This Copyright Policy outlines the rules and procedures for copyright protection on Nichaza. We respect intellectual property rights and expect our community to do the same.
All content uploaded to Nichaza must be original to the creator or used with proper authorization.
Creators must possess rights to all elements of their films, including screenplay, footage, music, images, and trademarks.
Nichaza does not verify copyright ownership at the time of upload but investigates claims of infringement.
Creators are solely responsible for ensuring their content does not infringe on the copyrights of others.
Creators acknowledge that they have the right to use all material in their films, including music, images, and footage.
Creators indemnify Nichaza against copyright claims arising from their content.
Copyright holders may submit claims through our DMCA process if they believe their work has been infringed.
Claims must include specific information about the copyrighted work and the allegedly infringing content.
Frivolous or fraudulent claims may result in legal liability for the claimant.
Nichaza maintains a repeat infringer policy. Users who receive three valid copyright strikes may have their accounts permanently terminated.
A strike is counted when a DMCA claim is actioned and the counter-notice process is not initiated or is unsuccessful.
Strikes may be appealed through the counter-notice process.
Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, Nichaza will remove the allegedly infringing content promptly.
The affected creator will be notified of the removal and provided with information about the counter-notice process.
Removed content may be restored if a valid counter-notice is filed and the claimant does not file a lawsuit within 14 days.
Creators may file a counter-notice if they believe content was removed in error.
Counter-notices must be submitted in good faith and include specific information about the dispute.
If the counter-notice process is initiated, the claimant must file a court action within 14 days to maintain the takedown.
Nichaza may request verification of copyright ownership from creators in certain circumstances.
Verification may be required for high-profile content or in response to disputes.
Failure to provide verification when requested may result in content removal.
