DMCA / Copyright Policy

Last updated: July 26, 2026

1. Our Commitment to Copyright

[LEGAL ENTITY NAME — insert the registered business name that operates Eden Rose] respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects members to do the same. All photographs, video, and magazine content on Eden Rose / After Dark Magazine at edenroseafterdark.com (the “Site”) are either owned by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME — insert the registered business name that operates Eden Rose] or used under license, and are protected from unauthorized copying and redistribution as described in our Terms and Conditions. This policy explains how to report a good-faith belief that material on the Site infringes your copyright, in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. §512.

2. Designated Agent

Notices of claimed copyright infringement should be sent to our Designated Agent:

[DESIGNATED AGENT NAME]
[LEGAL ENTITY NAME — insert the registered business name that operates Eden Rose]
[MAILING ADDRESS]
Email: [DMCA AGENT EMAIL]
Phone: [DMCA AGENT PHONE]

Before this policy goes live, this agent must also be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office’s DMCA Designated Agent Directory at dmca.copyright.gov — an unregistered agent does not qualify the Site for DMCA safe-harbor protection.

3. Filing a Takedown Notice

To be effective, a notice of claimed infringement must be in writing and include substantially the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3):

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (for example, the specific URL);
• Your contact information — name, address, telephone number, and email address;
• 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; and
• 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.

Notices that do not substantially comply with these requirements may not receive a response.

4. What Happens Next

Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will remove or disable access to the identified material and make a good-faith effort to notify the member responsible, if applicable.

5. Counter-Notification

If you believe material you posted or that is associated with your account was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our Designated Agent containing, per 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3):

• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the material and its location before it was removed or disabled;
• 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;
• Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which the Site may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material within 10 to 14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

Sharing, redistributing, or otherwise leaking Site content in violation of our Terms and Conditions is treated as copyright infringement of [LEGAL ENTITY NAME — insert the registered business name that operates Eden Rose]’s own content, in addition to a breach of those Terms. Accounts found responsible for repeated infringement will be permanently terminated.

7. False Claims

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed or disabled by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.
