If you believe that content on our Site infringes your copyright, please send a written notification (a "DMCA Notice") to our Designated Copyright Agent (see Section 15). To be valid and effective, your DMCA Notice must be a written communication that includes ALL of the following:

1. Physical or Electronic Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the Copyrighted Work: A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, including the title, author, and registration number (if applicable).

4. Contact Information: Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address so we can contact you.
5. Statement of Good Faith Belief: A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.

Warning: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Please consider this before submitting a DMCA Notice.

9. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that material you submitted was removed from our Site as a result of an erroneous or invalid DMCA Notice, you may submit a counter-notification to our Designated Copyright Agent (see Section 15). Your counter-notification must be a written communication that includes all of the following:

1. Physical or Electronic Signature of the alleged infringer.
2. Identification of the Removed Material and the location on our Site where the material appeared before its removal, including the URL.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant and may, in our discretion, restore the removed material within 10–14 business days, unless the complainant files a court action to prevent restoration of the content.

10. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, FancyTech Industries has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts and access of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

A "repeat infringer" is a user who has been notified of infringing activity more than once and/or has had content removed from our Services on more than one occasion. FancyTech Industries may also, at its sole discretion, limit access to the Site or terminate accounts for users who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others.

11. Fair Use Disclaimer

Nothing in this Copyright Policy is intended to limit any rights provided by the doctrine of "fair use" under 17 U.S.C. § 107, which permits limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, research, and parody.

In determining whether a particular use qualifies as fair use, courts consider four factors: (1) the purpose and character of the use (commercial vs. educational and whether it is transformative); (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used; and (4) the effect of the use on the potential market for the original work.

FancyTech Industries does not make legal determinations regarding whether any particular use of our content constitutes fair use. If you are uncertain whether your intended use is permissible, we recommend consulting with a qualified intellectual property attorney or contacting us for written permission.

12. License Grants in Service Agreements

The licensing terms applicable to deliverables and work product created for clients under service agreements are governed by the applicable Statement of Work or Service Agreement. The following general principles apply absent a contrary provision in an executed agreement:

• Custom Deliverables: Upon receipt of full payment, FancyTech Industries assigns to the Client all rights in custom work product created specifically and exclusively for the Client.
• Background IP: FancyTech Industries retains all rights in its pre-existing intellectual property, tools, frameworks, and methodologies ("Background IP") incorporated into deliverables and grants Client a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use Background IP solely as incorporated into the deliverables.
• No Assignment Before Full Payment: No intellectual property rights transfer to the Client until all fees due under the applicable agreement have been paid in full.
• Portfolio License: FancyTech Industries retains the right to display completed work in its portfolio and marketing materials unless the Client has expressly requested confidentiality in writing.

For specific terms applicable to your engagement, please refer to your signed service agreement or contact us.

13. Enforcement

FancyTech Industries actively monitors the use of its intellectual property and will take appropriate action to enforce its rights, including but not limited to:

• Sending cease and desist letters
• Issuing DMCA takedown notices to hosting providers, search engines, and other platforms
• Seeking injunctive relief to prevent ongoing infringement
• Pursuing civil claims for copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and unfair competition
• Cooperating with law enforcement where criminal infringement is suspected

Under U.S. copyright law, willful copyright infringement may expose the infringer to statutory damages of up to $150,000 per work infringed, plus attorneys' fees and costs. We take intellectual property protection seriously and will not hesitate to enforce our rights.

14. International Copyright

FancyTech Industries' intellectual property is protected not only under United States copyright law but also under international copyright conventions and treaties, including the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, the WIPO Copyright Treaty, the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), and the Universal Copyright Convention.

These treaties provide copyright protection in most countries around the world. International users are subject to the copyright laws of their respective countries in addition to U.S. copyright law, and FancyTech Industries may enforce its rights in applicable jurisdictions globally.
