DMCA & Copyright Takedown Policy
Amdura™ ("we," "our," or "us") respects the intellectual property rights of creators, designers, and software engineers, and expects all users, clients, research participants, and partners of our platform and agency services to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512, "DMCA"), we respond expeditiously to notices of alleged copyright infringement committed through our websites, mobile applications, AI plugins, and client portals.
1. Overview & Safe Harbor Compliance
As a provider of digital web design services, cross-cultural UX testing networks, and AI-driven platforms, Amdura™ qualifies for "Safe Harbor" protection under Section 512 of the DMCA. We maintain strict technical and administrative protocols to ensure that copyright-protected materials uploaded or transmitted without authorization by third parties are promptly investigated and removed upon receiving proper statutory notification.
2. Submitting a DMCA Infringement Notification
If you believe that your copyright-protected work, branding asset, or software code has been copied, displayed, or distributed through our platform or on a site developed or hosted by Amdura™ in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you must provide a formal written notification to our Designated Copyright Agent containing the following information:
- Physical or Electronic Signature: 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: Clear 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.
- Identification of the Infringing Material: Clear 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, along with URL(s) or precise locations sufficient to permit us to locate the material.
- Your Contact Information: Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, including your full legal name, physical mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- Good Faith Statement: 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, its agent, or the law.

4. Counter-Notification Procedure
If material you posted on or submitted to our platform was removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA takedown notice, and you believe this was due to mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written Counter-Notification to our Copyright Agent containing:
- 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 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, physical address, and telephone number.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or District of Massachusetts if outside the U.S.), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification.
Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notification, we will forward a copy to the original complaining party. If the complaining party does not file a court action seeking a restraining order against you within 10 to 14 business days, Amdura™ may restore the removed material at its discretion.

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, Amdura™ enforces a strict repeat infringer policy. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate the accounts, client portals, or participant testing privileges of users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the intellectual property rights of others.
6. Misrepresentations & Liability
Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to civil monetary liability, including court costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Amdura™ or the alleged infringer.
