Copyright / DMCA Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-06

Log Off Club respects intellectual-property rights. We respond to valid notices of copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions.

1. How to file a copyright notice

If you believe content on Log Off Club infringes your copyright, send a written notice to dmca@thelogoffclub.com that includes all of the following — these are the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g., title, registration number, or a URL of where the original is published).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing — sufficient for us to locate it. The most reliable way is the in-app URL or a screenshot showing the username and content.
4. Your contact information: full legal name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material 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 copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Note: under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer or by us.

2. What we do when we receive a notice

1. We review the notice for completeness — incomplete notices will be returned with instructions.
2. If the notice appears valid, we remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material in a reasonable time.
3. We notify the user who posted the material, forward them a copy of the notice (with your contact information so they can pursue a counter-notice), and tell them how to file a counter-notice.
4. We log the action against the posting user's account for our repeat-infringer policy (see §4).

3. Counter-notice

If you are a Log Off Club user whose content was removed under a DMCA notice and you believe in good faith the removal was an error or that you have a right to use the material, you may file a counter-notice. Send it to the same address (dmca@thelogoffclub.com) including all of the following — required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which 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 a mistake or misidentification.
4. Your full legal name, address, and phone number, plus a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of (i) the U.S. federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or (ii) if your address is outside the U.S., any judicial district in which Log Off Club may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or their agent.

If you submit a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action seeking a restraining order against you within 10–14 business days of our forwarding the counter-notice, we will restore the removed material.

4. Repeat-infringer policy

We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual-property rights.

Receiving multiple substantiated DMCA notices over time, or a single high-severity infringement (e.g., commercial-scale infringement of an entire copyrighted work), may result in account termination. Counter-notices that are followed by withdrawal of the original complaint or that are not contested in court do not count against the user.

5. Other intellectual-property concerns

For trademark, trade-dress, publicity-rights, or other intellectual-property concerns that are not copyright matters, contact logoffclubcontact@gmail.com with a description of the right and the alleged infringement.

6. Designated agent (Copyright Office filing)

Our DMCA designated agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Notice may be served on the agent at the email address above. Postal address available on request to the agent email.

7. Bad-faith notices

Filing a knowingly false DMCA notice is illegal and may result in liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). We may share evidence of bad-faith notices with the affected user and with law enforcement. Repeated bad-faith notices may result in our refusal to process further notices from the same complainant.
