Copyright & Takedown Policy

Effective Date: July 28, 2026 Last Updated: July 28, 2026

MarketDragon respects intellectual property rights and expects our users to do the same. This policy explains how to report material you believe infringes your rights, what we do when we receive a report, and how a user can respond if their content is removed.

1. Designated Agent

Notices of claimed copyright infringement should be sent to our designated agent:

Copyright Agent, MarketDragon 78 Veloso St., Bo Obrero Davao City 8000 Philippines Email: [email protected] Telephone: +63 932 560 0903

Please put "Copyright Notice" or "DMCA" in the subject line so it reaches the right queue. Email is the fastest route and the one we monitor most closely.

2. What to Include in a Notice

To allow us to act, your notice must include all of the following. These are the elements required under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), and an incomplete notice may delay our response.

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. Where multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list.
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — a direct URL is best.
4. Your contact details: full name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.

We may ask for clarification if a notice is incomplete. We do not require you to submit the material itself.

3. What We Do When We Receive a Notice

• Within 2 business days we acknowledge receipt.
• Within 7 business days we complete our review.
• Where a notice is valid, we expeditiously remove the material or disable access to it.
• We notify the affected user, tell them what was removed and why, and provide them a copy of the notice.
• We inform you of the outcome.

We check that a notice is complete and that the sender has authority to act for the rights holder. We are not in a position to adjudicate contested questions of ownership or fair use; where a matter is genuinely disputed, the counter-notice procedure below is the route.

4. Counter-Notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the address above. It must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material removed and the location it appeared before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your full name, postal address, and telephone number.
5. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of an appropriate court, and that you will accept service of process from the party who submitted the original notice.

We will forward a valid counter-notice to the original complainant. Where the law provides for it, we may restore the material if the complainant does not notify us that they have filed a court action.

5. Other Intellectual Property Claims

We also accept and act on:

• Trademark complaints, where a mark is used in a way likely to cause confusion.
• Right of publicity complaints, where a person's name, image, or likeness has been used without authorisation.

Send these to the same address, with the same level of detail: what right you hold, where the material appears, and why the use is unauthorised.

Complaints concerning sexualised imagery of an identifiable person are handled as an urgent matter under our Community Guidelines, not through this process, and are actioned immediately on credible report.

6. Repeat Infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Repeated valid notices against the same account will result in loss of access.

7. AI-Generated Content

Content produced through our AI tools is generated from prompts written by our users, using commercially hosted third-party models that apply their own safeguards against reproducing protected characters, trademarks, and named artists' styles.

Our Terms of Service place responsibility on the user for holding the rights necessary for the content they create and the reference material they upload. Where generated output nonetheless infringes, this policy applies to it exactly as it applies to any other material.

8. Misuse of This Process

Submitting a notice that materially misrepresents that material is infringing may expose you to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Please consider whether the use is authorised, or permitted by law, before sending a notice.
