sextflirt.com hosts content posted by its users. We respect intellectual-property rights and comply with the notice-and-takedown procedures of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). This page explains how to report content on sextflirt.com that you believe infringes your copyright, and how our process works.

If you are not the copyright owner, or the authorised representative of the owner, do not submit a DMCA notice. For all other content problems, use the report button on the relevant post or contact us through the Site's contact form.

1. OVERVIEW

sextflirt.com is a service provider within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) and operates under the safe harbour provisions of that section. When we receive a compliant notice of claimed copyright infringement, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material in question, notify the user who posted it, and record the notice in our moderation log.

This policy applies to any content posted on sextflirt.com, including images, videos, carousel posts, stories, and profile media.

2. BEFORE YOU FILE A NOTICE

A DMCA notice is a sworn legal statement. Think carefully before sending one.

You must be the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
You must have a good-faith belief that the use of the material on sextflirt.com is not authorised by the owner, its agent, or the law.
Filing a notice that misrepresents that material is infringing is a federal offence under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and exposes you to liability for damages, costs, and attorney's fees.

If you are unsure whether you have a valid claim, please consult a lawyer before filing.

If your complaint is about something other than copyright (impersonation, harassment, non-consensual imagery, a profile that doesn't belong to you, and so on), do not use this process. Use the in-product report button on the post or profile, and a moderator will review it.

3. HOW TO SUBMIT A TAKEDOWN NOTICE

For us to act on your notice, it must include all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or the person authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
Clear identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works at a single URL are covered by one notice, a representative list is acceptable.
Clear identification of the material that you claim is infringing, including information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it on sextflirt.com. The best way to do this is to provide the full URL of each post, story, profile, or comment in question.
Your contact information: full legal name, postal address, telephone number, and a working email address.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

Notices missing any of these elements are legally defective and we may be unable to act on them until they are corrected.

4. WHERE TO SEND YOUR NOTICE

Send complete DMCA notices to us through the contact form linked from the Site footer. Please put "DMCA Notice" in the subject line or first line of the message so it reaches our moderation team without delay.

Our registered designated agent for DMCA notices is kept on file with the U.S. Copyright Office and may be contacted through the same channel. If you need the agent's details for a formal legal filing, include that request in your message and we will respond with them.

Please do not send DMCA notices through the post button, the in-product report flow, or the comments section. They will not be processed.

5. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER WE RECEIVE A VALID NOTICE

When we receive a notice that meets the requirements in section 3, we will:

remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice as soon as reasonably possible;
notify the user who posted the material, provide them with a copy of the notice (redacted or unredacted at our discretion), and explain their options;
keep a record of the notice in our moderation log;
count the removal against the posting user's account for the purposes of our repeat-infringer policy (section 7).

If a notice is defective or clearly overbroad, we may contact you to request corrections before acting, or decline to act until the notice is made compliant.

6. COUNTER-NOTIFICATIONS

If you are the user whose content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notification. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) it must include:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location at which it appeared before removal.
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
Your full legal name, postal 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, any judicial district in which sextflirt.com may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or that person's agent.

If we receive a compliant counter-notification, we will forward a copy to the person who filed the original DMCA notice and inform them that we will restore the material after 10 business days, unless they file an action seeking a court order against you in the meantime. If they do file such an action, we will not restore the material.

7. REPEAT INFRINGER POLICY

sextflirt.com maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright. We apply this policy at our discretion and based on the moderation history of the account, not mechanically.

A user who accumulates repeated valid DMCA removals, or who demonstrates a pattern of uploading content they do not have the right to publish, will have their account permanently terminated and be prohibited from re-registering.

8. BAD-FAITH AND ABUSIVE NOTICES

DMCA notices are a legal process, not a general complaint mechanism. Filing notices you know to be inaccurate, filing notices to suppress criticism or competition, or using the DMCA process to target content you simply dislike is abusive and exposes you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

We reserve the right to reject future notices from senders with a history of demonstrably false or bad-faith claims, and to share records of such abuse with other service providers, rights-enforcement organisations, and law enforcement where appropriate.
