DMCA Policy

01Our Commitment

SEPX respects intellectual property rights and expects the same of everyone who uses our services. If you believe material on our services infringes your copyright, you can send us a notice and we will act on it.

SEPX, LLC (a limited liability company (LLC), referred to as "SEPX," "we," "us," or "our") operates SECRETEXPLOITS.xyz, including the SEPX Discord bots (with the SE Keys access/unlock system). This DMCA Policy explains how we respond to claims of copyright infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the "DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

This policy applies to user-generated and user-submitted content on our services, including submissions, messages, and other content users provide through our Discord bots or to our support team, as well as material made available through our Discord bots and the SE Keys access system. We process and respond to valid notices and counter-notices in accordance with the DMCA. This policy works together with our Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, and Privacy Policy.

02Filing a Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner, or authorised to act on behalf of one, you may submit a written takedown notice to our Designated Copyright Agent.

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must be a written communication that includes substantially all of the following six elements:

1. Signature. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works.
3. Identification of the infringing material and its location. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or to which access is to be disabled, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (for example, the specific Discord server and message link, the channel and message ID, the bot command involved, or the access key or content involved).
4. Contact information. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. Good-faith-belief statement. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. Accuracy and authority statement under penalty of perjury. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Incomplete notices may not be valid under the DMCA and may delay or prevent our response. We may forward a copy of your notice (including your contact details) to the user who posted the material and may publish or share it as required or permitted by law.

03Designated Copyright Agent

Address copyright notices to our Designated Copyright Agent using the contact details below.

For the fastest handling, send notices by email to [email protected] with the subject line or first line marked Attn: DMCA Agent. Notices may also be sent by post to the address above, addressed to the DMCA Agent, SEPX, LLC.

Our Designated Agent may also be, or may become, registered with the United States Copyright Office in its Directory of Designated Agents. Contacting the agent directly via the details above remains the most reliable way to reach us about a copyright matter.

04What Happens After a Valid Notice

When we receive a notice that complies with the DMCA, we act expeditiously.

Upon receiving a valid takedown notice, we will generally:

• Review the notice to confirm it contains the required elements and relates to material on our services;
• Remove or disable access to the material identified as infringing, or to which access is to be disabled, expeditiously;
• Notify the affected user that the material has been removed or disabled in response to a copyright complaint, and provide them a copy of the notice (or its substance) where appropriate; and
• Inform the affected user of their right to submit a counter-notification if they believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification.

We may take these steps without prior notice to the affected user and without any judgment as to the ultimate merits of the dispute. Removing or disabling material in response to a notice does not constitute an admission of liability or a waiver of any rights or defences.

05Counter-Notification

If your material was removed or disabled and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification.

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), your counter-notification must be a written communication sent to our Designated Copyright Agent that includes substantially all of the following:

1. Signature. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
3. Statement under penalty of perjury. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
4. Contact information and consent to jurisdiction. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which SEPX may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of that person.

After we receive a valid counter-notification, we will promptly forward a copy to the person who sent the original notice. We may then restore the removed material, or cease disabling access to it, in not less than 10 nor more than 14 business days following receipt of your counter-notification, unless our Designated Agent first receives notice from the original complainant that they have filed a court action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity relating to the material on our services.

06Repeat Infringer Policy

We terminate the accounts and access of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Consistent with the DMCA, SEPX has adopted and implements a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the accounts and access of users who are repeat infringers. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

• removing or disabling access to infringing content;
• issuing warnings, recording copyright strikes against an account, or revoking access keys or Discord role grants associated with our services;
• suspending or terminating access to our Services, banning users from our Discord bots, or removing our bots from servers; and
• taking other action we consider appropriate to address repeat infringement.

We determine what constitutes a repeat infringer and what circumstances are appropriate for termination in our reasonable discretion, taking account of the nature and frequency of the infringement and all other relevant factors.

07Misrepresentation

Sending a false notice or counter-notice can have legal consequences.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or its authorised licensee, or by SEPX as a service provider injured by the misrepresentation.

Please be sure that the material you identify is actually infringing and that you have the authority to act before submitting a notice or counter-notice. Consider whether the use may be permitted by law (for example, as fair use) before proceeding.

08Notices From Outside the United States

Users in the EU/EEA can also rely on notice-and-action mechanisms under applicable European law.

The DMCA is a United States law, but we welcome copyright and illegal-content reports from everywhere. If you are located in the European Union or the European Economic Area, you may notify us of allegedly illegal content, including copyright infringement, using the notice-and-action mechanism contemplated by the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) and applicable national law. Where you submit such a notice with sufficient detail, we will assess it diligently, objectively, and in a timely manner.

You can use the same contact details set out in the Designated Copyright Agent section above. To help us act quickly, please include the same kind of information described in the takedown-notice requirements: what the content is, where it is located on our services, why you believe it is unlawful, and how to contact you. EU/EEA users should also review our Contact page for company identification details.

09How to Submit

You can submit a takedown notice or counter-notification by email or by post. Either way, include all of the required elements.

By email (recommended). Send your notice or counter-notice to [email protected] with Attn: DMCA Agent in the subject line. Email is the fastest channel and lets us acknowledge and act on your request promptly.

By post. Send your notice or counter-notice to the DMCA Agent at the postal address below.

Before you send, please confirm your submission contains every required element. A takedown notice must include the six elements listed in Filing a Takedown Notice; a counter-notification must include the elements listed in Counter-Notification. Missing information may delay our response or render your submission ineffective under the DMCA.
