DMCA Policy

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
• Take any action based solely on a DMCA claim from a US-based rights holder
• Acknowledge or respond to DMCA notices sent by email, mail or any other channel

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.

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 the infrastructure 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
• Doxxing platforms or non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII)
• Other content that violates the laws of the country in which the relevant server is located

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.

Reports that turn out to be DMCA complaints in disguise will receive a single response directing the sender to this DMCA Policy and will then be closed.

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, postal mail, fax, or any other channel.

This includes notices submitted on official-looking templates from law firms, rights holder associations, automated takedown services or any other source. The legal mechanism the DMCA provides applies only to providers operating under US jurisdiction.

We also do not act on:

• Cease-and-desist letters from US-based law firms regarding copyright
• Court orders from US courts (we have no presence in the US)
• Threats of legal action from US rights holders

If you wish to enforce copyright, contact the customer directly or pursue legal action in the appropriate jurisdiction.

6. Transparency

iWebVault's DMCA-ignored status is a core part of our service offering and is stated clearly on our website, in our marketing materials, in our Terms of Service, and in this DMCA Policy. 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, vague, or buried in fine print. It is our product.

We believe in transparency about our operational model. We publish where our servers are located (Netherlands, Malaysia, Lithuania, Moldova), we publish our no-log policy, we publish what we will and will not act on. There are no secret carve-outs or hidden cooperation arrangements.

7. Other copyright jurisdictions

This policy specifically addresses the US DMCA. Copyright enforcement mechanisms in other jurisdictions (such as the EU Copyright Directive, the UK's Online Safety Act, or various national copyright laws) are evaluated separately.

Where a legitimate court order issues from a court with actual jurisdiction over the relevant server location, we comply with the order. We do not voluntarily cooperate with informal copyright enforcement, regardless of which country it comes from. Compliance is limited to what is legally compelled, not what is requested.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this DMCA Policy if our operating jurisdictions change or if there are material developments in international copyright law that affect our position. Any change that would weaken protections for existing customers will be announced at least 30 days in advance.
