Copyright Policy & DMCA Notice-and-Takedown Procedure

Applies to: tism (iOS and Android apps) and the tism community
Effective Date: October 22, 2026
Last Updated: October 22, 2026

tism is operated by 0.0.0 LLC, also known as ZeroZeroZero LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). tism hosts content posted by its members — posts, comments, photos, messages, group content, and resource listings. We respect the intellectual property rights of others and require every member to do the same.

We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA"). This page explains how to notify us of infringing material, how to file a counter-notification if your material was removed in error, and how we handle repeat infringers.

1. Designated Copyright Agent

Send all copyright notices and counter-notifications to our designated agent:

Please use these contacts only for copyright matters. Community guideline violations, harassment, and child safety concerns should be reported through the in-app reporting system or to support@zer000.com. Moderation appeals follow the process in Section 6.3 of our Terms of Service.

2. How to Submit a Notice of Claimed Infringement

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe material posted on tism infringes your copyright, send our designated agent a written notice that includes all six elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A):

1. Identification of the copyrighted work. Identify the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If your notice covers multiple works at a single location, you may provide a representative list of those works.
2. Identification of the infringing material and where it is. Identify the material you claim is infringing and that you want removed or disabled, with enough detail for us to locate it — for example, the group or feed it appears in, the post or comment text, the username of the poster, the date and time it was posted, and any URL or screenshot you can provide.
3. Your contact information. Provide information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you: your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A good-faith belief statement. Include a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. An accuracy and authority statement under penalty of perjury. Include a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
6. Your signature. Include your physical or electronic signature. Typing your full legal name at the end of an email notice is an acceptable electronic signature.

A notice that omits any of these six elements may not be effective and may be returned to you for completion.

3. What We Do With a Valid Notice

On receiving a notice that substantially complies with Section 512(c)(3)(A), we will act expeditiously to:

• Remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice;
• Notify the member who posted the material that it has been removed or disabled, and forward them a copy of your notice (including the contact information in it);
• Inform that member of their right to submit a counter-notification; and
• Record the notice in our internal repeat-infringer log (see Section 5).

Because tism is an invite-only community that includes information about children, we remove reported material from member view while a notice is being processed. If a notice is incomplete, unclear, or appears to target non-infringing material, we may contact you for clarification before acting.

4. Counter-Notification (17 U.S.C. § 512(g))

If your post, photo, or other material was removed or disabled and you believe this was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send our designated agent a written counter-notification containing all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location where it appeared before it was removed or disabled.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
4. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, together with 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 the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will promptly forward a copy to the person who submitted the original notice and inform them that we will restore the removed material in 10 to 14 business days. We will then restore the material within that window unless our designated agent first receives notice that the original complainant has filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Note that a counter-notification contains your real name, address, and phone number, and that we are required to forward it to the complainant. If you are not comfortable sharing that information, you may instead simply leave the material down.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

We maintain and reasonably implement a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of members who are repeat copyright infringers.

• Each valid notice of claimed infringement attributable to a member is recorded against that member's account as a strike.
• A strike is withdrawn if the member submits a valid counter-notification and the material is restored, or if the complainant retracts the notice.
• A member who accumulates three strikes will have their account terminated under Section 17 of our Terms of Service and may be denied future access to the community.
• We may terminate an account immediately, on a first notice, in cases of flagrant, large-scale, or willful infringement.
• Because tism membership is part of an invite chain, repeat infringement may also affect the standing of invite codes issued by the terminated account.

6. Misrepresentation Carries Liability (17 U.S.C. § 512(f))

Do not file a false notice or a false counter-notification.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, is liable for any damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or its authorized licensee, or by us as the service provider, as a result of our reliance on that misrepresentation.

The DMCA is not a general-purpose takedown tool. Using it to remove criticism, to settle a personal dispute, or to remove content you simply dislike is a misuse of the process. If you are unsure whether the material you are reporting is actually infringing, or whether a use qualifies as fair use, consult a lawyer before submitting a notice.

7. Your Own Content

You keep ownership of what you post on tism. By posting, you confirm that you own the material or have the rights needed to post it — this includes photos taken by someone else, resource listings copied from another site, and any text you did not write yourself. Posting material you do not have the right to post violates Section 5.2 of our Terms of Service and may be removed under this policy.

8. Scope and Relationship to Other Policies

This policy addresses copyright only. Other concerns are handled elsewhere:

• Trademark complaints and other legal notices: support@zer000.com
• Harassment, hate speech, and community guideline violations: the in-app reporting system, or Section 5 and Section 6 of our Terms of Service
• Child safety concerns: see our Child Safety page
• Privacy and personal data: our Privacy Policy, or privacy@zer000.com
• Account deletion: our Delete Account page

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes to our designated agent information will also be reflected in our registration with the U.S. Copyright Office.
