Copyright Policy
Last updated 2026-07-21
ONTHEBIAS respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects users to do the same. This page explains how to report content on the platform that you believe infringes your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property rights, and how a user whose content has been removed can respond.
1. Sending a notice of infringement
If you are the rights holder or an authorized agent, send a written notice to the address below that includes:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property you claim has been infringed (or a representative list, if you are notifying about multiple works).
- Identification of the material you claim is infringing, and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it (URLs work best).
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on the rights holder's behalf.
Send the notice to info@onthebias.co, or by mail to the address at the bottom of this page. We may reject notices that are incomplete, false, or abusive, and we may forward the notice (including your contact information) to the user whose content is at issue.
2. What happens next
On receipt of a valid notice we will remove or disable access to the material within a reasonable time, notify the user who posted it, and provide them with a copy of the notice. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.
3. Counter-notice
If your content has been removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to info@onthebias.co that includes:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that has been removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the US federal district court for the district where you reside (or, if outside the US, for the District of Delaware), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.
If we receive a valid counter-notice we will forward it to the party that sent the original notice. If the original party does not sue you within 10 business days, we may restore the removed material.
4. Trademark and other IP claims
If your claim involves a trademark, right of publicity, trade dress, or other non-copyright right rather than a copyright, follow the same process at info@onthebias.co and provide the equivalent information (proof of your right, description of the alleged infringement, URLs, and a signed statement).
5. Repeat-infringer policy
We will terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights. We track valid notices per account and act on them; we do not require a fixed number of strikes to terminate.
6. Designated agent
For DMCA purposes, our designated agent for notices of claimed infringement is: Copyright Agent, ONTHEBIAS, Inc., info@onthebias.co. We are in the process of registering the agent with the US Copyright Office; until registration is complete, please use the email address above.
7. Misuse of the process
Filing a false or bad-faith notice or counter-notice may expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) or equivalent law for damages, including attorneys' fees. Please only submit a notice you can back up.
