User-Generated Content Disclaimer

Our platform allows users to create and publish their own advertisements and profiles. All such content is user-generated and not created, edited, reviewed, or endorsed by Pendiknet Media Limited prior to posting. We act as an intermediary platform provider and are not responsible for the content of user advertisements or profiles. However, we take copyright infringement seriously and will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law.

The Company reserves the right to remove any content, including but not limited to advertisements, profiles, images, or text, at its sole discretion and without prior notice.

If you believe that content on our website infringes your copyright or the copyright of someone you represent, please send a written notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), containing the following information:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple works, a representative list)
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and where it is located on our website, with sufficient detail for us to locate the material (e.g., URL)
  4. Your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law
  6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury under 18 U.S.C. § 1746, that the above information is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner

Notice Processing Time

We aim to process DMCA notices promptly. However, if you do not comply with all of the requirements of this section, your notification may not be valid and may result in a delay of processing.

Counter-Notice Procedure

If material you posted has been removed due to a DMCA notice, you may submit a counter-notice pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) if you believe the material was removed by mistake or misidentification. Your counter-notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and its former location
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury under 18 U.S.C. § 1746 that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification
  4. Your contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and email
  5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district where you reside (or Istanbul, Turkey if you live outside the U.S.)
  6. A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If we do not receive notice within 10 business days that the original complainant is seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of the material at issue, we may replace or cease disabling access to the material that was removed.

DMCA Protection for Service Providers

We follow the safe harbor provisions set forth in Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). As an online service provider, we maintain a policy that provides for the termination of user accounts in appropriate circumstances when users are determined to be repeat infringers of copyrights.

Repeat Infringers

In accordance with Section 512(i)(1)(A) of the DMCA, we maintain a policy to terminate account privileges of repeat copyright infringers in appropriate circumstances. A repeat infringer is a user who has been notified of infringing activity multiple times or has had infringing material removed from our service multiple times.

The Company maintains sole discretion in determining whether a user is a repeat infringer. We may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers without notice and at our sole discretion.

Notice & Takedown Procedure Details

  1. Initial Review: Upon receiving a DMCA notice, we will review it for completeness and validity.
  2. Temporary Removal: If the notice is valid, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
  3. User Notification: We will make reasonable efforts to notify the user who posted the removed content.
  4. Counter Notice Window: The user will have the opportunity to file a counter-notice.
  5. Restoration of Content: Content may be restored after 10-14 business days if no further legal action is taken by the copyright holder.

Nothing in this Policy constitutes legal advice. We suggest you consult an attorney regarding your rights and obligations under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other applicable laws.
