DMCA / Copyright Policy
Last updated: April 24, 2026
LatinaUGC respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using our platform that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent.
Designated Copyright Agent
The following agent is designated to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)).
Designated DMCA Agent
Thomas Burkhart
Copyright Agent for LatinaUGC
This Designated Agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2). The official registration can be verified at dmca.copyright.gov.
How to submit a DMCA takedown notice
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notification must be in writing and must include all of the following elements:
- 1
Identification of the copyrighted work
A clear description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple works on our site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works is acceptable.
- 2
Identification of the infringing material
A description of the material that you claim is infringing and where it is located on the LatinaUGC platform, sufficient for us to locate it — this must include the URL(s) of the allegedly infringing content.
- 3
Your contact information
Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address so that we (and, where appropriate, the subscriber whose material is challenged) can contact you.
- 4
Good-faith statement
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- 5
Accuracy statement under penalty of perjury
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- 6
Physical or electronic signature
Your physical or electronic signature (a typed full legal name counts as an electronic signature).
Send your completed notification to the Designated Agent listed above. We will act on properly formed notifications expeditiously, which typically means removing or disabling access to the material in question and notifying the affected user.
Counter-notification
If content of yours has been removed from the platform in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was in error or that you are authorized to use the material, you may submit a counter-notification to the Designated Agent that complies with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Your counter-notification must include your physical or electronic signature; identification of the removed material and the location where it previously appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, and telephone number, along with 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 your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which LatinaUGC may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant.
Repeat infringers
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), LatinaUGC has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at its sole discretion, accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We also reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to limit access to our platform and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual-property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing — or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by LatinaUGC, the alleged infringer, or the copyright owner. False claims of infringement are a serious matter; if you are not sure whether a use is infringing, consult an attorney first.
