Copyright and DMCA Policy

Our position

Shotcaller respects copyright. Coaches upload a lot of material — scanned playbooks, clinic handouts, diagrams, photos, video — and not all of it is theirs to distribute. We respond to properly submitted notices of claimed infringement and we terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

Designated agent

Send copyright notices to our designated agent:

DMCA Agent Copyright Agent Shotcaller Applications LLC 7901 4th St N, Ste 300, St. Petersburg, FL 33702, USA Email: Legal@shotcaller.football (subject line: "DMCA Notice")

This agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Notices sent to support, sales, or any other address may not reach the agent and may not be treated as received.

Submitting a notice of claimed infringement

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed — or, for multiple works at one site, a representative list.
Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it. Be specific: the team, the conversation, the file name, a screenshot, or a link. "Somewhere in your app" is not locatable and we will ask you to resubmit.
Your contact information — address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

A word before you send one. 17 U.S.C. §512(f) makes a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Consider whether the use might be licensed or fair before filing. If you're unsure, talk to a lawyer.

What we do when we receive a notice

We review it for completeness. Incomplete notices are returned with an explanation of what's missing.
We remove or disable access to the material identified, expeditiously.
We notify the user who posted it, give them a copy of the notice, and tell them how to counter-notify.
We record a strike against that account.

Because most content in Shotcaller lives inside a private team workspace, removal usually means the material is deleted from that team, not from a public page.

Counter-notification

If your material was removed and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the agent above. It must include:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
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 outside the United States, the Middle District of Florida), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the complaining party. We may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the complaining party notifies us that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the infringing activity.

Counter-notices carry the same perjury exposure as notices. Don't file one to win an argument with another coach.

Repeat infringers

We maintain and enforce a repeat infringer policy.

Each valid, uncontested notice is a strike against the account that posted the material.
A strike is withdrawn if the complaining party retracts the notice, or if a counter-notice stands unchallenged and the material is restored.
At three strikes, the account is terminated and the individual is barred from creating a new account.
We may terminate an account sooner where the circumstances warrant — for example, bulk uploading of commercially published material.
Terminating an account may mean the team loses access to its workspace. Team administrators should take this seriously when deciding what their staff may upload.

We log every notice, strike, counter-notice, and termination.

What this policy is not

It is not a general complaint channel. Harassment, inappropriate content, and safety concerns go to Safety@shotcaller.football under our Community Guidelines.
It does not cover trademark. Send trademark concerns to Legal@shotcaller.football with a description of your mark, its registration, and the use you object to.
It is not legal advice to either party.

A practical note for coaches

Most copyright trouble in a coaching app is avoidable:

A playbook you drew is yours. A playbook you bought is licensed to you, and uploading it into a shared workspace may exceed that license.
Clinic handouts, book diagrams, and another program's install sheets generally belong to whoever made them.
Photos taken by a hired team photographer usually belong to the photographer unless your contract says otherwise.

If you're not sure you can share it with your staff, ask the person who made it.
