Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, AMB Digital Group, LLC has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.
Our Policy Includes:
- Account Termination: We may terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.
- Strike System: We may implement a strike system where multiple valid DMCA notices against a user result in escalating consequences, potentially including permanent account termination.
- Content Monitoring: Users with a history of infringement may be subject to increased scrutiny of their posted content.
- Appeals: Users may appeal termination decisions by contacting us with additional information demonstrating that the infringement claims were invalid.
We reserve the right to decide what constitutes a "repeat infringer" and whether to terminate any user account at our sole discretion.

Safe Harbor Provisions
The DMCA provides "safe harbor" protection to online service providers that meet certain requirements. As a service provider, we qualify for safe harbor protection when we:
Implement DMCA Procedures
We have adopted and reasonably implemented a policy for terminating repeat infringers.
Designate an Agent
We have designated an agent to receive DMCA notices and registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.
Respond Promptly
We expeditiously remove or disable access to infringing material upon receiving valid notices.
No Actual Knowledge
We do not have actual knowledge of infringing activity on our platform without proper notification.
These safe harbor provisions are designed to balance the interests of copyright owners with the need for online platforms to operate without being liable for every piece of user-generated content.
Good Faith & Misrepresentation
The DMCA requires that all parties involved in the takedown and counter-notification process act in good faith. This section outlines important considerations regarding good faith and the consequences of misrepresentation.
Warning: Penalties for False Claims
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person 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 damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner or its licensee, or the service provider.
Good Faith Requirements
For Copyright Owners
Before submitting a takedown notice, you must have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized. Consider whether the use may constitute fair use under copyright law.
For Content Posters
Before submitting a counter-notification, you must have a good faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification. False counter-notices can result in legal liability.
Fair Use Consideration
Copyright law includes a doctrine called "fair use" that permits limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as:
- Criticism and commentary
- News reporting
- Teaching and education
- Scholarship and research
- Parody and transformative works
We encourage all parties to consider fair use before submitting takedown notices. For more information about fair use, please visit the U.S. Copyright Office.
