DMCA & Copyright Policy
Effective date: June 25, 2025
Pixel Reef, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of PolySays (polysays.com) to do the same. This policy describes our procedures for responding to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA").
1. Our Commitment to Copyright Compliance
PolySays aggregates publicly available prediction-market data and curates brief news excerpts for editorial commentary. We link to original sources, attribute quoted material, and use only concise excerpts consistent with fair-use principles. We do not reproduce substantial third-party article text.
Notwithstanding our efforts, if you believe that material on PolySays infringes your copyright, we will respond promptly to properly submitted notices as described below.
2. Designated Agent
Our designated agent for receiving DMCA takedown notices is:
Pixel Reef, LLC — DMCA Agent, Tampa, Florida. Email: contact@polysays.com.
We encourage submission of notices by email for the fastest response.
3. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice
To file a notice of alleged copyright infringement, you must provide a written communication to our designated agent that includes substantially the following: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; (b) a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; (c) a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on PolySays, with sufficient detail to allow us to locate it (e.g., the specific URL); (d) your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
Knowingly submitting a materially false DMCA notice may subject you to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
4. Counter-Notification
If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent that includes: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before removal; (c) 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; and (d) your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your judicial district (or, if you are outside the United States, Hillsborough County, Florida) and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant and may restore the material within 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant files a court action seeking a restraining order.
5. Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts or access of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We reserve the right to remove any content and terminate any account at our sole discretion.
