This policy (Policy) explains how MVMNT handles reports of alleged intellectual property infringement on the Service. This Policy is intended to be DMCA compatible and to provide a structured process for reporting and addressing alleged infringement.
Important:
Because blockchain networks are generally public and immutable, MVMNT may be able to remove or restrict content within the Service interface while being unable to remove on-chain records.
1) Relationship to Other Policies
This Policy is part of the Policies referenced in the Terms of Service. It describes procedures for reporting alleged infringement and does not modify the governing law or dispute provisions in the Terms of Service. Privacy-related handling of notices is described in the Privacy Policy.
2) Scope
This Policy applies to alleged infringement involving content made available through the Service, including Listings, images, descriptions, NFTs and metadata displayed in the Service, token pages and metadata displayed in the Service, user-generated content, and Beneficiary materials displayed in the Service.
This Policy does not govern third-party websites, marketplaces, exchanges, or blockchains outside the Service.
3) Form-Only Submissions
All IP notices and counter-notices must be submitted using the in-Service IP reporting forms. Submissions through other channels may not be processed as valid notices under this Policy.
4) What We Can and Cannot Remove
4-1) Interface-Level Actions
We may remove, disable access to, or restrict content or Listings in the Service interface. We may restrict features, suspend, or terminate Accounts in appropriate cases.
4-2) On-Chain Limitations
We may not be able to remove or alter on-chain records. Any action taken under this Policy typically affects the Service interface and does not remove content from the blockchain itself.
5) Copyright Notices
If you believe content infringes copyright, submit a notice using the in-Service form and include:
- 5-1) Your identity and authority (owner or authorized agent)
- 5-2) Contact information as requested by the form
- 5-3) Identification of the copyrighted work
- 5-4) Identification of the allegedly infringing material (URLs, IDs, token identifiers)
- 5-5) A good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized
- 5-6) An accuracy statement
- 5-7) An electronic signature
Incomplete notices may delay action.
6) Our Response
Upon receiving a sufficiently detailed notice, we may remove or disable access to the content in the Service interface, notify the relevant User, provide information about counter-notice procedures where applicable, and take enforcement action consistent with the Terms of Service and the Policies.
We may decline to act if a notice is invalid, incomplete, abusive, or insufficiently specific.
7) Counter-Notices
If content was removed due to a copyright notice and you believe removal was a mistake, you may submit a counter-notice via the in-Service form.
A counter-notice typically includes:
- (1) Your identity
- (2) Contact information as requested by the form
- (3) Identification of the removed material and its prior location
- (4) A statement that you have a good-faith belief removal was a mistake or misidentification
- (5) Any jurisdiction consent statements presented in the form for DMCA style processing (where applicable)
- (6) An electronic signature
Where applicable, we may forward the counter-notice to the complainant. If the complainant does not provide timely evidence of legal action seeking to restrain the activity (where applicable), we may restore access in the Service interface after a reasonable period.
Restoration may not occur if content violates other policies or if the account is otherwise restricted.
8) Trademark Complaints
Trademark and counterfeit complaints may be submitted via the in-Service form and should identify the mark, the allegedly infringing content location, and the basis for the claim. We may remove listings and take enforcement action.
9) Repeat Infringer Policy
MVMNT may suspend or terminate Users determined to be repeat infringers, in our discretion, based on patterns of valid reports, severity, and corrective actions.
10) False or Abusive Reports
Submitting false, misleading, or abusive notices or counter-notices may result in restrictions and may expose you to liability.
11) Privacy and Sharing of Notices
We may share the contents of notices and counter-notices with affected parties and as necessary to process reports, enforce policies, or comply with law. See the Privacy Policy.
12) No Admission
Any action taken under this Policy is not an admission that infringement occurred. We do not adjudicate legal ownership.
13) Changes
We may update this Policy from time to time and may provide notice through the Service.
14) Contact
For all IP notices, counter-notices, and questions about this Policy, you must use the in-Service IP reporting forms or contact forms available within the Service.
