Copyright and DMCA Policy
Cadence respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. This page explains how rights holders can submit takedown notices and how users can file counter-notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
1. User responsibilities
Cadence does not provide musical compositions, sound recordings, or lyrics. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the rights necessary to upload any audio, lyrics, artwork, or other material you submit, and to publish or distribute the videos you render. Uploading material you do not have rights to is a violation of our Terms of Service.
2. Filing a takedown notice
If you believe content rendered or hosted through Cadence infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to the address below that includes:
- A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with information sufficient to locate it (such as a project URL or rendered-video URL).
- Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, and email).
- 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.
- 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 owner's behalf.
Send notices to hello@itsyourcadence.com. Cadence's designated DMCA agent of record is being registered with the U.S. Copyright Office; the registered agent details will be published here once registration is complete.
3. Counter-notification
If your content was removed or disabled and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the same email address with:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal.
- 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.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which Cadence may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or their agent.
4. Repeat infringers
Cadence will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers.
5. Misrepresentations
Knowingly submitting false takedown or counter-notification claims may result in liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
