DMCA & Copyright Policy

Jeffrey's Skills.md respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. This policy explains how to report copyright infringement and what to expect from our process.

Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe content on our service infringes your copyright, send a DMCA notice to:

Required Information

Your notice must include:

1. Your contact information — Name, address, phone number, and email address
2. Identification of the copyrighted work — A description or link to the original copyrighted material you own
3. Identification of the infringing content — The skill name, ID, or URL of the allegedly infringing content on our service
4. Good faith statement — A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
5. Accuracy statement — A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
6. Signature — Your physical or electronic signature

What Happens Next

Once we receive a valid DMCA notice:

1. We review the notice — We verify that the notice is complete and appears valid
2. We disable access — If the notice is credible, we promptly disable access to the reported content
3. We notify the uploader — We inform the user who uploaded the content about the complaint and provide counter-notice instructions
4. We preserve records — We maintain a record of the notice, actions taken, and communications for legal compliance

Counter-Notice

If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. Your counter-notice must include:

• Your contact information (name, address, phone, email)
• Identification of the removed content and its location before removal
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the content was removed by mistake or misidentification
• A statement consenting to jurisdiction in federal court and that you will accept service of process from the complainant
• Your physical or electronic signature

Send counter-notices to dmca@jeffreys-skills.md

Timeline

• Initial review — We review notices promptly, typically within 1-2 business days
• Content removal — If valid, content is disabled within 24 hours of verification
• Counter-notice response — If a counter-notice is received, we forward it to the complainant who has 10-14 business days to file a court action before we may restore the content

Repeat Infringers

We terminate accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. This may include termination after multiple valid DMCA notices or a single instance of willful, serious infringement.

Misrepresentation

Under the DMCA, anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that content is infringing, or that content was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney fees. Do not file false notices.
