DMCA Policy
iWebVault Technologies · Last updated: May 2026
1. Jurisdiction Statement
iWebVault Technologies operates server infrastructure in jurisdictions outside the United States of America. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States federal law enacted in 1998. Its provisions — including the takedown notice mechanism in 17 U.S.C. § 512 — apply to entities operating under US jurisdiction.
iWebVault Technologies is not incorporated or registered in the United States and does not operate servers on US soil for the purpose of providing hosting services. Accordingly, the DMCA takedown mechanism does not apply to our operations and we are not legally obligated to respond to DMCA takedown notices.
2. Our Position on DMCA Notices
We do not forward DMCA takedown notices to customers, remove content in response to DMCA notices, or take any action based solely on a DMCA claim from a US-based rights holder.
This policy exists because our customers rely on iWebVault’s offshore infrastructure specifically for its protection from DMCA enforcement. Responding to DMCA notices would be inconsistent with the service we provide and the expectations our customers have when choosing an offshore provider.
3. Content We Will Act On
While we do not process DMCA notices, we will take action on content that violates our Acceptable Use Policy — specifically content that is illegal under international law or in our operating jurisdictions, including:
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — zero tolerance, immediate termination and law enforcement notification
- Content facilitating terrorism or mass violence
- Active malware, phishing infrastructure or botnet command-and-control
- Other content that violates the laws of the country in which the relevant server is located
Copyright infringement as defined by US law is not in this category.
4. Sending Abuse Reports
If you believe content hosted on iWebVault infrastructure violates our Acceptable Use Policy (as described in Section 3 above), you may submit a report to:
Email: abuse@iwebvault.com
Subject line: “AUP Violation Report — [brief description]”
Include: The specific URL, nature of the violation and supporting evidence
We will acknowledge reports within 48 hours and investigate within 5 business days. We reserve the right to determine what constitutes a violation of our AUP.
5. DMCA Notices Sent to Us
DMCA notices sent to iWebVault are not acted upon. Sending a DMCA notice does not create any legal obligation for iWebVault to take action. We will not acknowledge or respond to DMCA notices sent by email, mail or any other channel.
If you are a rights holder seeking to enforce copyright against content hosted on our infrastructure, your remedy is to pursue legal action in the jurisdiction in which the relevant content resides, or against the individual customer who controls the content — not against iWebVault as infrastructure provider.
6. Transparency
iWebVault’s DMCA-ignored status is a core part of our service offering and is stated clearly on our website and in our marketing. Customers who sign up for iWebVault services do so with full knowledge that their content will not be removed in response to DMCA requests. This policy is not hidden — it is our product.
