DMCA / Copyright Policy

1. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that content on Staje infringes your copyright, please send a written DMCA takedown notice to our Designated DMCA Agent at the contact information below. To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following:

1. An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest.
2. A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
3. A description of where the allegedly infringing material is located on Staje (e.g., the URL of the page containing the material).
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement by you that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Send your DMCA notice to: dmca@staje.app

Note: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be subject to liability. Do not submit false takedown notices.

2. What Happens After We Receive Your Notice

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will:

1. Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
2. Notify the user who uploaded the content that it has been removed.
3. Provide that user with a copy of your notice (with your personal contact information redacted if requested).
4. Inform them of their right to submit a counter-notice.

3. Counter-Notice

If you believe your content was removed in error or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our Designated DMCA Agent. A valid counter-notice must include:

1. Your electronic or physical signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number.
5. 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 are outside the US, to any judicial district in which Staje may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original takedown notice.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If we do not receive notice within 10–14 business days that the complainant is seeking a court order, we may restore the removed material.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

Staje will terminate the accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers of copyright. We define a "repeat infringer" as any user who has had content removed in response to two or more valid DMCA notices, or who has been found to be infringing through other means.

5. Show Library Content

Staje's show library contains information about theatrical productions (titles, character lists, show descriptions). If you are the rights holder of a specific show and believe information in our show library is inaccurate or infringes your rights, please contact us at dmca@staje.app with details and we will address your concern promptly.

6. Designated DMCA Agent

We respond to DMCA notices sent by email only. Please do not send notices to other contact addresses as they may not be monitored for this purpose.
