DMCA Safe Harbor

PrTask qualifies for safe harbor protection under Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 512) as an online service provider. PrTask has registered a designated DMCA agent with the U.S. Copyright Office, implements and publishes a notice-and-takedown process, maintains a counter-notification procedure, has adopted and reasonably implements a repeat infringer policy, and accommodates standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted works.

Overview

PrTask respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), we will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed using our platform.

Filing a DMCA Notice

If you believe that content on PrTask infringes your copyright, please send a written notification to our designated agent with the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with sufficient detail to locate it on PrTask
• Your contact information including address, telephone number, and email address
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

Takedown Process

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, PrTask will expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material, notify the user who posted the content, and provide that user with a copy of the notice and information about how to file a counter-notification. PrTask will act promptly upon receiving a valid notice and will preserve evidence related to the allegedly infringing material for the duration of any dispute.

Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was removed in error, you may file a counter-notification containing:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the removed material and its prior location
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification
• Your name, address, telephone number, and consent to jurisdiction of the federal court in your district

Counter-Notification Process

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, PrTask will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action seeking a restraining order against the subscriber within 10 business days, PrTask will restore the removed content within 10 to 14 business days of receiving the counter-notification.

Repeat Infringers

PrTask maintains a repeat infringer policy as required for DMCA safe harbor protection. Users who receive two or more valid DMCA takedown notices will have their accounts permanently terminated. PrTask reserves the right to terminate accounts of repeat infringers at its sole discretion, even on a first offense in egregious cases. Terminated users forfeit any pending bounties and are permanently barred from creating new accounts.

EU Copyright Directive

In compliance with Article 17 of the EU Copyright Directive (Directive 2019/790), PrTask cooperates with rights holders and maintains a complaint and redress mechanism for copyright disputes. PrTask makes best efforts to obtain authorization for user-uploaded content where required and implements effective measures to prevent the availability of infringing content upon receiving notice from rights holders. Users whose content is affected by copyright enforcement actions have the right to file a complaint through our internal mechanism.
