DMCA / Copyright Policy.
How Digitalage handles copyright complaints under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512. Digitalage, Inc. is a subsidiary of Hop-on, Inc. (OTCID: HPNN).
1. Introduction
Digitalage, Inc. ("Digitalage," "we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our Site and Services to do the same. Digitalage is a subsidiary of Hop-on, Inc. (OTCID: HPNN).
This DMCA / Copyright Policy explains how Digitalage handles copyright complaints under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA"). It applies to digitalage.com and to our related services, including our applications, players, embeds, APIs, creator submissions, creator tools, partner tools, VOD and streaming content, public-record pages, contact and inquiry forms, Newsroom OS workflows, and other services through which user-directed or third-party content may be made available (collectively, the "Site or Services").
This Policy is incorporated into, and works together with, our Terms of Use.
2. Copyright claims only
This Policy applies to copyright claims handled under the DMCA. Trademark, counterfeit-goods, right-of-publicity, privacy, defamation, contract, or other non-copyright complaints are not processed under this DMCA Policy. Those matters may be governed by our Terms of Use, Trademark Policy, or other applicable policies.
3. DMCA safe harbor and neutral process
Digitalage maintains procedures intended to comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512 and to preserve available safe harbor protections. These procedures include a designated agent for receipt of notices, a notice-and-takedown process, a counter-notice process, a repeat-infringer policy, and accommodation of standard technical measures as required by the DMCA.
Digitalage processes notices and counter-notices in accordance with the DMCA. Digitalage does not adjudicate copyright ownership, infringement, fair use, license scope, or any other claim or defense, and makes no determination on the merits of any party's position.
4. Designated DMCA agent
Notices of claimed copyright infringement, counter-notices, and related communications must be directed to our designated agent:

5. How to submit a DMCA takedown notice
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A), a notice of claimed infringement must be a written communication provided to our designated agent and must include substantially the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notice, a representative list of such works.
- 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 to which access is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, such as the exact URL or URLs.
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, including a mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- 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 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.
6. DMCA takedown notice template
You may use the following template. Replacing each field with accurate information helps Digitalage process the notice without delay.
Subject: DMCA Takedown Notice - [Title or Description of Work] To: [email protected] Copyrighted work(s) claimed to be infringed: [Identify the copyrighted work or representative list] Allegedly infringing URL(s) on Digitalage: [Provide exact URL(s) or location information sufficient to find the material] Good-faith statement: I have a good-faith belief that use of the material described above in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. Perjury statement: I state, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notice is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

7. What Digitalage does after receiving a notice
Upon receipt of a notice that is valid or substantially compliant with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A), Digitalage may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and will take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted or submitted it.
If a notice is incomplete, unclear, or does not include information reasonably sufficient for Digitalage to locate the material or contact the complaining party, processing may be delayed and we may request additional information.
Independent of the DMCA process, Digitalage may also remove, restrict, label, demonetize, suspend, or terminate Content, accounts, features, or access where other facts independently justify action under applicable law, the Terms of Use, our repeat-infringer policy, safety requirements, rights-protection needs, or platform-integrity considerations.
8. Counter-notices
If you are a user whose material has been removed or disabled, and you believe the removal or disabling was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our designated agent under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3).
To be effective, a counter-notice must include substantially 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, telephone number, and email address.
- 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 the United States, the United States District Court for the Central District of California, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or that person's agent.
9. Counter-notice template
Subject: DMCA Counter-Notice - [URL or Title of Removed Material] To: [email protected] Material removed or disabled: [Identify the material] Prior location of the material on Digitalage: [Provide the prior URL or location] Perjury statement: Under penalty of perjury, I have a good-faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled. Jurisdiction and service statement: I consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which my address is located, or, if my address is outside the United States, the United States District Court for the Central District of California. I agree to accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice of claimed infringement, or that person's agent. Name: [Full legal name] Address: [Physical mailing address] Email: [Email address] Phone: [Phone number] Signature: [Physical or electronic signature] Date: [Current date]
10. Counter-notice receipt and processing
When Digitalage receives a counter-notice, Digitalage will review it for the statutory information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). Digitalage intends to acknowledge receipt within a reasonable timeframe, generally within two business days, but processing may take longer if the submission is incomplete, unclear, or requires additional review.
If Digitalage determines that the counter-notice is effective, Digitalage will forward a copy to the party who submitted the original notice and will begin the statutory 10 to 14 business day waiting period described below.
Digitalage may reject or decline to process counter-notices that are incomplete, facially invalid, abusive, duplicative, unrelated to the removed material, or otherwise inconsistent with the DMCA, the Terms of Use, or this Policy.
11. Counter-notice and litigation risks
By submitting a counter-notice, you consent to the jurisdiction of a United States federal district court and agree to accept service of process in any related action.
Digitalage processes counter-notices in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) and does not evaluate the merits of any claim or defense, including fair use, ownership, license scope, or authorization.
Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a counter-notice that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), including damages, costs, and attorneys' fees.
Filing a counter-notice may result in the copyright owner commencing litigation against you to keep the material disabled.
12. Restoration timing
When Digitalage receives an effective counter-notice, we will promptly provide a copy to the party who submitted the original notice and inform that party that the removed or disabled material may be restored not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following our receipt of the counter-notice, unless we receive notice that the complainant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on Digitalage.
After that period, Digitalage may restore the material or cease disabling access to it. Digitalage may decline to restore material where independently justified by applicable law, the Terms of Use, our repeat-infringer policy, platform-integrity considerations, or other Digitalage policies.
13. Fair use
Copyright owners are expected to consider whether allegedly infringing material is authorized by law, including fair use, before submitting a takedown notice.
Digitalage does not make fair-use determinations for, or between, the parties. Users who believe that material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, including a good-faith belief that the use is a fair use, may address that belief in a counter-notice as described above.
14. Repeat-infringer policy
Digitalage maintains and reasonably implements a documented policy providing for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the accounts or access of users who are repeat infringers, consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i).
Digitalage may treat a user as a repeat infringer if the user is associated with two or more valid, unretracted, and unresolved DMCA notices within any rolling 12-month period, after accounting for successful counter-notices, withdrawn notices, duplicate notices, evidence of authorization, and other relevant circumstances.
Termination is not automatic and may occur after review of the number, nature, timing, and seriousness of notices, the user's response history, whether conduct appears willful or repeated, and other relevant circumstances. Digitalage may also limit, suspend, or terminate access for users who infringe third-party rights or violate our policies.
15. Misrepresentations
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any party who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or by Digitalage as the service provider, as a result of relying on the misrepresentation.
16. Standard technical measures and voluntary tools
Digitalage accommodates standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted works, where required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(i). Digitalage may also use voluntary rights-protection tools, including hash-matching, fingerprinting, watermarking, metadata review, moderation systems, and similar measures, to support compliance and platform integrity.
The use of any such tools does not impose, and Digitalage does not assume, a general obligation to monitor user content for infringement.
17. No general monitoring; reservation of rights
Digitalage does not assume a general obligation to monitor Content, User Content, Submissions, embedded media, streams, or other materials made available through our Site or Services for copyright infringement. However, Digitalage reserves the right to review content in response to specific complaints, platform-integrity concerns, rights-protection needs, or where required by law.
Digitalage reserves the right, at any time and in its sole discretion, to remove, restrict, label, age-gate, demonetize, disable, suspend, or terminate Content, User Content, Submissions, features, accounts, or access for legal, rights, safety, platform-integrity, operational, or business reasons.
