Copyright and DMCA

1. Our policy

Skye Meta Corp ("Skye Meta," "we," "us") respects the rights of copyright owners and expects the people who use Bothy (including the Bothy Pass and Bothy Scanner), SkyeGate, SkyeWoo, Skye Recognition for Shopify, SkyeProfile, SkyeSkiff and skyemeta.com to do the same. Some of our services host and display material that customers provide, such as a community's name and the logo it uploads for its Bothy pass, which appear on the pass, at participating stores and in our directory. We respond to notices of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).

2. Designated agent

Send notices of claimed infringement to our designated agent:

Douglas Borthwick
Skye Meta Corp
18 Locust Ave. #115
New Canaan, CT 06840
United States
Phone: +1 475-371-1170
Email: douglas@skyemeta.com

Our designation is listed in the U.S. Copyright Office's DMCA Designated Agent Directory under Skye Meta Corp, with the alternate names Bothy, SkyeGate, SkyeWoo, SkyeSkiff, SkyeProfile, Skye Recognition and skyemeta. This address is for copyright notices only; for anything else, see our contact page.

3. What a notice must include

To be effective, your notice must be in writing and include:

• Your physical or electronic signature, as the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner;
• Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed (or, for several works, a representative list);
• Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough information for us to find it, such as the page address or the name of the community;
• Your name, mailing 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; and
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the copyright owner.

When we receive a notice that meets these requirements, we act promptly to remove or disable access to the material and let the customer who provided it know. A community's logo is not written to the blockchain, so we can remove it from everything we host and display. A community's name is written to the blockchain when its pass is created and cannot be erased there, but we can stop displaying it, and the community can reissue its pass under another name.

Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

4. Counter-notices

If material you provided was removed and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you can send our designated agent a counter-notice that includes:

• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the material that was removed and 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 where your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Skye Meta may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

We forward a valid counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to stop the infringement, we restore the material within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice.

5. Repeat infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances, suspend or end the accounts, licenses and communities of customers who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others.
