Copyright Policy & DMCA

Last updated: April 30, 2026

Nexus Social respects intellectual property rights. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512) and analogous laws in other jurisdictions.

1. Designated Copyright Agent

Notices of alleged copyright infringement should be sent to our Designated Agent:

An agent registration with the U.S. Copyright Office under §512(c)(2) is on file. The current registration ID is published in the Copyright Office's online directory at copyright.gov/dmca-directory/.

2. How to File a Takedown Notice

To be effective, a takedown notice must include all of the following (DMCA §512(c)(3)):

1. Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name in the form satisfies this).
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works).
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing — including specific URLs on Nexus Social. We cannot action notices that say "all my songs on your site"; we need URLs.
4. Your contact information: full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the rights-holder, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights-holder or are authorised to act on behalf of the rights-holder.

3. How to File a Counter-Notice

If your content was removed in response to a takedown and you believe the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice. To be effective (DMCA §512(g)(3)) it must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the URL(s) it appeared at before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, email.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, the Southern District of New York), and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant.

Once we receive a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action seeking a restraining order within 10–14 business days, we restore access to the material.

4. Repeat-Infringer Policy

Nexus Social terminates, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. Three valid takedown notices within a rolling 12-month period — or a single egregious infringement — result in account termination. Termination of one account also results in a ban on creating new accounts. Decisions are reviewable by emailing appeals@my-nexus.social.

5. Knowingly False Notices

Section 512(f) of the DMCA imposes liability — including damages, costs, and attorneys' fees — on any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing or that material was removed by mistake. Submit notices in good faith.

6. Trademark, Right-of-Publicity, and Other Claims

For trademark complaints, right-of-publicity claims, or non-DMCA copyright concerns (e.g. EU/UK rights), email legal@my-nexus.social with the same level of specificity (your identity, the right being asserted, the specific URLs, and a sworn statement of accuracy). We process these on an analogous timeline to DMCA notices.
