Wanderdriven Inc. ("wanderdriven", "us", "we", or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of wanderdriven.com and the wanderdriven application (the "Service") to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Service that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

This Policy forms part of the agreement described in section 1.1 of our Terms of Service, and controls on any question of copyright notice, counter-notice, or repeat infringement.

1. Designated Copyright Agent

Notifications of claimed infringement and counter-notices should be sent to our Designated Agent:

Designated Agent: Designated Copyright Agent, Wanderdriven Inc.
Email: dmca@wanderdriven.com
Mailing Address: Wanderdriven Inc., 5920 S. Hwy A1A, Suite #202, Melbourne Beach, FL 32951, United States
Phone: 855-926-9263

This contact is for copyright notices only; unrelated inquiries will not receive a response through this channel.

2. Notice of Copyright Infringement (Takedown Notice)

If you believe that material available on the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notice to our Designated Agent that includes all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (for example, the URL, story identifier, or story arc identifier).
Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
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 the law.
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, if you materially misrepresent that material is infringing.

3. What Happens After We Receive a Notice

Upon receipt of a notice that substantially complies with section 2, we will:

Remove or disable access to the identified material expeditiously.
Notify the user who posted the material, and provide them with a copy of the notice, including the complainant's name and contact information.
Inform that user of their right to submit a counter-notification under section 4.
Record the notice against the user's account for the purposes of section 5.

Where the removed material has been purchased or is subject to paid access, removal proceeds notwithstanding that access, in accordance with section 8.2 of our Privacy Policy. Affected purchasers are notified and refunded or credited under section 5.4 of the Terms of Service. Creator earnings attributable to the removed material are reversed.

Where the material forms part of a purchased story arc, removal of that material does not by itself end the purchaser's access to the remainder of the arc. Whether a refund arises is determined under the partial removal provisions of section 5.4 of the Terms of Service.

The disclosures described in this section and in section 4 are required by 17 U.S.C. § 512 and are noted in section 17 of our Privacy Policy.

4. Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to our Designated Agent that includes all of the following:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before removal.
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.
Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, and 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 outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or their agent.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant — including the name, address, and telephone number you provide — and may restore the removed material in no less than 10 and no more than 14 business days, unless our Designated Agent first receives notice that the original complainant has filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Material restored following a valid counter-notification does not count toward the repeat infringer standard in section 5.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

We have adopted and reasonably implemented a policy providing for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

An account that is the subject of three substantiated infringement notices within any twelve-month period will be terminated. A notice is substantiated where the material was removed and no valid counter-notification was submitted, or where a counter-notification was submitted and the complainant obtained relief.

We may terminate an account immediately, without accumulation, in cases of severe or willful infringement, including the distribution of leaked or unreleased commercial works and the systematic reproduction of another party's catalogue.

Terminated users may not open a new account. Terminated accounts forfeit access to monetization features, and earnings attributable to infringing content are withheld or reversed.

This standard mirrors section 2.3 of our Acceptable Use Policy.

6. Family Archives and Inherited Material

Legacy collections routinely contain photographs, letters, recordings, and documents that a user did not personally create. Uploading such material for private preservation or family sharing is permitted where the user has a good-faith basis to believe they hold the rights, have inherited them, or that the material is in the public domain.

Clear rights are required for any content published as Discovery or Premium. This does not limit a rights holder's ability to submit a notice under section 2, and it does not constitute a determination that any particular use is non-infringing.

7. Trademark and Other Rights

The DMCA process above applies to copyright only. Complaints concerning trademarks, publicity rights, moral rights, or other proprietary rights should be sent to legal@wanderdriven.com with a description of the right claimed, the basis for the claim, the location of the material, and your contact information.

Complaints concerning your own personal information or your appearance in content published by another user are handled under section 8.5 of our Privacy Policy, at privacy@wanderdriven.com.

8. Modifications

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with updated dates above.
