Digital Millennium Copyright Act (Dmca) Policy

 Last Updated: July 17, 2026

1. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE

Real Bounce (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users, customers, website visitors, and third-party partners to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512, and other applicable intellectual property laws, Real Bounce has adopted this policy to respond promptly and effectively to claims of copyright infringement.

This DMCA Policy applies to all content hosted, published, or made available through the Real Bounce website (the “Site”), our social media channels, marketing materials, and any other digital platforms operated by Real Bounce. This includes, but is not limited to, text, graphics, logos, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data compilations, software, and user-generated content (such as customer-submitted photos or reviews).

By using our Site or services, you agree to comply with this DMCA Policy. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied and is accessible on our Site in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please follow the procedures outlined below.

2. DESIGNATED COPYRIGHT AGENT

To facilitate the resolution of copyright infringement claims, Real Bounce has designated a Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement. For maximum effectiveness and to ensure safe harbor protection under the DMCA, all notices of claimed infringement must be directed exclusively to our Designated Copyright Agent.

Notices sent to any other Real Bounce employee, department, or address may result in delays in processing.

Designated Copyright Agent Contact Information:

Note: Real Bounce has registered this Designated Agent with the U.S. Copyright Office as required by the DMCA.

3. HOW TO SUBMIT A DMCA TAKEDOWN NOTICE

If you are a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, and you believe that your copyrighted work has been reproduced, distributed, or displayed on our Site without authorization, you may submit a formal DMCA Takedown Notice.

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

  1. Identification of the Copyrighted Work: A clear and detailed description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notification, you may provide a representative list of such works.
  2. Identification of the Infringing Material: A detailed description of the material that you claim is infringing, along with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material on our Site (e.g., the specific URL(s) where the allegedly infringing content is located).
  3. Your Contact Information: Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, including your name, physical address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. Good Faith Belief Statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. Accuracy and Authority Statement: A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  6. Signature: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed (e.g., a typed name for electronic submissions is generally acceptable).

Please send your complete DMCA Takedown Notice to the Designated Copyright Agent via email or postal mail using the contact information provided in Section 2.

4. OUR RESPONSE TO A VALID DMCA NOTICE

Upon receipt of a DMCA Takedown Notice that substantially complies with the requirements outlined in Section 3, Real Bounce will take the following steps:

  1. Prompt Removal or Disabling of Access: We will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing.
  2. Notification to the User: If the allegedly infringing material was posted by a specific user, customer, or third party, we will make a reasonable effort to notify that individual that the content has been removed or disabled, providing them with a copy of the DMCA notice (with your personal contact information redacted, if necessary) and a link to this DMCA Policy.
  3. No Liability for Removal: Real Bounce shall not be liable to any person or entity for any claims, damages, or losses arising from our good-faith removal or disabling of access to material pursuant to this policy.

5. COUNTER-NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE

If you are a user of our Site and you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification (e.g., the material is not infringing, you own the rights to the material, or your use constitutes “fair use”), you have the right to submit a DMCA Counter-Notification.

To be valid under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)), your written Counter-Notification must include all of the following elements:

  1. Identification of the Removed Material: A description 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 disabled (e.g., the original URL).
  2. Statement of Good Faith: A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
  3. Consent to Jurisdiction: 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 the District of Vermont), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA Takedown Notice or an agent of such person.
  4. Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

Please send your complete Counter-Notification to the Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information provided in Section 2.

Our Response to a Valid Counter-Notification

Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notification, Real Bounce will promptly forward a copy to the original complainant. We will inform the complainant that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days, unless the complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking a restraining order against the user. If we do not receive such notice from the complainant within that timeframe, we may, at our sole discretion, restore the material to our Site.

6. REPEAT INFRINGER POLICY

Real Bounce is committed to combating copyright infringement. In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, Real Bounce has adopted and implemented a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users, customers, or account holders who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

If a user is found to have repeatedly uploaded, posted, or transmitted infringing content, or has been the subject of multiple valid DMCA Takedown Notices, Real Bounce reserves the right to:

  • Remove the infringing content without prior notice.
  • Suspend or terminate the user’s access to our Site, services, or rental accounts.
  • Cancel any pending reservations or bookings.
  • Pursue any available legal remedies.

The determination of what constitutes a “repeat infringer” is made at the sole discretion of Real Bounce management, based on the facts and circumstances of each case.

7. WARNING REGARDING FALSE CLAIMS

Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or the service provider (Real Bounce).

If you are unsure whether material available on our Site infringes your copyright, we strongly encourage you to contact an attorney before submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice or Counter-Notification.
