DMCA Policy

1. What Is the DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), enacted by U.S. Congress in 1998, provides a “Safe Harbor” for online service providers like us shaping a structured notice-and-takedown process that protects copyright owners while limiting our liability so long as we respond appropriately.

2. Who This Applies To

This policy covers all content on WanderersWorld.com, especially any user-contributed content (comments, photos, forum posts). We respect intellectual property rights please do the same.

3. How to File a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe your copyrighted work is being used without authorization, please submit a written DMCA Notice containing all of the following required information, in compliance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

  1. Signature: Your electronic or physical signature.
  2. Work Identification: Clear description of the copyrighted work.
  3. Infringing Content: URL(s) or location of the infringing material on WanderersWorld.com.
  4. Your Contact Info: Full name, mailing address, telephone number, email.
  5. Good Faith Statement: “I have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”
  6. Accuracy Pledge: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate, and that I am the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.”
  7. Agent Consent: A declaration that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

4. DMCA Counter-Notice

If your content has been removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice including:

  • Your signature
  • Description and location of the removed material
  • Statement: “I consent to the jurisdiction of [your federal district court]”
  • Statement under penalty of perjury: “I have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.”

Once received, we may restore the content within 10–14 business days, unless the original claimant files a legal action.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

WanderersWorld.com complies with our legal obligations regarding repeat infringers. Users found repeatedly infringing copyrights may have their posting or site-access privileges revoked—at our sole discretion.

6. What Happens Next

  • Valid Notice: We will promptly remove or disable access to the infringing content.
  • Notification: We will notify the user who posted the content.
  • Counter Notice Received: We will follow the 10–14 day counter-notice reinstatement process.

7. Important Legal Notice

  • Misrepresenting infringement can expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) for damages, legal costs, and attorney fees.
  • This policy only covers copyright infringement—not trademarks, privacy, or defamation.

8. Accessibility
