1. Copyright & IP Policy

YesMeta respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Service to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), United States copyright law, and equivalent national provisions (including Article 14–15 of the DSM Directive in the EU), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using our Service, and to counter-notices as provided under those laws.

This policy also addresses the removal or disabling of access to material alleged to be infringing, the rights of users whose material has been removed, and the procedures YesMeta follows for repeat infringers and trademark claims.

2. DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement (Copyright Owners)

If you own a copyright or are authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe material on YesMeta infringes your copyright(s), please submit a written notification ("DMCA Notice") to our Designated Copyright Agent listed below. Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a valid DMCA Notice must include all of the following:

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit YesMeta to locate the material (e.g., exact URLs of the pages or stored outputs in question).
Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you 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.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Submitting a false or inaccurate DMCA Notice may expose you to liability under Section 512(f) of the DMCA for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by YesMeta, the alleged infringer, or any copyright owner who is injured by the removal of non-infringing material.

3. Designated Copyright Agent

To submit a DMCA Notice or other copyright complaint, send it to:

YesMeta Copyright Agent
Email: support@yesmeta.com (preferred; please use subject line "DMCA Notice — [work title]")

We acknowledge receipt of every compliant DMCA Notice within 3 business days and follow the standard notice, take-down, counter-notice process below.

4. What Happens After We Receive a Valid DMCA Notice

Acknowledge & log the notice and assign a case ID.
Expeditiously remove or disable access to the material identified as infringing, or confirm it is not hosted by us (for example, third-party URLs analyzed by our tools are not "hosted content" — see Section 8 below).
Notify the user who uploaded or posted the material, where identifiable, that we have removed or disabled access and provide a copy of the DMCA Notice (redacting personal information where required by law) plus instructions on how to file a counter-notice.
Notify the complainant when the material has been removed or disabled.
Maintain records of all notices, counter-notices, and removals per the DMCA's record-keeping requirements.

5. Counter-Notice (Users Who Believe Material Was Wrongly Removed)

If you believe material you contributed was wrongly removed or disabled due to a mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our Designated Copyright Agent. A valid counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) must include all of the following:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (URLs or saved-output IDs).
Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the removal or disabling was the result of a mistake or misidentification of the material.
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 US, the courts in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as specified in our Terms of Service), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the DMCA Notice or an agent of that person.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will promptly forward a copy to the original complaining party and inform that party that we may restore the removed material in 10–14 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the provider of the material, YesMeta may — in its discretion — replace or restore access to the removed material after that waiting period.

6. Repeat Infringers

YesMeta has a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and in our sole discretion, the accounts of users who are repeatedly found to be copyright infringers (i.e., two or more separate DMCA Notices that are not successfully countered). We also reserve the right to disable access by repeat infringers and to cooperate with law enforcement where warranted.

7. Trademark & Other IP Claims

Claims of trademark infringement, passing off, trade-dress dilution, domain-name abuse, or rights of publicity/privacy should also be sent to the Designated Copyright Agent at support@yesmeta.com. Include the registered trademark number and classes (where applicable), the exact infringing material and URLs, and a description of the likelihood of confusion. We will evaluate trademark complaints using similar good-faith principles to the DMCA process (notice — user notification — counter-statement — decision).

8. Tools That Analyze Third-Party Content

Many YesMeta tools (SEO audit, meta-tag extraction, screenshot, redirect check, security-headers scan, etc.) operate by making automated HTTPS requests to URLs submitted by users and then displaying a derivative report about the publicly accessible responses from those third-party origins. Important notes about those reports:

YesMeta does not "host", "store", or "reproduce" the third-party site's original copyrighted content (images, full articles, videos, media). We request each page like any user's browser would, parse the publicly transmitted HTTP response headers, HTML, and metadata, display a summary of findings, and retain only the parsed metadata in our tool-history records.
If you believe a saved YesMeta tool report still contains a specific infringing snippet (for example, because a site owner included copyrighted text in a page title, meta-description, or OG image), submit a DMCA Notice identifying the exact tool-history URL and the snippet in question, and we will remove that specific saved output in accordance with Section 4 above.
Live, on-demand scans (the results shown to you during a fresh tool run) are not "material stored on the system or network" — they are ephemeral. Your DMCA or trademark complaint against those should, where applicable, also be directed at the origin website that serves the content in question.

9. Updates

We may update this Copyright/IP & DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, process, or services offered. Any material updates will be flagged with a new effective date and (when appropriate) notified via in-product banner to registered users.
