DMCA Copyright Policy

Last updated: May 28, 2026

GIGACHAD LLC ("GIGACHAD", "we", "us") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the GIGACHAD service to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at https://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed using the GIGACHAD service that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

This policy supplements our Terms of Service, EULA, and Acceptable Use Policy.

1. Designated Agent

Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2), GIGACHAD has designated the following agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement:

DMCA Agent
GIGACHAD LLC
c/o Northwest Registered Agent LLC
202 N Cedar Ave, STE #1
Owatonna, MN 55060
United States
Email: legal@gigachadapp.com
Phone: +1 (612) 293-6460

Our Designated Agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory at https://dmca.copyright.gov/. Only DMCA notices and counter-notices should be sent to the Designated Agent. Other communications (including general legal questions, support inquiries, or feedback) should be directed to the contact information in our Terms of Service; we are not obligated to respond to non-DMCA communications received at this address.

2. Filing a takedown notice

To file a notice of claimed copyright infringement under the DMCA, send a written notice to our Designated Agent identified in Section 1. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A), your notice must include substantially all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (for example, the URL or in-app location of the content, the username of the uploader, and the date and time you observed the material).
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
• A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Notices that do not substantially comply with these requirements may not be effective and may delay or prevent processing. We recommend consulting with an attorney before submitting a DMCA notice.

3. Our response upon receiving a valid notice

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will:

• Promptly remove or disable access to the material that is claimed to be infringing or that is the subject of the infringing activity.
• Take reasonable steps to notify the user who provided the material that we have removed or disabled access to it, and forward a copy of the notice (or a redacted version of it) to that user.
• Document the takedown internally for our records and for compliance with our repeat-infringer policy.

4. Counter-notification

If you are a user whose content has been removed or disabled under a DMCA notice and you believe in good faith that the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification of the material, you may submit a written counter-notification to our Designated Agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), your counter-notice must include substantially all of the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
• Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which GIGACHAD may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will promptly forward a copy to the original complaining party informing them that we may replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. Unless the original complaining party files an action seeking a court order against the user, we may replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it between 10 and 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification, in our discretion.

5. Repeat infringer policy

Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), GIGACHAD has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined by us to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to GIGACHAD and terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

6. Misrepresentations

You should be aware that, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents (i) that material or activity is infringing, or (ii) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or by GIGACHAD, as a result of our reliance upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this DMCA Copyright Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of GIGACHAD after an update means you accept the revised policy.

8. Contact
