Introduction
Debatro respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all users of the Platform to do the same.
This Copyright & DMCA Policy explains how copyright owners can report content that they believe infringes their copyright, how Debatro responds to such reports, and how users may respond if they believe content has been removed in error.
Debatro is an online discussion Platform that allows users to create communities, participate in discussions and share content, including text, images, audio, video, documents, links, polls, stickers and other materials. Users may also share content from certain third-party services, such as YouTube, GIPHY or Tenor, where supported by the Platform.
We take copyright infringement seriously and will investigate valid reports promptly. Where appropriate, we may remove or disable access to content while we investigate a complaint or where we believe doing so is necessary to comply with applicable laws or protect the rights of others.
Respect for Copyright
Users must only upload, share or otherwise make available content that they own or have the legal right or permission to use.
You are responsible for ensuring that any content you post on Debatro does not infringe the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of any individual or organisation.
If you are unsure whether you have permission to use particular content, you should not upload or share it until you have obtained the necessary rights or authorisation.
Our Community Guidelines also require users to respect the rights of creators and other members of the community.

If you believe that content available on Debatro infringes your copyright, you may submit a copyright infringement report by contacting us through our Contact Us page.
To help us investigate your report as quickly as possible, please include the following information:
- Your full name and contact details;
- A description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed;
- The URL or other information identifying the content you are reporting;
- An explanation of why you believe the content infringes your copyright;
- A statement confirming that you believe, in good faith, that the use of the content is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
- A statement confirming that the information you have provided is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Providing complete and accurate information will help us process your report more efficiently.
How We Respond to Copyright Reports
Once we receive a copyright infringement report, we will review the information provided and assess whether further action is appropriate.
Where necessary, we may temporarily remove or disable access to the reported content while we investigate the matter. We may also contact the user who uploaded or shared the content to request further information or to notify them of the report.
If we determine that content infringes copyright or other intellectual property rights, we may remove the content, restrict access to it, suspend the associated account or take any other action that we consider appropriate under our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines.
Not all reports will result in content being removed. We will consider the information available to us and, where appropriate, any response received from the user who posted the content before making a decision.
Counter-Notices
If you believe that your content has been removed or restricted as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may Contact Us to request that we review the decision.
Your request should clearly explain why you believe the content does not infringe copyright and include any relevant information or evidence that supports your position.
We will consider the information provided by both parties before deciding whether the content should remain removed, be restored or whether any further action is appropriate.
Submitting a counter-notice does not guarantee that content will be restored. Each case will be reviewed on its own merits and in accordance with applicable laws and our Terms of Use.
Repeat Copyright Infringement
Debatro expects all users to respect the intellectual property rights of others. Users who repeatedly infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights may have their content removed, their account temporarily suspended or, in serious or repeated cases, permanently terminated.
When determining what action to take, we may consider factors such as the nature of the infringement, whether it appears to be deliberate, whether the user has previously received copyright complaints and any other relevant circumstances.
We aim to apply our policies fairly and proportionately while protecting the rights of copyright owners and maintaining the integrity of the Platform.
False or Misleading Reports
Copyright infringement reports should only be submitted where you genuinely believe that your copyright or the copyright of someone you are authorised to represent has been infringed.
Knowingly submitting false, misleading or fraudulent copyright reports may result in reports being rejected and, where appropriate, action being taken against the reporting party.
We encourage all parties to act honestly and in good faith throughout the copyright reporting process.
