Service Provider of record: Lesuto Technologies, Inc., 600 Congress Ave, STE 1400, Austin, TX 78701. DMCA Designated Agent registration number DMCA-1071620.
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees incurred by us, the alleged infringer, or any copyright owner or authorized licensee who is injured by such misrepresentation.
3. Processing of Takedown Notices
Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, Lesuto will take the following actions:
- Removal or disabling: We will expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
- Notification to the user: We will notify the user who posted the allegedly infringing material that it has been removed or disabled, and provide them with a copy of the takedown notice.
- Record keeping: We will maintain records of all DMCA notices received and actions taken.
4. Counter-Notification
If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to our designated copyright agent. Your counter-notification must include the following:
- Identification of the material: Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
- Good faith statement: A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
- Your contact information: Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- Consent to jurisdiction: A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Lesuto may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
- Physical or electronic signature: Your physical or electronic signature.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party. If the original complaining party does not file a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days of receiving the counter-notification, we will restore the removed material or re-enable access to it.
5. Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i) and our commitment to protecting intellectual property rights, Lesuto has adopted and reasonably implements a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. Our repeat infringer policy operates as follows:
- First strike: The infringing content is removed and the user receives a formal written warning describing the violation.
- Second strike (within 12 months): The infringing content is removed and the user's account is temporarily suspended pending review. The user is required to acknowledge the policy before reinstatement.
- Third strike (within 12 months): The user's account is permanently terminated. Any pending payouts may be withheld as permitted by law and our Terms of Service. Stores, products, posts, and other content owned by the terminated account may also be removed.
Strikes are tracked internally on a rolling 12-month basis from the date the takedown was processed. A strike is cleared if a counter-notification results in restoration of the content, if the original notice is withdrawn by the claimant, or if Lesuto determines after review that the notice was invalid. We reserve the right to terminate any account at any time for copyright infringement, regardless of the number of prior strikes, if we determine that such action is warranted under the circumstances (for example, a single egregious or willful infringement).
6. Trademark Complaints
While this policy specifically addresses copyright infringement under the DMCA, we also take trademark infringement seriously. If you believe that content on the Lesuto platform infringes your trademark rights, please contact us at legal@lesuto.com with the following information:
- A description of the trademark you claim is being infringed, including the registration number if applicable.
- Identification of the content you believe infringes your trademark, including URLs.
- An explanation of how the content constitutes trademark infringement.
- Your contact information and a statement of authority.
7. Modifications to This Policy
We may update this DMCA Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on the Services and updating the "Last Updated" date.
8. User-Generated Content and Music
Lesuto allows users to upload videos, images, audio, and other content (collectively, "User Content") to features such as Reels (Scenes), Stories, Posts, livestreams, product reviews, and store assets. By uploading User Content you represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights, licenses, and consents to do so, including with respect to any music, sound recording, voice, image, trademark, or likeness embedded in or accompanying that content.
Music in particular. You are solely responsible for the music you include in your uploads. Pre-recorded commercial music is generally protected by copyright and may not be used without a license, even if you purchased the underlying recording. To make compliant content easier, Lesuto provides an in-app music library of tracks that are owned or licensed by Lesuto for use within the Services. We strongly encourage all users to use the Lesuto music library, AI-generated audio provided through the Services, royalty-free audio they can prove they have licensed, or their own original recordings. Use of unlicensed copyrighted music may result in removal of your content, a strike under our repeat infringer policy, takedown of associated revenue, and forwarding of your contact information to rights-holders pursuant to a valid DMCA notice.
Lesuto may, but is not obligated to, use audio fingerprinting or similar tools to detect copyrighted music in User Content. If a match is detected at upload time, we may block the upload, mute or replace the audio track, or notify you that the content cannot be published in its current form.
9. Reporting Copyright Infringement In-Product
In addition to the email and postal channels above, you may report alleged copyright infringement directly from the content where you encountered it — including Reels (Scenes), Stories, Posts, livestreams, and product pages — using the "Report → Copyright infringement" option in the Lesuto Hub website, the Lesuto Hub mobile app, the Lesuto Seller app, and SDK-powered storefronts. Reports submitted in-product are routed to our designated copyright agent and treated as DMCA notifications when they include the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).
