TEXTORITY DMCA POLICY
Last Updated: September 30, 2026
This DMCA Policy applies to textority.com, text.me, text.to, lets.talk, the Textority platform, and other Textority services that link to or incorporate this Policy (collectively, the “Services”).
This Policy explains the process Textority Inc. (“Textority”) uses for copyright notices and counter-notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), including 17 U.S.C. § 512. It supplements the Textority Terms of Service and Intellectual Property Policy.
1. PURPOSE, SCOPE, AND RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER TERMS
1.1 Purpose. Textority respects copyright and expects Users to do the same. This Policy establishes the process for submitting a notification of claimed copyright infringement intended to invoke the DMCA, responding to a removal or disabling action through a DMCA counter-notice, and addressing repeat copyright infringement in appropriate circumstances.
1.2 U.S. statutory process. The DMCA is a United States statutory process. This Policy does not replace copyright, moral-rights, contractual, or other remedies that may exist under Colombian law or another applicable jurisdiction.
1.3 Copyright-specific scope. This Policy governs DMCA copyright matters. Trademark, counterfeiting, impersonation, publicity-right, patent, trade-secret, and other intellectual-property reports are governed principally by the Textority Intellectual Property Policy and other applicable Textority rules.
1.4 Additional Term. This Policy is an Additional Term under the Terms of Service. The order-of-precedence rules in the Terms of Service apply. For a formal DMCA matter, this Policy controls the DMCA-specific notice, counter-notice, designated-agent, and restoration process.
1.5 No safe-harbor representation. This Policy describes a process designed to support compliance with applicable copyright law. Publication of this Policy alone does not represent or guarantee that Textority qualifies for any limitation on liability or safe harbor under 17 U.S.C. § 512 for every activity, service, or circumstance.
2. IMPORTANT COPYRIGHT PRINCIPLES
2.1 Rights required. A User must not upload, post, sell, transmit, distribute, perform, display, or otherwise use copyrighted material through the Services unless the User owns the necessary rights or has a license, permission, statutory exception, or other lawful basis.
2.2 Lawful uses remain lawful. Copyright protection is subject to limitations and exceptions, including fair use and other lawful uses where applicable. Before submitting a DMCA Notice, a complaining party should consider whether the challenged use may be authorized by the copyright owner, a license, applicable law, or a copyright limitation or exception.
2.3 Platform action is not a judicial determination. Textority may remove or disable access to material based on a facially sufficient notice, available information, applicable law, or Textority policy. Such action does not finally determine copyright ownership, infringement, damages, or defenses between private parties.
2.4 No general monitoring promise. Textority does not represent that it continuously monitors every communication, file, Channel, or item of User Content for copyright infringement. Nothing in this Policy creates a general duty to monitor or affirmatively search for infringement beyond obligations imposed by applicable law.
3. TEXTORITY DMCA DESIGNATED AGENT
3.1 Current Designated Agent. Textority’s registered DMCA Designated Agent is:Copyright AgentTextority Inc.10101 SW 27th TerMiami, FL 33165United StatesTelephone: 3058000080Email: hello@textority.comU.S. Copyright Office Registration Number: DMCA-1081564DMCA Notices and DMCA Counter-Notices intended to invoke 17 U.S.C. § 512 should be sent to this Designated Agent. If Textority later updates the designation, the current information published in the Textority Legal Center and reflected in the U.S. Copyright Office directory controls.
3.2 Copyright Office registration. Textority has registered the Designated Agent identified above with the U.S. Copyright Office under registration number DMCA-1081564. The registration currently identifies the following alternate names: Textority; Textority.com; lets.talk; text.me; text.to; www.textority.com. Registration does not by itself guarantee that every Textority activity qualifies for a limitation on liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512.
3.3 Agent email and other routes. Textority currently uses hello@textority.com as the registered email address of its DMCA Designated Agent. A copyright notice or counter-notice sent to that address and otherwise satisfying applicable statutory requirements is directed to the Designated Agent. Reports sent only to a Creator, payment provider, unrelated support route, or other third party may not constitute delivery to the Designated Agent.
3.4 Keeping information current. Textority may amend or renew its Designated Agent registration as permitted or required by law. Senders should use the current Designated Agent information published by Textority at the time of submission.
4. HOW TO SUBMIT A DMCA NOTICE OF CLAIMED INFRINGEMENT
4.1 Written communication. To be effective for purposes of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a DMCA Notice must be a written communication to Textority’s Designated Agent and must include substantially the information required by law.
4.2 Signature. Include a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
4.3 Copyrighted work. Identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by one notice, a representative list may be used where permitted by law.
4.4 Challenged material. Identify the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and provide information reasonably sufficient for Textority to locate it. Whenever available, include the exact Textority URL, Channel URL, message or content identifier, listing or product identifier, file identifier, and any other location information needed to distinguish the challenged material.
4.5 Contact information. Provide information reasonably sufficient for Textority to contact the complaining party, including a mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
4.6 Good-faith statement. Include a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner’s agent, or the law.
4.7 Accuracy and authority statement. Include a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
4.8 Specificity. A notice should identify each challenged item with enough precision for Textority to locate and evaluate it. A broad request to remove an entire account, Channel, domain, category, or all material associated with a person may be insufficient if it does not reasonably identify the material alleged to infringe.
4.9 No unnecessary sensitive information. Do not submit passwords, payment credentials, government identification documents, or other sensitive information unless Textority specifically requests information that is reasonably necessary for the claim or applicable law requires it.
5. INCOMPLETE, MISDIRECTED, OR NON-DMCA REPORTS
5.1 Incomplete notices. If a submission does not substantially satisfy the statutory requirements, Textority may request additional information. Where a notice substantially identifies the copyrighted work, the challenged material, and contact information but is otherwise incomplete, Textority may contact the sender or take other reasonable steps to assist in receiving a compliant notice as appropriate under applicable law.
5.2 No automatic rejection of other legal information. A submission that is not an effective DMCA Notice may still provide information relevant to Textority’s Terms, Intellectual Property Policy, actual knowledge, other legal obligations, or platform enforcement. Textority may review and act on such information independently where permitted or required.
5.3 Non-copyright claims. Trademark, impersonation, privacy, non-consensual intimate imagery, child-safety, fraud, and other non-copyright matters should use the specialized reporting route identified in the Textority Legal Center or the applicable Textority policy.
5.4 Duplicate submissions. Repeatedly submitting the same notice through multiple channels does not require duplicate processing and may delay review. A sender should use the Designated Agent route for a statutory DMCA Notice.
6. HOW TEXTORITY MAY PROCESS A DMCA NOTICE
6.1 Initial review. Textority may review a notice for substantial compliance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), whether the notice identifies material that Textority can locate, and whether there are facial indications of error, misidentification, abuse, or a non-copyright dispute.
6.2 Removal or disabling. When Textority receives an effective DMCA Notice and the statutory process applies, Textority may act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material as required or appropriate under applicable law.
6.3 Notice to the affected User. When the DMCA counter-notice procedure applies, Textority will take reasonable steps promptly to notify the subscriber or affected User that material has been removed or disabled in response to a DMCA Notice.
6.4 Information sharing. Textority may provide the affected User with the notice or information from it as reasonably necessary to explain the claim, allow a response, administer the DMCA process, comply with law, or protect legal rights. Personal information contained in a notice may therefore be disclosed to the affected User or other legally required recipients.
6.5 Scope of action. Textority may limit an action to the identified material, but may take broader action where reasonably necessary because of repeated infringement, evasion, a court order, a separate policy violation, technical necessity, or another lawful basis.
6.6 No admission. Removal or disabling of material does not constitute an admission by Textority or the affected User that infringement occurred, and does not waive any defense, limitation, exception, or other legal right.
7. DMCA COUNTER-NOTICES
7.1 When to use a Counter-Notice. If material was removed or disabled through the DMCA process and the affected User believes the action resulted from mistake or misidentification, the User may submit a DMCA Counter-Notice to Textority’s Designated Agent. A Counter-Notice is a formal legal statement and should not be submitted merely because the User disagrees with the copyright owner.
7.2 Signature. The Counter-Notice must include the User’s physical or electronic signature.
7.3 Identification and prior location. Identify the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before removal or disabling, with enough information for Textority to identify the material and the applicable takedown.
7.4 Statement under penalty of perjury. Include a statement under penalty of perjury that the User has 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.
7.5 Contact information and jurisdiction. Include the User’s name, address, and telephone number, together with a statement that the User consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the User’s address is located, or, if the User’s address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Textority may be found, and that the User will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA Notice or that person’s agent.
7.6 Contact information will be forwarded. The DMCA requires Textority to provide a compliant Counter-Notice to the person who submitted the original notice. A User submitting a Counter-Notice should therefore understand that the contact information and other information included in the Counter-Notice may be disclosed to that person.
7.7 Legal advice. A User who is uncertain whether to submit a Counter-Notice should consider obtaining independent legal advice. Textority cannot provide legal advice or determine for the User whether a particular use is fair use, licensed, in the public domain, or otherwise lawful.
8. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A VALID COUNTER-NOTICE
8.1 Forwarding. If Textority receives a Counter-Notice that substantially satisfies 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) and the statutory process applies, Textority will promptly provide a copy to the person who submitted the original DMCA Notice.
8.2 Notice of possible restoration. Textority will inform the original complaining party that Textority may replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it after the statutory waiting period unless Textority’s Designated Agent receives the legally sufficient notice described in Section 8.3.
8.3 Court or Copyright Claims Board proceeding. Textority may keep material removed or disabled if, before restoration, its Designated Agent receives notice that the complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the User from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material. A qualifying proceeding before the U.S. Copyright Claims Board may also satisfy the applicable statutory condition when the requirements of Title 17 are met.
8.4 Restoration window. If the statutory requirements are satisfied and Textority does not timely receive the notice described in Section 8.3, Textority will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days after receipt of the compliant Counter-Notice, subject to Section 8.5 and applicable law.
8.5 Independent grounds. Restoration under the DMCA process does not require Textority to restore material that is independently prohibited by the Terms of Service, Community and Content Rules, Acceptable Use Policy, Prohibited Products and Services Policy, another applicable Textority policy, a valid legal order, or other law. If Textority relies on a separate ground, it may communicate that ground separately where appropriate.
8.6 Withdrawal or resolution. Textority may restore material earlier when the complaining party withdraws the claim or the parties provide reliable evidence of resolution, unless another lawful basis requires continued restriction.
9. COURT ACTIONS, COPYRIGHT CLAIMS BOARD PROCEEDINGS, AND LEGAL PROCESS
9.1 Evidence of proceeding. A person asking Textority to keep material disabled after a Counter-Notice should provide prompt written notice to the Designated Agent identifying the court or Copyright Claims Board proceeding, the parties, case or docket information if available, the challenged material, and information reasonably sufficient for Textority to verify that the proceeding relates to the material covered by the Counter-Notice.
9.2 Legal process. Textority may respond to valid subpoenas, court orders, Copyright Claims Board process, or other legal process as permitted or required by law, including process seeking information sufficient to identify an alleged infringer.
9.3 No representation. Textority does not represent that filing a particular lawsuit, Copyright Claims Board claim, or other proceeding will preserve a takedown. The legal effect depends on the applicable statute, timing, subject matter, and procedural requirements.
10. FALSE, FRAUDULENT, OR ABUSIVE DMCA SUBMISSIONS
10.1 Accuracy required. A sender must not knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity is infringing or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification.
10.2 Statutory consequences. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents infringement or mistake or misidentification may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by an injured alleged infringer, copyright owner or authorized licensee, or service provider as a result of reliance on the misrepresentation.
10.3 Abuse of process. Textority may reject or restrict abusive submissions, preserve relevant evidence, limit access to reporting tools, take account-level action, or pursue other lawful remedies when a person uses the DMCA process for harassment, retaliation, extortion, censorship of lawful activity, competitive interference, or another knowingly improper purpose.
10.4 Good-faith errors. This Section does not treat every mistake, unsuccessful claim, or disputed legal interpretation as fraud. The statutory standard and other applicable law govern liability for misrepresentation.
11. REPEAT COPYRIGHT INFRINGER POLICY
11.1 Policy. Textority maintains a policy providing for termination, in appropriate circumstances, of subscribers and account holders who are repeat copyright infringers. This Section is intended to inform Users of that policy.
11.2 No fixed universal strike count. Copyright disputes vary in scope and reliability, and the DMCA does not require Textority to use a single public numerical strike rule for every circumstance. Textority may consider the number, timing, subject matter, credibility, and resolution of infringement matters, together with court orders, repeated re-uploading, circumvention, or other relevant evidence.
11.3 Matters that may not support repeat-infringer treatment. Textority may decline to treat a matter as a repeat-infringer event where, for example, the notice was materially deficient, the complainant withdrew it, a compliant Counter-Notice resulted in restoration without a timely qualifying proceeding, a competent authority determined that infringement did not occur, or other reliable information shows that the allegation should not be counted.
11.4 Appropriate circumstances. Depending on the circumstances, Textority may remove material, restrict features, suspend an account or Channel, terminate access, restrict associated accounts used to evade enforcement, or take other proportionate measures permitted by the Terms of Service and law.
11.5 Egregious conduct. Nothing in this Policy requires Textority to wait for repeated notices before acting on conduct that independently justifies immediate restriction or termination under the Terms of Service, a court order, applicable law, fraud or security rules, or another Textority policy.
12. STANDARD TECHNICAL MEASURES
12.1 Applicable requirement. Where 17 U.S.C. § 512(i) applies, Textority will evaluate and accommodate qualifying standard technical measures and will not knowingly interfere with them in a manner prohibited by law.
12.2 No unsupported technical representation. This Policy does not represent that any particular content-identification, fingerprinting, filtering, hashing, rights-management, or automated copyright technology is currently deployed by Textority.
12.3 User interference prohibited. A User may not intentionally defeat or interfere with lawful copyright-protection measures, access controls, or other technical protections in violation of applicable law or Textority policy.
13. FAIR USE, LICENSES, PUBLIC DOMAIN, AND OTHER LAWFUL BASES
13.1 Not every unauthorized-looking use infringes. A use may be lawful because of fair use, license, consent, exhaustion, public-domain status, another statutory limitation, or another legal basis. The existence and scope of a lawful basis are fact-specific.
13.2 Complainant responsibility. The complaining party is responsible for considering applicable lawful uses before making the good-faith statement required in a DMCA Notice.
13.3 User responsibility. A User responding to a copyright claim is responsible for identifying and, when appropriate, supporting any license, permission, fair-use position, public-domain status, ownership interest, or other lawful basis on which the User relies.
13.4 Textority is not a copyright tribunal. Textority may make an operational decision based on the information reasonably available without finally adjudicating a complex fair-use, authorship, ownership, license, or infringement dispute.
14. LINKS, EMBEDS, AND OTHER SERVICE FUNCTIONS
14.1 Different statutory functions. Section 512 contains separate limitations on liability for different service-provider functions, including transitory communications, system caching, storage at the direction of users, and information-location tools. The applicable legal requirements may differ depending on the Textority function involved.
14.2 Location information. A notice concerning a link, reference, embed, or other information-location function should identify the specific reference or link and provide information reasonably sufficient for Textority to locate it.
14.3 No categorical safe-harbor claim. Textority does not represent through this Policy that every Service or technical function qualifies for a particular statutory limitation on liability.
15. PRIVACY, RECORDS, AND PRESERVATION
15.1 Processing of notice information. Textority may collect, use, disclose, and retain information in DMCA Notices, Counter-Notices, correspondence, account records, and related evidence as reasonably necessary to administer this Policy, investigate abuse, maintain a repeat-infringer process, comply with law, establish or defend legal claims, and protect the Services, subject to applicable privacy and retention requirements.
15.2 Disclosure inherent in the process. A DMCA Notice may be shared with the affected User, and a compliant Counter-Notice will be forwarded to the original complaining party when the statutory process applies. Senders should not include unrelated sensitive information.
15.3 Preservation. Textority may preserve relevant material and records when required by valid legal process, litigation obligations, a lawful preservation request, fraud or abuse investigations, or another applicable legal duty.
15.4 No guarantee of permanent storage. Submission of a DMCA Notice does not create a general obligation for Textority to preserve all copies of the challenged material indefinitely. Preservation is governed by applicable law, legal process, and Textority retention requirements.
16. OTHER JURISDICTIONS AND NON-DMCA COPYRIGHT REPORTS
16.1 International rights holders. A copyright owner or authorized agent located outside the United States may use the DMCA process when seeking to invoke 17 U.S.C. § 512 with respect to Textority. The sender remains responsible for satisfying the statutory requirements.
16.2 Colombia and other jurisdictions. The DMCA does not eliminate copyright, moral rights, judicial remedies, administrative remedies, or other rights available under Colombian law or another applicable jurisdiction. Non-DMCA copyright reports may be submitted through the route identified in the Textority Intellectual Property Policy or Legal Center.
16.3 Conflicting legal obligations. If another applicable law, court order, or mandatory legal process requires different treatment of material, information, restoration, preservation, or disclosure, Textority will follow the controlling legal requirement to the extent it applies.
17. NO WAIVER OF OTHER TEXTORITY RIGHTS OR USER RIGHTS
17.1 Separate policy enforcement. Textority may act under its Terms of Service, Intellectual Property Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Community and Content Rules, Prohibited Products and Services Policy, or other applicable rules independently of the DMCA where there is a separate lawful basis.
17.2 Mandatory rights. Nothing in this Policy limits a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived, including rights available to copyright owners, alleged infringers, Users, or Textority under applicable law.
17.3 No transfer of ownership. A DMCA removal, Counter-Notice, restoration, account action, or other platform decision does not transfer copyright ownership or grant Textority ownership of User Content or Creator Content.
18. CHANGES AND ORDER OF PRECEDENCE
18.1 Prospective changes. Textority may update this Policy prospectively in accordance with the Terms of Service and applicable law.
18.2 Pending matters. A policy update does not retroactively invalidate a statutory notice or Counter-Notice that was legally sufficient when submitted, except to the extent applicable law requires otherwise.
18.3 Specific process controls. For the DMCA-specific notice, Counter-Notice, designated-agent, restoration, and repeat-infringer process, this Policy controls over more general Textority intellectual-property guidance to the extent of a conflict. Mandatory law always controls where it cannot be varied.
19. CONTACT AND DMCA SUBMISSIONS
19.1 DMCA Notices and Counter-Notices. Submit statutory DMCA Notices and DMCA Counter-Notices to the DMCA Designated Agent identified in Section 3 of this Policy. The current Designated Agent information published in the Textority Legal Center controls if the designation later changes.
19.2 General copyright questions and non-DMCA reports. General questions about this Policy or non-DMCA copyright matters may be submitted through textority.com/legal/report or to:
