LiftClub respects copyright, and we expect everyone who uses it to do the same. This policy explains how we handle copyright complaints under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). It is part of our Terms of Use.
It covers anything people put into LiftClub: profile photos, posts and captions, custom exercises, shared workouts and programs, and share links.
Our designated agent
We have registered a designated agent with the US Copyright Office. Send copyright notices and counter-notices to:
Shubham Sharma, LiftClub
Email: reports@liftclubapp.com
Email is fastest. Please put “Copyright notice” in the subject line.
This contact is only for copyright. For anything else, such as a person, a post or a share link that breaks the Community Guidelines, use Report in the app or email reports@liftclubapp.com. For help with the app, email support@liftclubapp.com.
Reporting infringement
If you believe content on LiftClub infringes a copyright you own, or one you’re authorised to act for, send our agent a notice that includes:
- your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is enough);
- the copyrighted work you say is infringed, or a list of works if there are several;
- the content you say infringes it, and enough detail for us to find it: a share link, or the person’s handle and the post;
- your name, postal address, phone number and email;
- a statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn’t authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
- a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you’re the copyright owner or authorised to act for them.
A notice missing any of these may not be valid, and we may ask you to complete it.
What happens next
- We act promptly. When we receive a valid notice, we remove or disable access to the content.
- We tell the person who posted it. We let them know what was removed and why, and we may send them a copy of your notice, including your name and contact details, so they can respond.
- We keep a record of the notice and what we did.
If your content was removed
If we removed your content after a notice and you believe it was a mistake, or that you have the right to use it, you can send our agent a counter-notice that includes:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- the content that was removed and where it appeared before it was removed;
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith the content was removed by mistake or misidentification;
- your name, address and phone number; and
- a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the US federal district court for your address (or, if you’re outside the US, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you’ll accept service of process from the person who sent the notice, or their agent.
We send a copy of your counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they’ve started a court action to stop you, we may restore the content 10 to 14 business days after we receive your counter-notice.
Repeat infringers
We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe copyright. We may also remove content or restrict an account after a single notice where that’s appropriate.
False claims
Under the DMCA, anyone who knowingly misrepresents that content infringes, or that it was removed by mistake, can be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. If you’re not sure whether something infringes your rights, consider getting legal advice before sending a notice.
Changes
We may update this policy, for example if our designated agent’s details change. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
