly Infringing Material

Identify the material that you believe infringes your copyright and provide information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it.

Please include:

• Exact Velryne page URL
• Product page URL, if applicable
• Description of the disputed material
• Screenshot where useful
• Identification of the specific image, text, graphic, or other content involved

A general statement that the entire website is infringing without identifying the relevant material may not provide sufficient information for us to locate and review the content.

D. Your Contact Information

Provide information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you, including:

• Full legal name
• Company or organization, if applicable
• Mailing address
• Telephone number, if available
• Email address

E. Good-Faith Statement

Your notice should include 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
• The copyright owner's agent
• Applicable law

F. Accuracy and Authority Statement

Your notice should state that:

• The information in the notification is accurate; and
• Under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

5. Example Structure of a Copyright Notice

A copyright notice may contain information in the following format:

6. Where to Send a Copyright Notice

Send the completed notice to:

For email submissions, we recommend using the subject:

DMCA Copyright Notice – [Copyright Owner Name]

7. Supporting Evidence

Although copyright registration is not always required to submit a notice, supporting information can help us understand and evaluate the claim.

Where available, you may provide:

• Copyright registration information
• Original photographs
• Original files
• Publication records
• Creation records
• Licensing information
• Screenshots
• Links to the original work
• Documentation showing ownership
• Documentation establishing authority to represent the rights holder

Please avoid sending unnecessary confidential information.

8. What Happens After We Receive a Notice

After receiving a sufficiently complete copyright notice, we may:

• Review the information in the notice.
• Identify the disputed material.
• Review available ownership and authorization information.
• Request clarification where reasonably necessary.
• Remove or disable access to disputed content where appropriate.
• Notify an affected content provider where applicable.
• Review any valid counter-notification received.
• Take other action required or permitted by applicable law.

Our response will depend on the specific circumstances of the claim.

9. Incomplete Notices

A notice that does not provide legally required or reasonably sufficient information may prevent us from identifying or evaluating the claim.

Examples of incomplete notices include notices that do not identify:

• The copyrighted work
• The allegedly infringing material
• The applicable Velryne URL
• The claimant
• Contact information
• Required good-faith statements
• Required authority and accuracy statements

We may request missing information before taking further action.

10. Removal or Restriction of Content

When we determine that action is appropriate, we may:

• Remove a photograph
• Remove written content
• Remove a graphic
• Disable access to content
• Modify or replace disputed material
• Remove a product listing
• Temporarily restrict material while a matter is reviewed

The action taken will depend on the nature of the claim and the available information.

11. Removal Is Not an Admission of Liability

Removal or restriction of content in response to a copyright complaint does not necessarily constitute:

• An admission of infringement
• An admission of liability
• A final legal determination
• An admission that the claimant owns all asserted rights

We may temporarily remove or restrict material while a dispute is being evaluated.

12. Counter-Notification

If material you provided was removed or disabled because of a copyright infringement notice and you believe the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may be entitled to submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

A valid counter-notification should contain the legally required information described below.

13. Counter-Notification Requirements

Where applicable, a counter-notification should include:

A. Signature

Your physical or electronic signature.

B. Identification of Removed Material

Identify the material that was removed or to which access was disabled.

Also identify the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.

C. Statement Under Penalty of Perjury

Include a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of:

• Mistake; or
• Misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.

D. Name, Address, and Telephone Number

Provide:

• Your full legal name
• Physical address
• Telephone number

E. Consent to Jurisdiction

Your counter-notification must include any consent-to-jurisdiction and service-of-process statements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3).

Where applicable, this generally includes consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States Federal District Court and acceptance of service of process from the person who submitted the original copyright notice or that person's authorized agent.

14. Where to Send a Counter-Notification

Send a counter-notification to:

Recommended email subject:

DMCA Counter-Notification – [Your Name]

15. Counter-Notification Review

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may provide a copy to the original complaining party as required or permitted by law.

Where the statutory process applies, restoration of removed material may depend on whether the original claimant notifies us that appropriate legal action has been filed seeking to restrain the alleged infringement.

Any restoration will be handled according to applicable legal requirements.

16. Do Not Submit a Counter-Notification Without a Valid Basis

A counter-notification is a legal statement.

Do not submit one unless you genuinely believe that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.

Knowingly submitting materially false information may expose the sender to legal consequences.

17. False Copyright Claims

Copyright notices and counter-notifications should be submitted in good faith.

Under applicable law, including 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that:

• Material is infringing; or
• Material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification

may be liable for certain damages, costs, and attorneys' fees.

Do not use the copyright-reporting process to submit fraudulent, retaliatory, competitive, or knowingly false claims.

18. Fair Use and Other Lawful Uses

Not every use of copyrighted material constitutes infringement.

Applicable law may permit certain uses under doctrines or rights such as:

• Fair use
• License
• Authorization
• Public domain
• Other statutory exceptions or limitations

Before submitting a copyright notice, claimants should consider whether the disputed use may be legally authorized.

19. Licensed Content

Some content appearing on our website may be used pursuant to:

• A license
• Permission
• Supplier authorization
• Photographer authorization
• Content-provider authorization
• Other lawful rights

If a valid copyright claim is submitted concerning licensed content, we may review the relevant authorization before determining what action is appropriate.

20. Product Photographs

If your copyright complaint concerns a product photograph, please provide:

• A copy or link to the original photograph
• Evidence of ownership or authorization
• Date or location of original publication where available
• Exact Velryne URL containing the disputed image
• Explanation of the alleged unauthorized use

21. Written Content

If your complaint concerns written material, such as product descriptions or website text, please identify:

• The original protected text
• Where the original was published
• The specific Velryne content at issue
• The exact URL
• Evidence of copyright ownership or authorization

Please identify the specific protected expression rather than merely identifying the underlying idea or factual information.

22. Graphics and Artwork

For complaints concerning graphics, illustrations, artwork, or other visual works, please provide:

• The original work
• Evidence of authorship or ownership
• Original publication information where available
• Exact URL containing the allegedly infringing work
• Supporting registration or licensing information where applicable

23. Repeat Infringement

Where appropriate and in circumstances where applicable law requires or permits it, Velryne may adopt and reasonably implement measures relating to repeat copyright infringement.

Depending on the circumstances, actions may include:

• Content removal
• Content restrictions
• Listing removal
• Restrictions on repeated submission of infringing content
• Termination of access to applicable services where appropriate

Any action will depend on the facts and applicable legal requirements.

24. Third-Party Content

Our website may contain content supplied, licensed, hosted, transmitted, or otherwise supported by third-party service providers.

Where a complaint concerns material controlled by an independent third party, we may:

• Review the complaint
• Remove or restrict the material where within our control
• Refer the matter to the appropriate provider where necessary
• Provide information regarding the appropriate reporting process where available

 

25. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to independent third-party websites.

Velryne does not necessarily control material hosted exclusively on independent third-party websites.

If the allegedly infringing content is hosted entirely by another website or service, you may need to submit a copyright notice directly to that site's operator or service provider.

26. Intellectual Property Other Than Copyright

The DMCA process primarily concerns copyright infringement.

For complaints involving:

• Trademarks
• Logos
• Trade names
• Design rights
• Other intellectual property issues

please review our separate Intellectual Property Claim Policy or contact: support@velryne.com

27. Information Shared With Relevant Parties

Information contained in a copyright notice or counter-notification may need to be disclosed to other parties involved in the dispute.

This may include:

• The person or entity responsible for the disputed material
• The copyright claimant
• Hosting or platform service providers
• Legal advisers
• Courts or government authorities where required by law

Therefore, do not include unnecessary sensitive information in a copyright notice.

28. Privacy

Personal information provided in connection with a copyright notice may be processed for purposes including:

• Receiving and reviewing copyright claims
• Verifying claimant information
• Communicating about the claim
• Processing counter-notifications
• Meeting legal obligations
• Establishing or defending legal rights
• Maintaining appropriate compliance records

Personal information is otherwise handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

29. No Legal Advice

Information in this policy is provided to explain our copyright reporting process.

It does not constitute legal advice.

Copyright disputes may involve complex legal questions. If you are uncertain about your legal rights or obligations, you may wish to obtain advice from an appropriately qualified attorney.

30. No Determination of Ultimate Ownership

Velryne may review and respond to copyright complaints but is not a court.

Unless required by law, our review does not constitute a final judicial determination regarding:

• Copyright ownership
• Validity of a copyright
• Infringement
• Fair use
• Licensing disputes
• Damages

Parties retain any legal rights available to them under applicable law.

31. Copyright Registration

Copyright registration information may be useful when evaluating a claim, but requirements regarding registration and enforcement vary depending on the jurisdiction and legal action involved.

Claimants should provide registration details where available.

32. Abuse of the Reporting Process

We reserve the right to take reasonable steps against abuse of our copyright reporting procedures.

Examples may include:

• Fraudulent notices
• Repeated knowingly false claims
• Impersonation of copyright owners
• Harassment
• Attempts to remove lawful competitor content without a valid copyright basis
• Falsified ownership documentation

Legitimate good-faith claims will not be rejected merely because the claimant ultimately does not prevail.

33. Withdrawal of a Copyright Notice

If you submitted a copyright complaint and later determine that it should be withdrawn, contact:

support@velryne.com

Please include:

• Your name
• Original notice date
• Identification of the disputed material
• Relevant URL
• Clear statement that you are withdrawing the complaint

We will review the withdrawal and take appropriate action.

34. Restoration After Withdrawal

If a claimant withdraws a notice, we may restore content where:

• Restoration is technically possible
• No other legal restriction applies
• No separate valid claim remains
• Restoration is otherwise appropriate

Withdrawal does not guarantee restoration in every circumstance.

35. Our Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, original materials owned by Velryne may be protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

These materials may include:

• Original website text
• Original photographs
• Graphics
• Branding materials
• Original product descriptions
• Website design elements
• Other original creative content

Unauthorized reproduction or distribution may violate applicable law.

36. Copyright Notices Concerning Velryne Content Elsewhere

If you believe Velryne-owned material has been copied onto another website, that matter may need to be addressed through the copyright procedure of the website or service hosting the copied material.

This policy primarily explains how claims regarding content appearing on the Velryne website may be submitted to us.

37. Changes to This Policy

We may update this DMCA Copyright Policy when reasonably necessary to reflect:

• Changes to copyright law
