DMCA Policy.
How copyright claims work on our website and in our community — notices, counter-notices, and our repeat-infringer policy.
Last updated: May 2026
Clique Agency Pty Ltd (ABN 89 642 973 322) (“Clique”, “we”, “us”, “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our website, services, and community to do the same.
This Policy explains how we handle claims of copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and equivalent obligations in other jurisdictions.
About This Policy
This Policy applies to material posted, uploaded, transmitted, or otherwise made available through:
- Our website at clique.agency and any related properties we operate
- Our private community spaces (including any membership platform, forum, or chat we host)
- Any user-generated content submitted through forms, comments, uploads, or messages on our platforms
If you believe material on any Clique-operated platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notice as described in Section 3.
Designated Agent
For purposes of the DMCA, our Designated Copyright Agent is:
- Name: Clique Agency Pty Ltd — DMCA Agent
- Mail: 6/14 Rothcote Ct, Burleigh Heads, QLD 4220, Australia
- Web: contact form — select “DMCA Notice” as the topic
This contact information is filed with the U.S. Copyright Office Designated Agent Directory in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2).
How To Submit A Notice
To submit a valid DMCA takedown notice, your written communication must include all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorised to act on their behalf
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works)
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it (e.g., URL, post ID, file name, screenshot)
- Your contact information — full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf
Submit the notice through our contact form with the topic “DMCA Notice”, or by mail to the Designated Agent address above.
Incomplete notices may delay action or be returned for correction.
What Happens After Notice
On receipt of a valid notice, we will:
- Acknowledge receipt within a reasonable time
- Investigate the claim and, where appropriate, expeditiously remove or disable access to the material
- Take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material, including providing them a copy of the takedown notice and an opportunity to submit a counter-notice
- Track the claim against our repeat-infringer log (see Section 6)
We may, in our reasonable discretion, decline to act on notices that are clearly defective, abusive, or that we believe are submitted in bad faith.
How To Submit A Counter‑Notice
If you believe material you posted was removed in error — for example, because of fair use, licence, or misidentification — you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).
A valid counter-notice must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location where it appeared before removal
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the district in which your address is located (or, if outside the U.S., the U.S. federal district court for any district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice, or that person’s agent
Submit through our contact form with the topic “DMCA Counter-Notice”, or by mail to the Designated Agent address.
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless the complainant files a court action seeking a restraining order against the user within 10–14 business days, we may restore the removed material.
Repeat Infringer Policy
We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, terminate the accounts of users we determine to be repeat infringers.
We track DMCA takedown notices against user accounts. Receipt of multiple valid takedown notices against the same account, or a single clear case of egregious infringement, may result in:
- Removal of the offending material
- Temporary suspension of the account
- Permanent termination of the account and forfeiture of any membership fees paid for the unused portion of the term
- Blocking the user from creating future accounts
This Policy applies to all Clique-operated platforms, including our private community.
False Or Bad‑Faith Claims
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that material was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or us.
Submitting a DMCA notice is a serious legal action. If you are not certain you hold (or are authorised to enforce) the relevant rights, consult an attorney before sending us a notice.
Modifications
We may update this Policy from time to time. The current version is always posted at this page, with the “Last updated” date at the top.
