Copyright Policy

Swap Soul respects copyright and expects Swap Soul users to do the same. Only upload pictures, artwork, voices and other material you own or have the right to use.

Reporting infringement (DMCA notice)

If you believe material stored in or shown through Swap Soul infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent or through the takedown form. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), it must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature (or that of someone authorised to act for the owner).
• A description of the copyrighted work you believe was infringed.
• Where the material is, in enough detail for us to find it (account, link, look name, date).
• Your name, address, phone number and email.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe it was a mistake or you have permission, you can send a counter-notice with your signature, a description of what was removed and where it was, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, your name, address and phone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, outside the US, any place where Swap Soul may be found).

We send a copy of the counter-notice (including the contact details in it) to the person who sent the original notice, and may restore the material 10–14 business days later unless they tell us they have started a court action.

When we remove material after a notice, we tell the account holder what was removed and why.

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe copyright.

Outside the United States

Send the same information wherever you are; we handle notices under the law that applies to you. Knowingly false notices can make you liable for damages. Questions: our contact form.
