DMCA Copyright Policy

Last Updated: 3 December 2025

This DMCA Copyright Policy (“Policy”) explains how Astronova Host (“Astronova”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and similar laws where applicable.

1. Scope

This Policy applies to all services, products, and infrastructure provided by Astronova, including but not limited to hosting, object storage, compute instances, managed databases, and related tools (collectively, the “Services”).

2. Designated Agent

All DMCA notices should be sent to our designated agent:

DMCA Agent
Astronova Host DMCA Compliance
Email: dmca@astronovahost.com

Notices submitted by any other method may not be received or processed.

3. Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that content hosted through our Services infringes your copyright, you may submit a written DMCA notice that includes all of the following information:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are involved.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including sufficient information to allow us to locate the material (such as URLs, IP addresses, timestamps, or other relevant details).
  4. Your contact information, including name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

4. Our Response to Valid DMCA Notices

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, Astronova may:

  • Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
  • Notify the affected customer or account holder of the removal or disabled access.
  • In appropriate circumstances, terminate repeat infringers’ accounts or access to the Services.

We may share the contents of your notice, including your contact information, with the affected user or other parties as required to process the claim.

5. Counter-Notification

If you believe that material removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notice was misidentified or is not infringing, you may submit a counter-notification to our DMCA Agent that includes all of the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before its removal or disabling.
  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, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the location where you are resident, and will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA notice or their agent.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material within a reasonable time, unless the original complainant informs us that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringement.

6. Repeat Infringers

Astronova may, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, suspend or terminate accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.

7. Misrepresentations

You may be liable for damages (including costs and legal fees) if you knowingly misrepresent that material is infringing or that it was removed by mistake. Please consult independent legal advice if you are unsure whether content is infringing.

8. No Legal Advice

This Policy is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Parties should consult their own legal counsel regarding rights and obligations under the DMCA or other laws.
