What is the DMCA
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is a United States copyright law that provides a framework for addressing online copyright infringement. The law includes provisions that protect service providers from liability for user-generated content, provided they follow specific procedures when notified of alleged copyright violations.

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent thereof and believe that any content available through GB WhatsApp infringes your copyright, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our designated copyright agent with the following information in writing:
Required Information for DMCA Notices
A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf must be included. This signature confirms that the complaint is being filed by someone with the authority to enforce the copyrighted work in question.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed should be clearly stated. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works may be provided.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity must be included with sufficient detail to allow us to locate the material. URLs or specific descriptions of where the allegedly infringing material appears are essential.
Your contact information should include your address, telephone number, and email address so that we may contact you regarding your complaint.
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 must be included.
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Counter-Notification Procedures

Your physical or electronic signature identifying you as the user whose material has been removed or disabled.
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 disabled.

Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district, or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also limit access to our services or terminate accounts of users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
Important Disclaimers and Limitations
Third-Party Content
GB WhatsApp may allow users to share, transmit, or otherwise make available various content. We do not control the content that users share through the application and cannot take responsibility for such content. The availability of content does not constitute an endorsement by us of such content.
Fair Use Consideration
We recognize that copyright law provides for the concept of fair use, which permits limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders under certain circumstances. Before submitting a DMCA notice, we encourage copyright owners to consider whether the use of their work may constitute fair use.
False Claims
Please be aware that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages. In other words, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an attorney before filing a DMCA notice.
Processing of Notices
Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notification, we will respond expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing. We will also notify the user who posted the allegedly infringing material that we have removed or disabled access to the material.
We aim to process all valid DMCA notices within a reasonable timeframe, typically within several business days of receipt. However, processing times may vary depending on the complexity of the claim and the volume of notices received.
