If our copyrighted materials are used without permission, we will take immediate action, including submitting DMCA Takedown Notices to platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Google, and other relevant websites.
2. How to Report Copyright Infringement
If we discover any unauthorized use of our copyrighted materials, we will submit a DMCA Notice containing:
- Identification of the copyrighted content that is being infringed (e.g., company logo, video, images).
- Identification of the infringing material (URLs, screenshots, or video timestamps) where the violation occurs.
