Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy

If you believe content on Risus infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, submit a written notice to legal@risus.io.

U.S. copyright notices should be directed to the DMCA agent identified on this page once the agent's full registered contact details are published.

A valid notice should include:

• identification of the copyrighted work or other intellectual-property right claimed to be infringed;
• identification and exact location or URL of the allegedly infringing material, with enough information for Risus to locate it;
• the reporting party's full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
• a good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or law;
• a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and that the reporting party is the rights owner or authorized to act for the owner;
• a physical or electronic signature of the rights owner or authorized representative.

Risus may remove or disable access to reported content while a claim is reviewed, notify the affected user, preserve relevant records, and forward the notice or relevant details as permitted by law.

If you believe material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to legal@risus.io containing:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the removed or disabled material and the location where it appeared before removal;
• a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification;
• your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
• for a U.S. DMCA counter-notification, consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate U.S. federal district court and acceptance of service of process from the original complainant or that person's agent.

Risus reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts of repeat intellectual property infringers or users who misuse the intellectual property reporting process.
