Copyright / DMCA Policy

Zo2y respects intellectual property rights and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the EU Copyright Directive (DSM Directive 2019/790, Art. 17), the UK Online Safety Act 2023, and similar laws worldwide, we have adopted the following policy.

1. Designated Agent

Notifications of claimed infringement and other communications regarding this policy should be sent to our designated agent:

We respond to valid notices within 5+�G�Gǣ10 business days.

2. Filing a Takedown Notice (17 U.S.C. +�-�512(c)(3))

To be effective, your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the rights holder or an authorized agent.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works at a single site).
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information sufficient for us to locate it on Zo2y (URL, item ID, or screenshot).
4. Your contact information: name, address, telephone, and email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on the rights holder's behalf.

We may share the substance of your notice (with personal contact details redacted) with the affected user.

3. Counter-Notice (17 U.S.C. +�-�512(g))

If we remove or restrict access to your content in response to a takedown notice, we will notify you. If you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, telephone, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or any district in which Zo2y may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and may restore the material at our discretion unless the complainant files a lawsuit within 10+�G�Gǣ14 business days.

4. Repeat-Infringer Policy

Accounts that are the subject of multiple valid takedown notices will be suspended or terminated. We maintain a record of repeat infringers as required by 17 U.S.C. +�-�512(i)(1)(A).

5. Misrepresentations (17 U.S.C. +�-�512(f))

Knowingly false claims of infringement or counter-notices are prohibited. Misrepresentations may subject the maker to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

6. EU / UK Equivalents

For users in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, the same process applies. We also comply with:

• EU Copyright Directive (2019/790), Art. 17 +�G�Gǥ liability of online content-sharing service providers.
• EU E-Commerce Directive (2000/31/EC) +�G�Gǥ notice-and-takedown for illegal content.
• UK Online Safety Act 2023 +�G�Gǥ illegal content duties.
• Germany NetzDG, France Avia Law obligations, where applicable.

Rights holders may also use the same notice form. We participate in authorized trusted flagger programs where required.

7. Trademark Complaints

For trademark (rather than copyright) concerns, follow the same procedure but address the notice to trademark@zo2y.com with subject "Trademark Notice" and include:

1. Your trademark registration number and jurisdiction.
2. The allegedly infringing use on Zo2y (URL, item ID).
3. Why you believe use is likely to cause confusion.
4. Your contact details and a good-faith statement.

8. Counterfeit Goods

Zo2y does not sell goods. If you see a list, review, or user profile that is impersonating a brand to sell counterfeit goods, please report it to abuse@zo2y.com.

9. Modifications

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or our practices. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.

Effective date: June 6, 2026. This policy is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice.
