Copyright on Bandwagon.

Our DMCA designated agent for receiving notifications of claimed infringement is:

• Name: DMCA Agent, Bandwagon, Inc.
• Email: dmca@bandwagon.run (preferred · fastest response)
• Mail: Bandwagon, Inc. · Attn: DMCA Agent · PO Box [TBD] · Daytona Beach, FL 32114
• Phone: [TBD] (business hours, ET)

The agent is registered at the US Copyright Office DMCA designated-agent directory.

• We acknowledge receipt within 1 business day.
• We review the notice for the elements required by section 512(c)(3) (see below).
• If the notice is facially valid, we take down or disable access to the alleged infringing material expeditiously — usually within 48 hours.
• We notify the user who posted the content, with a copy of the notice.
• We log the action in our admin audit trail (retained 7 years).
• Repeat infringers (typically 3 valid notices) have their accounts terminated.
• If the user files a valid counter-notice, we restore the content after 10–14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action.

Send a written notice to dmca@bandwagon.run that includes all six elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

• (1) Your physical or electronic signature (typed full name is fine for email).
• (2) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or representative list).
• (3) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing — include the exact URL(s) on Bandwagon, e.g. bandwagon.run/reels/rl-2.
• (4) Your contact info — name, address, phone, email.
• (5) A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• (6) A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Missing elements delay processing. Templates are widely available — search "DMCA notice template" or use the EFF's example.

Warning:Section 512(f) imposes liability — including damages, costs, and attorneys' fees — on any person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing. Don't file frivolous notices.

If your content was taken down and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you can file a counter-notice. Send to dmca@bandwagon.run:

• (1) Your physical or electronic signature.
• (2) Identification of the material removed and the location where it appeared (URL).
• (3) A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
• (4) Your name, address, phone, and email.
• (5) A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the judicial district where you live (or in Volusia County, FL if you're outside the US), and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant.

We'll forward your counter-notice to the original complainant. They have 10–14 business days to file a court action seeking a restraining order. If they don't, we restore your content.

We terminate accounts of users who are repeat infringers. Practically: 3 unresolved DMCA strikes within a rolling 12-month period results in account termination. "Unresolved" means the user did not successfully counter-notice. Strikes that get reversed (via counter-notice + no court action, or by withdrawn complaints) don't count toward the limit.

Both takedown notices and counter-notices are made under penalty of perjury per the DMCA. Filing knowingly false notices is illegal under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and may result in liability for damages, costs, and attorneys' fees of the wrongly-affected party. We cooperate fully with civil and criminal investigations of false DMCA claims.

Bandwagon is a live-music marketplace. Cover songs played at live shows are typically covered by venue ASCAP/BMI/SESAC blanket licenses (which is why venues self-attest licensing during onboarding). However:

• A recording of a cover that you post to Bandwagon (Reel, video clip, audio sample) is a separate "synchronization" or "mechanical" license, not covered by the venue's performance blanket.
• If you want to post a cover recording, get a sync license (e.g., via Easy Song Licensing or Songtrust) or post originals only.
• We respond to label DMCA notices on covers per the standard process above. Counter-notices can succeed if you can document a sync license.

For non-copyright IP issues (trademark infringement, unauthorized use of name/likeness, defamation) email legal@bandwagon.run. The DMCA only governs copyright; other claims have different procedures.
