ACTION REQUIRED before this is effective: to claim DMCA safe harbor, Orcha must register a Designated Agent with the U.S. Copyright Office (dmca.copyright.gov) and fill in the agent's name and contact below. A published page alone does not grant safe harbor — the registration and a real, monitored contact are both required.

Copyright and DMCA Takedown Policy

Orcha Collective ("Orcha," run by Orcha Systems LLC) respects copyright. Our collective artists upload their own tracks and warrant that they hold the rights to them. If you believe something on orchacollective.io infringes your copyright, this explains how to tell us and what we do about it.

1. How to Report Infringement

Send a written notice to our Designated Agent with all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

Your physical or electronic signature, as the copyright owner or someone authorized to act for the owner.
Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed.
Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it (a track URL or title).
Your contact information — name, address, phone, and email.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Designated Agent:

2. What We Do When We Get a Valid Notice

We remove or disable access to the identified material promptly.
We take reasonable steps to notify the artist who posted it that we removed it and why.
We keep a record of the notice.

3. Counter-Notice

If your track was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send our Designated Agent a counter-notice with (§ 512(g)):

Your signature.
Identification of the material removed and where it was before removal.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, phone, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the US, any district where Orcha may be found), and that you will accept service from the person who filed the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days, unless the original complainant files a court action to stop it.

4. Repeat Infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of artists or users who are repeat infringers. We keep records and enforce this consistently.

5. Misrepresentation

Under § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or was wrongly removed, may be liable for damages. Please only file if you mean it.

6. Relationship to the Artist Warranties

Every collective artist warrants, per track, that their upload infringes no one's rights and that they hold the rights to license it (see the Collective Artist Agreement and the AI Disclosure and Rights Attestation). This policy is how we act on a complaint that a warranty was breached, and the artist's indemnity in that agreement backs it.
