1. Draft status and Canada framing
This Copyright and IP Reporting Policy is a practical operating draft and must be reviewed by a qualified Canadian IP lawyer before launch. Vibeler should not present this as a DMCA-only process. Canada has a Copyright Act and a notice-and-notice framework, and Vibeler may also voluntarily remove or disable access to content where appropriate.
2. What to include in a report
- Your name, organization if any, mailing address, email address, and phone number.
- Identification of the copyrighted work, trademark, personality right, confidential material, or other right you claim is infringed.
- The Vibeler URL, creator Stage, channel, content ID, media item, product, course, event, comment, review, or newsletter at issue.
- A concise explanation of why you believe the use is unauthorized or unlawful.
- A statement that the information in your report is accurate and that you are the rightsholder or authorized to act for the rightsholder.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
3. How Vibeler may respond
Vibeler may ask for more information, forward an appropriate notice to the user or creator, preserve records, remove or disable access to content, restrict monetization, suspend repeat infringers, or decline action where the report is incomplete, abusive, unsupported, or outside Vibeler's role.
Where Canadian notice-and-notice obligations apply, Vibeler should handle notices in a manner consistent with the Copyright Act and related regulations. Lawyer review is required before launch to finalize forwarding, retention, counter-response, and repeat-infringer mechanics.
4. Responses from creators or users
If content is removed or restricted, the affected creator or user may provide context, authorization, license evidence, fair dealing arguments, public-domain status, ownership information, or other relevant information. Vibeler may restore, keep restricted, or require the parties to resolve the dispute elsewhere.
5. Where to send reports
Send copyright and IP reports to [email protected] with the subject line 'Copyright/IP Report'. Do not use this process for urgent safety issues, security vulnerabilities, or general abuse reports.
