⚡ 3. Automated Repeat Infringer Policy (3-Strike Rule)
Pursuant to Section 512(i)(1)(A) of the DMCA, Vidyoric strictly maintains and enforces an automated three-strike policy for registered accounts:
Strike 1: Warning
Content quarantined immediately; creator must review copyright warranty standards.
Strike 2: Probation
30-day publishing freeze and monetization payout hold; manual approval on deck updates.
Strike 3: Termination
Permanent account termination, permanent delisting of all published content, and forfeiture of infringing proceeds.
🔄 4. Counter-Notification & Content Restoration
If a content creator believes that their deck was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification (including claims of educational fair use or authorized licensing), the creator may file a statutory Counter-Notification pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3).
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we provide a copy to the original complaining party informing them that the material will be restored within 10 to 14 business days unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order restraining the creator from engaging in infringing activity.
