DMCA Policy

01 Scope

This policy applies to material published by Halo & Vice Media Group LLC on this website and on channels we directly control.

Halo & Vice does not operate a content-hosting platform and accepts no user uploads. If the material you are concerned about appears on a third-party platform operated by a creator we represent, that platform's own DMCA process is the correct channel — we are not the host and cannot remove content from platforms we do not control. We will, however, forward properly directed notices to the appropriate party where we are able to identify them.

02 Designated Agent

03 Filing a Notice of Infringement

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your written notice must include substantially all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf;
2. 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 material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (a direct URL is strongly preferred);
4. Your contact information, including mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Notices missing these elements may be invalid and may delay our response. Please send one notice per matter rather than duplicating across channels.

04 Our Response

Upon receiving a valid notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified, and will make a reasonable attempt to notify the party who posted it, providing them a copy of the notice. We may also, at our discretion, preserve a copy of the removed material for the purpose of responding to a counter-notification or legal process.

05 Counter-Notification

If you believe your material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to the address in Section 02. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), it must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal;
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number;
5. 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, to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which we may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice or their agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party. Unless that party notifies us within ten (10) business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the removed material within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days of receiving the counter-notification.

06 Repeat Infringers

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts and engagements of parties who are determined to be repeat infringers. Because our services are provided under individual agreements, a determination of repeat infringement may result in termination of the engagement in accordance with the applicable service agreement.

07 Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material 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 licensee, or by us. Consider consulting an attorney before submitting a notice or counter-notification.

08 Protecting Our Talent's Work

Where we are authorized to act on behalf of a creator we represent, we may submit infringement notices to third-party platforms on their behalf as part of our operational services. Requests relating to the unauthorized distribution of a represented creator's work may be directed to management@haloandvice.com, and we will route them appropriately.
