Copyright / DMCA Policy

1. Scope and Service Provider Status

RYSTAT (operated by Unifics Limited) provides web hosting, virtual server, business email, domain registration, AI website builder, and related infrastructure services. In this capacity RYSTAT acts as an intermediary service provider hosting content uploaded by its customers. RYSTAT does not endorse, monitor, or control the content of customer websites in advance and is generally not liable for such content under applicable safe-harbor regimes.

This policy explains how copyright holders may submit takedown requests for allegedly infringing material hosted on RYSTAT infrastructure, how affected customers may submit a counter-notification, and how RYSTAT addresses repeat infringement.

2. Designated Copyright Agent

RYSTAT has designated the following agent to receive copyright infringement notifications under the DMCA and equivalent regimes:

Please note that submitting fraudulent or knowingly false notifications may expose you to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under 17 U.S.C. §512(f) and equivalent national laws.

3. Submitting a Notice of Claimed Infringement

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a notice of claimed infringement must be a written communication that includes substantially all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, with sufficient information to enable RYSTAT to locate it (e.g. the full URL, file path, or domain).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit RYSTAT to contact you, including your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

3.1 Recommended template

Incomplete notices may be rejected or returned for clarification. The faster you provide a complete notice, the faster RYSTAT can act.

4. RYSTAT's Response

Upon receipt of a valid notice, RYSTAT will:

• Acknowledge receipt to the complainant within a reasonable period (typically 1–3 business days).
• Conduct a preliminary review for completeness and apparent validity.
• Forward the notice (with personal data redacted where appropriate) to the affected customer.
• Take expeditious action to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material in accordance with the safe-harbor framework.
• Inform the affected customer of the takedown and of their right to submit a counter-notification.

For severe or repeated cases (malware, child sexual abuse material, large-scale piracy), RYSTAT may suspend or terminate the customer account immediately and report the matter to the competent authorities.

5. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you are a RYSTAT customer whose material was removed pursuant to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to dmca@rystat.com. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), a counter-notification must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of (i) the judicial district in which your address is located if in the United States, or (ii) the High Court of Hong Kong SAR if your address is outside the United States, and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant or their agent.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, RYSTAT will forward a copy to the original complainant. Unless the complainant files a lawsuit seeking a court order against the customer within 10 to 14 business days, RYSTAT may, at its discretion, restore the removed material.

6. Repeat-Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. §512(i), RYSTAT maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of customers who are deemed to be repeat infringers. The internal escalation framework is:

• First valid notice: formal written warning and removal of the infringing material.
• Second valid notice: service suspension for 7 days and a compliance review.
• Third valid notice: permanent account termination with no refund for the unused service period.

RYSTAT may apply a stricter response (including immediate termination) in cases involving manifest illegality (e.g. child sexual abuse material, malware command-and-control, large-scale fraud).

7. Trademark, Right of Publicity and Other IP Claims

For complaints relating to trademarks, the right of publicity, or other intellectual property rights not covered by copyright, please contact legal@rystat.com with substantially the same level of detail as required for a DMCA notice. RYSTAT may apply notice-and-takedown principles by analogy.

8. EU Digital Services Act and National Notice-and-Action

For users in the European Union, the DSA-compliant notice-and-action mechanism is provided at legal@rystat.com. For users in Türkiye, takedown requests under Law No. 5651 should be addressed to legal@rystat.com with the case number issued by BTK or the relevant court. RYSTAT cooperates fully with valid orders issued by competent authorities.

9. Privacy and Personal Data

Notices submitted under this policy may contain personal data and will be processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy. RYSTAT may forward notices to the affected customer or to the law-enforcement authorities; you should not submit information you do not want disclosed in this manner.

10. Updates to This Policy

RYSTAT may update this DMCA Policy to reflect changes in the law or its operational practices. The current version is available at /legal/dmca. Material changes will be communicated through the customer panel or by email.
