Snaza Copyright Policy

1. What this covers

Most of what you add to Snaza stays private in your own wardrobe. Copyright questions usually arise when content is shared with other people through share links, invitations or, in the future, public pages on snaza.app. This policy covers all content hosted in Snaza and on snaza.app.

2. Respecting other people's work

Use your own photos. A photo you took of your own clothes is yours to use. Product photos from shops, images from magazines or social media, and designs, prints or artwork belonging to others are usually protected by copyright. You may keep a reference privately for your own use where the law allows it, but do not share it unless you have permission. AI covers made from someone else's photo do not remove their rights.

3. Sending a copyright notice

If you believe content in Snaza infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent. To be valid under the DMCA, it must include:

1. a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of a person authorized to act on their behalf;
2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if several works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of them;
3. identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it, for example the share address (snaza.app/@handle/name or snaza.app/s/...) and a description of the item;
4. your name, postal 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 the law;
6. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Designated agent: [DMCA designated agent name], Backo, Inc., [Backo, Inc. mailing address], [DMCA agent email address], [DMCA agent phone number]. US Copyright Office registration number: [DMCA agent registration number].

You can also use Report in the app and choose "Uses someone else's work", or write to abuse@snaza.app. We review those reports under the Community Guidelines, but only a notice with the elements above is a formal DMCA notice.

Before sending a notice, consider whether the use may be allowed, for example as fair use. Under 17 U.S.C. section 512(f), a person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.

4. What happens next

When we receive a valid notice, we act promptly. We will usually:

1. remove or disable access to the material, for example by removing the item from the share or ending the share;
2. tell the person who shared it what we removed and why, send them a copy of the notice (which may include the complainant's name and contact details) and explain how to send a counter-notice and how to ask for a review;
3. record the notice for the repeat-infringer policy in section 6.

If a notice is incomplete, we may ask for the missing information before acting.

5. Counter-notices

If your content was removed and you believe that happened by mistake or because the material was misidentified, you can send a counter-notice to our designated agent. It must include:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
3. 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 of the material to be removed or disabled;
4. your name, 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 your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Backo may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or an agent of that person.

When we receive a valid counter-notice, we send a copy to the person who sent the original notice and tell them that we will restore the material in 10 business days. Unless our designated agent first receives notice that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material, we restore the material, or stop disabling access to it, not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after we received the counter-notice. Restoring a share means making it visible again to the people it was shared with, if the share still exists.

6. Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

• Each valid notice against an account counts as a strike, unless it is withdrawn, successfully countered or found to be mistaken.
• An account that receives three strikes within 12 months will usually be terminated.
• We may end an account sooner for serious or deliberate infringement, for example sharing large amounts of other people's work.
• Someone whose account was ended as a repeat infringer may not create a new account.
• We keep notices, reports and our decisions for 12 months after the decision. If an account is deleted, its records are kept for the rest of that period without the account's identity, as the Privacy Policy explains in section 11.

7. Notices from outside the United States

We handle copyright notices from anywhere in the same way. People in the EU can use the notice process in section 14 of the Community Guidelines, which follows the Digital Services Act; include the information listed in section 3 of this policy where you can. Whatever the country, we tell the affected user what we did and why, and they can ask for a review.

8. Trademarks and counterfeits

Trademark concerns, such as a handle that uses your brand or shared content that presents counterfeit goods as genuine, are not handled under the DMCA. Report them in the app or write to abuse@snaza.app with the trademark, its registration details, where it appears in Snaza and why you believe the use is not allowed. We review these reports under the Community Guidelines and may remove content or change a handle, as the Terms of Use explain.

9. Our own content

The Snaza app, website, Journal articles, illustrations and photographs belong to Backo or its licensors. If you would like to use them, write to hello@snaza.app.
