1. Introduction

At Echo Tech (https://echotech.blog/), we respect the intellectual property rights of others and are committed to complying with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This page outlines our policy and procedures for addressing claims of copyright infringement related to content published on our website.

We operate on a strict principle of original content creation. As stated in our About Us page, we do not copy or republish third-party content. All material on Echo Tech is the result of our own research, analysis, and original writing. However, we take all copyright concerns seriously and will respond promptly to valid infringement notices.

2. Our Content Policy Reiteration

To avoid any confusion, we explicitly affirm:

  • We are not a third-party aggregator.
  • We do not copy or plagiarize content from other sources.
  • Our articles on technology, AI tools, celebrity bios, athlete news, sports, business, and blogs are created through original research and synthesis of publicly available information.
  • We may use publicly available facts, data, and news (which are not subject to copyright) as a basis for our original commentary, analysis, and narrative.
  • Any images, graphics, or media used are either created by us, licensed appropriately, used under “Fair Use” principles for commentary/criticism, or are sourced from copyright-free repositories with proper attribution where required.

Note: Submitting a false or misleading claim of copyright infringement may result in liability for damages. Please ensure you are the legitimate rights holder or their authorized agent before proceeding.

4. Our Response to a Valid DMCA Notice

Upon receipt of a complete and valid DMCA takedown notice that complies with all statutory requirements, we will:

  1. Promptly acknowledge receipt of your notice.
  2. Investigate the claim thoroughly.
  3. Remove or disable access to the content identified as infringing, if our investigation substantiates the claim.
  4. Notify the user (content contributor, if applicable) who provided the content and provide them with a copy of the takedown notice.
  5. Follow the DMCA’s counter-notification procedures if the user contests the claim.

5. Counter-Notification by Users

If you are a Echo Tech user (e.g., a guest contributor) and believe your content was removed due to a mistake or misidentification, you may file a DMCA counter-notification. It must include:

  • Your name, address, phone number, and physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the removed material and its location before removal.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification.
  • Consent to the jurisdiction of your local Federal District Court (or, if outside the US, to a court in [Your Jurisdiction, e.g., India]), and acceptance of service of process from the original complainant.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If they do not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to restrain the activity, we may replace or restore access to the content.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, Echo Tech maintains a policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We also reserve the right to refuse service to any user at our discretion.
