StelaHome respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects the same from creators, users, and partners. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512.
Send DMCA notices to our designated agent: DMCA Agent, Stela Home, Inc., [registered agent address — founder decision]. Email: dmca@stelahome.com. Our agent registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is current as of the "Last Updated" date above.
A valid DMCA notice must include: (a) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including the URL on stelahome.com; (d) your contact information (address, telephone, and email); (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
Upon receipt of a notice that substantially complies with the requirements above, we will: review the notice, remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material, and notify the user who posted the material. We may take additional steps, including suspending the responsible account, if the circumstances warrant.
If you believe content of yours was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. A valid counter-notice must include: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the material that was removed and the URL where it appeared before removal; (c) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; (d) 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, the federal district court where StelaHome may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice.
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless the complainant notifies us within ten (10) business days that it has filed a court action seeking to restrain the user, we may restore the material at our discretion, generally within ten to fourteen business days.
StelaHome maintains a repeat-infringer policy. We may suspend or terminate accounts — including paid subscriber and creator accounts — that repeatedly post infringing material or that are subject to repeated valid notices.
Knowingly submitting a materially false notice or counter-notice may subject the submitter to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Consult counsel if you are unsure whether your claim is valid.
