Copyright notices

Effective September 5, 2026 · Class Company US, Inc.

The short version

If someone put your copyrighted work on a page, room, or file we host and you did not allow it, email contact@classcompanyus.com with the details listed below. We review every complete notice promptly, take the material down, and tell the person who posted it. They can answer with a counter-notice; if they do and you do not take them to court, the material goes back up 10 to 14 business days later. Accounts that keep infringing are closed. This page follows the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. section 512.

1. Who this page is for

If you own a copyright, or act for someone who does, and you believe a photo, text, artwork, video, music, or other work appears on our Service without permission, this page tells you how to reach us and what to include. "The Service" means everything Class Company US, Inc. hosts: the Tarvis app, team rooms, published event pages, member portals, and the files people upload to them.

This is not the fastest path for everything. If the problem is an intimate image of you, your face or likeness, or private information about you, use our Removal page instead. It needs no copyright claim and no account, and it runs on a 48-hour clock.

2. Where to send a notice

Email contact@classcompanyus.com with the subject line "DMCA notice". Plain text in the body of the email is best. Screenshots are welcome as attachments, but the link to the material is what lets us act quickly. Notices sent to our designated agent below reach the same people.

3. What a notice must contain

Federal law (17 U.S.C. section 512(c)(3)) lists six things a valid notice needs. We cannot act on an incomplete notice, so a missing piece slows things down; if something is missing we will write back and ask for it.

Your signature. Typing your full name at the end of the email counts as an electronic signature. The signer must be the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner.
The work you say was infringed. Name it or describe it. If one notice covers several works on our Service, a representative list is enough.
The material you want removed, and where it is. Paste the exact web address (link) of the page, room, file, or image. We need enough to find it without guessing.
How to reach you. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
A good-faith statement, in words like these: "I have a good faith belief that the use of the material described above is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
An accuracy statement under penalty of perjury, in words like these: "The information in this notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."

Before you send. Think about whether the use might be allowed, for example as fair use, a short quotation, or a use you licensed. Under 17 U.S.C. section 512(f), a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing can be liable for damages, including our costs and the costs of the person whose material was removed.

4. Notice template

Signed: [type your full name] Date: [date]

5. Our designated agent

The law asks us to name an agent who receives copyright notices and to list that agent in the U.S. Copyright Office's DMCA Designated Agent Directory. Our listing is in progress. Until it is live, a notice sent to the email below is handled exactly as a notice to the agent would be.

Agent: [designated agent: registration pending]
Company: Class Company US, Inc.
Street address: [physical street address: pending]
Phone: [phone: pending]
Email: contact@classcompanyus.com, subject "DMCA notice"

This block is updated the day the Copyright Office listing is confirmed.

6. What happens after we receive a notice

We confirm we received it, usually the same business day.
If the notice is complete, we remove the material or disable access to it promptly, and tell you we did.
We tell the person who posted the material that it was removed and why, and we give them a copy of your notice. The law requires this, so the notice you send, including your name and contact details, will be shared with them.
We record the notice against that person's account. See Repeat infringers below.
If the notice is incomplete, we ask for the missing pieces before acting.
We do not decide who owns what. We follow the notice and counter-notice process the law sets out, and we act in good faith toward both sides.

7. If your material was removed: counter-notice

If we removed something you posted and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification (for example, you own the work, you have a license, or the use is allowed by law), you can send a counter-notice. Email contact@classcompanyus.com with the subject "DMCA counter-notice". Under 17 U.S.C. section 512(g)(3), it must include:

Your signature. Typing your full name counts.
What was removed and where it was. Identify the material and where it appeared before it was removed (the link in the notice we sent you, or a description).
This statement, under penalty of perjury: "I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled."
Your name, address, and telephone number.
Consent to court jurisdiction. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if you live outside the United States, any judicial district in which Class Company US, Inc. may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

What happens next.

We send a copy of your counter-notice, including your name and contact details, to the person who sent the original notice.
We tell them the material will be restored in 10 business days unless they tell us they have filed a court action to keep it down.
If we do not hear that a court action was filed, we restore the material no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after we receive your counter-notice.
If they tell us a court action was filed, the material stays down until the court decides.

A counter-notice starts a legal process, and a false counter-notice can carry liability under 17 U.S.C. section 512(f). If you are unsure, talk to a lawyer first.

8. Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe. Here is how we count.

A strike. Each valid notice we act on is recorded as a strike against the account that posted the material. A strike is cleared if a counter-notice succeeds and the material is restored.
First strike. The material comes down, and the account receives a written warning with a link to this page.
Second strike. The material comes down, and we may pause the account's ability to publish pages or share files while we review.
Third strike in any 12-month period. We close the account. Pages, rooms, and files it published come down with it.
Sooner when warranted. We may close an account before the third strike in appropriate circumstances, for example when it posts plainly infringing material at scale, or when a court orders us to.
Records. Notices, counter-notices, and strikes are kept on file so the count is accurate.

9. Trademarks and other rights

This page is about copyright. If a page uses your trademark, your business name, or your identity in a way that misleads people, email contact@classcompanyus.com with the subject "Trademark complaint", the link, and what you own. For your own likeness or private information, use the Removal page.

10. Text Tarvis helped write

Tarvis, our AI assistant, can draft the words on a page or in a message. The person who publishes that text is its author for our purposes and is responsible for it and for everything they add to it: photos, names, event details, and the permissions those need. We do not claim copyright in text Tarvis generates for a user beyond what the law allows, and a copyright notice about such text is handled the same way as any other.
