DMCA and Copyright Policy
Last Updated: July 18, 2026 Effective Date: July 18, 2026
My Opus, Inc. ("Opus," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects Users of the Opus services (the "Services") to do the same. This DMCA and Copyright Policy ("DMCA Policy") describes how to notify us of claimed copyright infringement on or through the Services, how we respond to such notices in accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 (the "DMCA"), and our policy regarding repeat infringers.
This DMCA Policy supplements, and forms part of, our Terms of Use. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this DMCA Policy have the meanings given to them in our Terms of Use or our Privacy Policy, as applicable.
1. Scope
This DMCA Policy applies to claims that material made available on or through the Services infringes a copyright protected under U.S. law. For other intellectual property claims (such as trademark, trade secret, or patent claims) or for claims arising under the laws of jurisdictions other than the United States, please contact us at legal@opuswithin.com. We will respond to such claims in accordance with applicable law and our internal procedures.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and at any time, to remove or restrict access to any material we believe in good faith infringes a third party's copyright or otherwise violates our Terms of Use, with or without prior notice to the User responsible for posting that material.
2. Designated Copyright Agent
In accordance with the DMCA, we have designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement. The contact information for our designated copyright agent is:
Designated Copyright Agent:
My Opus, Inc. United States Email: dmca@opuswithin.com
Our designated copyright agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. The U.S. Copyright Office's directory of designated agents is available at https://www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory/.
To ensure prompt processing, please direct DMCA notices and counter-notifications only to the designated copyright agent at the address above. Notices submitted to other email addresses, mailing addresses, or contact channels may not receive a timely response.
3. Notification of Claimed Infringement
If you believe in good faith that material made available on or through the Services infringes a copyright that you own or are authorized to enforce, you may submit a written notification of claimed infringement (a "Notice") to our designated copyright agent.
3.1 Required Elements of a Notice
To be effective under the DMCA, your Notice must be in writing and must include substantially the following information, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A):
(a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
(b) 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 Notice, a representative list of such works;
(c) 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 (such as the URL of the page on which the material appears);
(d) 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;
(e) 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; and
(f) a statement that the information in the Notice 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.
3.2 How to Submit a Notice
Notices may be submitted to our designated copyright agent by email or postal mail at the contact details set forth in Section 2 (Designated Copyright Agent).
We strongly encourage submission by email for fastest processing. Email submissions should include the elements listed in Section 3.1 (Required Elements of a Notice) in the body of the email or as an attachment, and should be sent from an email address that allows us to verify the sender's identity to a reasonable extent.
3.3 Our Response to Notices
Upon receipt of a Notice that substantially complies with the requirements of Section 3.1 (Required Elements of a Notice), we will:
(a) expeditiously remove or disable access to the material identified in the Notice;
(b) take reasonable steps to notify the User who posted the material that we have removed or disabled access to the material; and
(c) follow the procedures set forth in 17 U.S.C. § 512 with respect to counter-notification, restoration of material, and other applicable matters.
If a Notice does not substantially comply with the requirements of Section 3.1, we may, in our discretion, contact the complaining party to request additional information, or we may decline to act on the Notice without prejudice to the complaining party's right to submit a compliant Notice.
4. Counter-Notification
If you are a User whose material has been removed or to which access has been disabled in response to a Notice, and you believe in good faith that the removal or disabling was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification (a "Counter-Notification") to our designated copyright agent.
4.1 Required Elements of a Counter-Notification
To be effective under the DMCA, your Counter-Notification must be in writing and must include substantially the following information, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):
(a) your physical or electronic signature;
(b) 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;
(c) 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; and
(d) 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 your address is located, or, if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original Notice or an agent of that person.
4.2 Effect of a Counter-Notification
Upon receipt of a Counter-Notification that substantially complies with the requirements of Section 4.1 (Required Elements of a Counter-Notification), we will:
(a) promptly provide the person who submitted the original Notice with a copy of the Counter-Notification and inform that person that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the Counter-Notification; and
(b) replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the Counter-Notification, unless our designated copyright agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the original Notice that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the User from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Services.
5. Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we have adopted and reasonably implement a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of accounts of Users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright.
5.1 Determination of Repeat Infringement
We will consider a User to be a "repeat infringer" if the User accumulates multiple separate, valid Notices of claimed copyright infringement in respect of material posted by that User. We may also, in our sole discretion, terminate accounts where we determine, based on the totality of the circumstances, that termination is appropriate (including in cases of egregious infringement, even where the threshold has not been reached).
5.2 Consequences of Repeat Infringement
Upon a determination that a User is a repeat infringer, we will, as appropriate:
(a) terminate the User's account and any other accounts the User maintains with the Services;
(b) restrict the User's ability to create new accounts on the Services; and
(c) take such other action as we deem appropriate in our sole discretion.
We will notify the affected User of any such action, except where notification is impracticable or prohibited by law.
6. Misrepresentations
You should be aware that, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents:
(a) that material or activity is infringing; or
(b) 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 us, 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.
We reserve the right to seek damages and other remedies against any party who submits a Notice or Counter-Notification containing knowing material misrepresentations.
7. Effect of Submission
By submitting a Notice or a Counter-Notification, you acknowledge and agree that:
(a) we may forward your Notice or Counter-Notification (including any personal information contained therein) to the User or copyright owner involved in the matter and to other appropriate parties, including in the event that we are required to do so by law;
(b) we may, but are not obligated to, publish a redacted or non-redacted copy of your Notice or Counter-Notification in connection with publicly available transparency reports or similar disclosures, in accordance with our Privacy Policy;
(c) we are not a court of law and are not in a position to adjudicate the merits of any copyright dispute, and our actions in response to a Notice or Counter-Notification are not, and should not be construed as, a determination on the merits of any underlying claim; and
(d) you should consult with an attorney if you have questions regarding your legal rights or obligations under the DMCA or any other law.
8. Modifications to This Policy
We may modify this DMCA Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last revised. Material changes will be communicated as set forth in Section 23 (Changes to These Terms) of our Terms of Use.
We will keep the contact information for our designated copyright agent current, and will update both this Policy and our registration with the U.S. Copyright Office promptly upon any change in such contact information.
