Copyright Policy (DMCA)

UMW Recordings Inc. ("UMW Recordings," "we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and takes copyright protection seriously. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of the United States (17 U.S.C. § 512) (the “DMCA”), this policy establishes a clear, professional, and legally compliant framework for the submission, review, and handling of copyright infringement notices and counter‑notifications.

This policy is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

1. Scope and Nature of the Service

This policy applies to all content made available on, through, or in connection with the platforms, services, websites, and tools operated by UMW Recordings Inc. (the “Platform”), including content provided by users, artists, contributors, licensors, and other third parties.

To the extent UMW Recordings Inc. operates qualifying online services under 17 U.S.C. § 512, including user-submitted materials, online tools, links, catalog pages, or hosted promotional content, UMW maintains this policy to receive and process copyright notices and counter-notifications.

2. Designated Copyright Agent

Pursuant to the DMCA, UMW Recordings Inc. has designated a copyright agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement.

Designated DMCA Agent: Copyright Compliance Department

‍Service Provider: UMW Recordings Inc.

‍Email:dmca@umwrecordingsinc.com‍

‍Phone: 0968016285

‍Address: Av. Francisco de Orellana 090512 Guayaquil

Web Form: DMCA

DMCA notices should be submitted through the contact information above or through the official DMCA web form. Notices submitted through incomplete, incorrect, or informal channels may be delayed or may not be processed if they do not substantially comply with the DMCA’s requirements.

3. Notification of Claimed Infringement (DMCA Notice)

If you have a good‑faith belief that any content available on the Platform infringes a copyright that you own or are authorized to enforce, you may submit a written notification (a “DMCA Notice”) that includes substantially the following information:

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, or, if multiple works are involved, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to permit its location (such as specific URLs, content IDs, or other relevant technical identifiers).
4. Contact information for the complaining party, including full legal name, postal address, telephone number, and, where available, email address.
5. A statement that the complaining party has 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 that the information in the notification is accurate.
7. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner whose rights are allegedly infringed.

Please note: We may forward DMCA Notices and Counter-Notifications (including the personal information you provide) to the relevant parties as required to process the request and comply with the DMCA.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA Notice, UMW will respond expeditiously by removing or disabling access to the identified material where required by applicable law.

4. Review, Processing, and Discretion

UMW Recordings Inc. reviews DMCA Notices in a commercially reasonable and diligent manner. However:

• We reserve the right to request additional information to verify the validity of any notice.
• We may reject notices that are incomplete, abusive, or manifestly unfounded.
• All actions taken in response to a DMCA Notice are carried out at our reasonable discretion and in accordance with applicable law.

Nothing in this policy requires UMW Recordings Inc. to make final legal determinations regarding ownership or infringement.

5. Counter‑Notification

If you believe that content you posted on the Platform was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter‑notification (a “Counter‑Notification”) to the designated copyright agent. The Counter‑Notification must include substantially the following information:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
3. Your contact information, including full legal name, postal address, telephone number, and, where available, email address.
4. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good‑faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
5. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if you reside outside the United States, for any judicial district in which UMW Recordings Inc. may be found, and agreeing to accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA Notice or their agent.

In accordance with the DMCA, UMW Recordings Inc. may restore the removed content no sooner than ten (10) business days and no later than fourteen (14) business days following receipt of a valid Counter‑Notification, unless the original complaining party provides notice that a court action has been filed.

6. Misrepresentations and Abuse of Process

Any person who knowingly makes materially false statements in a DMCA Notice or Counter‑Notification may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, pursuant to Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

UMW Recordings Inc. reserves the right to take additional action against parties who abuse or misuse the DMCA process.

7. Repeat Infringer Policy

UMW may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts that receive multiple valid copyright notices, submit repeated unauthorized content, provide false rights declarations, attempt to evade prior removals, or show a pattern of infringing conduct.

Where a copyright notice, counter-notification, ownership dispute, Content ID conflict, repeat infringement matter, or rights-related claim affects royalties, monetization, catalog control, or payout eligibility, UMW may temporarily hold, reserve, delay, suspend, or restrict related royalties, payout requests, account balances, or payment functions while the matter is under review, subject to the Terms & Conditions, Anti-Fraud Policy, and Royalty Payment Policy.

8. Third‑Party Content and Contractual Rights

UMW Recordings Inc. is not responsible for content hosted, linked, or distributed by third parties outside of the Platform.

Nothing in this policy limits or affects any rights of UMW Recordings Inc. arising from licensing, publishing, distribution, or other commercial agreements.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This DMCA Policy applies only to copyright notice-and-takedown procedures, counter-notifications, and repeat infringer handling under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act where applicable. Contractual, commercial, billing, distribution, publishing, and service-related disputes remain governed by UMW’s Terms & Conditions and applicable agreements, including Ecuadorian law and dispute resolution in Guayaquil, Ecuador, unless mandatory law requires otherwise.

10. Changes to This Policy

UMW Recordings Inc. reserves the right to modify or update this policy at any time to reflect legal, regulatory, technical, or operational changes. Any such changes will be effective upon posting on the Platform.
