DMCA

Last Updated: August 14, 2025

1. Introduction

The Emirates Insider, accessible at thesoftformac.com, respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998, the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using our website (the “Website”) that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent, identified in the sample notice below.

This policy describes the procedure for copyright owners to notify us of claimed infringement and the procedure for users to respond to such claims.

2. Notification of Copyright Infringement (Takedown Notice)

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Website by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to our Designated Copyright Agent.

Upon receipt of the Notice as described below, we will take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriate, including removal of the challenged material from the Website.

To be effective, your DMCA Takedown Notice must be in writing and include the following information:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. 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 access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material. Providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate content quickly.
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted.
  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 that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Failure to include all of the above information may result in a delay in the processing of your DMCA notification.

3. Designated Copyright Agent

Please deliver this Notice, with all items completed, to our Designated Copyright Agent:

Designated Agent: DMCA Compliance Department Email: dmca@thesoftformac.com

Please note that for security reasons, email attachments may be filtered, so we recommend including all information in the body of the email.

4. Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that material you posted on the Website was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us (a “Counter-Notice”) by submitting a written notification to our Designated Copyright Agent.

To be an effective Counter-Notice, it must be a written communication that includes 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 it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  3. 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. 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 of the United States, for any judicial district in which the Website may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification of infringement or an agent of such person.

Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notice, we will promptly provide the person who provided the original infringement notification with a copy of the Counter-Notice, and inform that person that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. We will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the Counter-Notice, unless our Designated Copyright Agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the original infringement notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our system or network.

5. Policy on Repeat Infringers

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also at our sole discretion limit access to the Website and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

6. Modifications to Policy

We reserve the right to modify the terms of this DMCA Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed.
