Copyright & DMCA Policy

NexTrack respects intellectual property rights and is committed to protecting copyright owners while providing a reliable distribution platform for artists and rights holders worldwide.

This Copyright & DMCA Policy outlines how NexTrack responds to claims of copyright infringement and how rights holders can report unauthorized content.

1. Copyright Protection

Artists may only upload content that they own or have obtained full legal authorization to distribute.

Uploading copyrighted material without permission is strictly prohibited and may result in:

  • Immediate content removal
  • Royalty withholding
  • Account suspension
  • Permanent termination

Artists may also face legal consequences from the rightful copyright owner.

2. DMCA Compliance

NexTrack complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and similar international copyright laws.

If you believe your copyrighted work has been used without authorization, you may submit a formal takedown notice.

3. How to Submit a Copyright Takedown Notice

Your notice must include the following:

  • Your full legal name and contact information
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
  • Direct URL or location of the infringing content
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized
  • A statement that the information provided is accurate

4. What Happens After a Takedown Notice

Upon receiving a valid complaint, NexTrack may:

  • Remove or disable access to the reported content
  • Notify the distributor/artist
  • Suspend royalty payments
  • Request additional documentation
  • Terminate repeat offenders

We may act without prior notice to prevent ongoing infringement.

5. Counter-Notification Process

If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice containing:

  • Your name and contact details
  • Identification of the removed content
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the removal was an error
  • Consent to jurisdiction in your legal residence
  • Your signature

If a valid counter-notice is received, NexTrack may restore the content unless the original complainant files a court action.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

NexTrack enforces a strict policy against repeat copyright violations.

Accounts involved in multiple infringement claims may be permanently banned.

7. No Liability for User Content (VERY IMPORTANT CLAUSE)

NexTrack operates as a service provider and does not claim ownership of user-submitted content.

👉 Artists are solely responsible for the material they upload and distribute.

NexTrack shall not be held liable for infringing content uploaded by users.

8. Royalty Withholding Rights

NexTrack reserves the right to:

  • Freeze royalties
  • Offset future earnings
  • Recover previously paid funds

if revenue was generated from infringing content.

9. False Claims Warning

Submitting fraudulent copyright complaints is a serious legal offense.

Anyone who knowingly misrepresents infringement may be liable for damages, legal costs, and attorney fees.

10. Cooperation with Legal Authorities

NexTrack may disclose account details when required to:

  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Enforce agreements
  • Resolve disputes
  • Protect intellectual property rights

👉 “The Artist agrees to indemnify and hold NexTrack harmless from any claims arising out of copyright infringement.”
