Introduction
Techne Coding LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Tasty Spread platform (“Service”) to do the same.
In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we have designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement. This page outlines how copyright owners may notify us of alleged infringement and how we will respond.
This policy applies to all user-generated content submitted, uploaded, or otherwise made available through Tasty Spread.
Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe that any content available on or through the Service infringes your copyright, please send a written notice (“DMCA Notice”) to our Designated Agent using the contact information below.
A valid DMCA Notice must include:
1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are involved.
2. Identification of the allegedly infringing material, including the exact location (URL or in-app location) so we can locate it.
3. Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement of good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Incomplete notices may delay processing.

How We Respond to Notices
Upon receiving a valid DMCA Notice:
• We will promptly investigate the identified material.
• If we determine the material infringes copyright, we will remove or disable access to it.
• We may, in our discretion, temporarily comply “in protest” with a DMCA Notice by disabling access to content while we review the claim. Such temporary compliance does not constitute agreement with, or admission regarding, the claim.
• We may notify the user who posted the content.
• We may terminate accounts of repeat infringers in accordance with the DMCA.
We may request additional information if a notice is incomplete or unclear.
Submitting a Counter-Notification
If your content was removed due to a DMCA Notice and you believe the removal was in error or that you have the legal right to use the material, you may send a written Counter-Notification containing:
1. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it previously appeared.
2. A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
3. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address, and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant.
5. Your physical or electronic signature.
Send Counter-Notifications to the Designated Agent listed above.
Upon receiving a valid Counter-Notification, we may restore the material unless the original complainant notifies us within 10 business days that they are seeking a court order to restrain your use of the content.
Repeat Infringers
In accordance with the DMCA, we may suspend or terminate users who repeatedly post infringing content. Determinations are made at our sole discretion.
Misrepresentations
Under §512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly misrepresents that content is infringing—or that removed content was misidentified—may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees.
Questions
If you are unsure whether content infringes your rights, consider consulting an attorney.
We cannot provide legal advice.
