Copyright and Takedown Policy

1. Our approach

Sianipar Consults LLC respects the rights of creators and expects Ayebridge users to do the same. Content in Ayebridge is private to a customer’s team and the client contacts they invite, and our Acceptable Use Policy forbids infringing material. When we receive a valid notice that content infringes copyright, we act quickly to remove or disable access to it.

This policy follows the notice-and-takedown process of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”, 17 U.S.C. § 512). We also accept notices from rights holders anywhere in the world (see Notices from outside the United States).

2. Where to send a notice

Send copyright notices and counter-notices to our designated agent:

You can also send notices to abuse@ayebridge.com or through our report abuse page by choosing the copyright option. Email is the fastest way to reach us. Please send only copyright matters to the designated agent; other reports go to abuse@ayebridge.com.

3. What a notice must include

To be valid, your notice must be in writing and include:

1. your physical or electronic signature, as the owner of the copyright or someone authorized to act for them;
2. a description of the copyrighted work you say is infringed;
3. the location of the material in Ayebridge: the portal address (the page URL, including the workspace and client), the file name or other details that let us find it;
4. your name, postal address, telephone number and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
6. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for them.

Because portals are private, you may only have a link someone shared with you, or a description. Send what you have; we will tell you if we need more to find the material.

4. What happens after we receive a notice

1. We review the notice. If it is incomplete, we tell you what is missing.
2. If it is valid, we promptly remove or disable access to the material, usually by making the file version concerned unavailable.
3. We tell the workspace Owner what was removed and why, and send them a copy of the notice (with your contact details, as the law expects) so they can respond.
4. We record a strike against the workspace for the repeat-infringer policy below.

5. Counter-notices

If you are the customer and believe the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to our designated agent. It must include:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material removed and where it appeared before removal;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. your name, address and telephone number;
5. a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district of your address (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Sianipar Consults LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

When we receive a valid counter-notice, we send a copy to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10–14 business days that they have filed a court action to stop the infringement, we restore the material and remove the strike.

6. Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright. As a rule, a workspace that receives 3 valid notices that are not successfully countered within 12 months is terminated. We may act sooner in serious cases, for example where a workspace is clearly being used to distribute pirated material.

7. Notices from outside the United States

If you are outside the United States, you can use the same process. Send your notice to legal@ayebridge.com with the information listed above, adapted as needed, and tell us which law you rely on. Under the EU Digital Services Act and similar laws, we review notices about illegal content diligently and without undue delay, tell the person who sent the notice and the affected customer what we decided and why, and let them ask us to review the decision.

8. False notices

Under US law, anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. Before sending a notice, please consider whether the use might be licensed or permitted, for example as fair use. If you are unsure, talk to a lawyer.

9. Trademarks and other rights

For trademark, privacy or other rights complaints, email abuse@ayebridge.com or use our report abuse page, with details of the right you hold and the content concerned. We review these under our Acceptable Use Policy.
