DMCA & Copyright Takedown Policy

1. Our Role as an Intermediary

CARIUSB is operated by Powius Ltd and acts as a passive intermediary platform for user-generated content. We do not actively monitor all content submitted by users prior to publication, and we do not endorse or take editorial responsibility for user-generated content. We process takedown requests in good faith and will remove or disable access to infringing content promptly upon receiving a valid notice as described in this policy.

2. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that content available on CARIUSB infringes your copyright, you may submit a written takedown notice to our designated contact below. To be valid, your notice must include all of the following:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work: a description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list.
2. Identification of the infringing material: a description of the material you claim is infringing and its location on our platform (including the specific URL or sufficient detail to allow us to locate it).
3. Your contact information: your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. Good faith statement: 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.
5. Accuracy statement: a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
6. Signature: a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

Send your notice to: legal@cariusb.com with the subject line “Copyright Takedown Notice”.

We will acknowledge receipt of valid notices and take action promptly — typically within 5 business days. We may contact you for clarification if additional information is needed.

3. Counter-Notice Procedure

If you believe that content you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. A valid counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and its location 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 mistake or misidentification.
4. Your full name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Send counter-notices to: legal@cariusb.com with the subject line “Copyright Counter-Notice”.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the removed content at our discretion.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with applicable law and our commitment to intellectual property rights, we maintain a repeat infringer policy. We will suspend or terminate the accounts of users who are found to have repeatedly uploaded or distributed content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights. Determinations are made at our sole discretion, taking into account the number, nature, and circumstances of infringement reports.

5. Misrepresentation Warning

Please be aware that submitting a false or misleading takedown notice may expose you to legal liability, including liability for damages, costs, and legal fees incurred by us or the affected user as a result of the removal. If you are not certain whether content infringes your rights, we recommend consulting a legal professional before submitting a notice.
