DMCA Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. Introduction

Rally HQ ("we," "us," "our") — operated by Signal X Studio LLC — respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. This policy describes how copyright holders can submit notices of alleged infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512, and how users may respond.

Rally HQ qualifies as a service provider under the DMCA and seeks to maintain its safe harbor protections under 17 U.S.C. §512(c). Compliance with this policy is a condition of using the Service.

2. Designated Agent

To submit a notice of claimed copyright infringement, contact our Designated Agent using the information below.

Rally HQ's Designated Agent is registered with the United States Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory at https://www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory/

3. Submitting a Notice of Claimed Infringement (Takedown Notice)

To be actionable under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)(A), a written takedown notice sent to our Designated Agent must include all six of the following elements:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the owner of the allegedly infringed copyrighted work, or of a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or — if multiple works at a single site are covered — a representative list of those works.
  3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material with sufficient detail to allow us to locate it on the Service. For Rally HQ content, this may include the URL, tournament name, team name, court name, match ID, or file path.
  4. Contact information for the complaining party: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement made under penalty of perjury that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in the notice is accurate, and that the complaining party is the copyright owner or is authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Notices that do not include all six elements may not be actionable under §512 and may not receive a response. Send complete notices to the Designated Agent at dmca@rallyhq.app.

4. Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you uploaded was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3). A valid counter-notification must include all four of the following elements:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  3. A statement made 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 name, address, and telephone number, plus 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, any judicial district in which Rally HQ may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original takedown notice.

After we receive a complete and valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless the complainant files a court action seeking to restrain the restoration of the material within 10–14 business days of receiving the counter-notice, we may restore the removed material at our discretion. We are not obligated to restore material and assume no liability for doing so or failing to do so.

5. Repeat-Infringer Policy

17 U.S.C. §512(i) requires service providers to adopt and reasonably implement a policy for terminating accounts of repeat infringers.

Rally HQ maintains a policy of terminating accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Tournament Organizers who receive multiple valid DMCA takedown notices for content they upload — or for content uploaded by participants in tournaments they organize when the Organizer has been notified and failed to act — may have their account suspended or terminated. We maintain records of takedown notices and our responses to enable enforcement of this policy.

We will not terminate accounts in response to notices that we determine lack merit or are submitted in bad faith. Determinations are made in our sole discretion.

6. Misrepresentation

17 U.S.C. §512(f) provides:

Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner or their licensee, or the service provider. Submit takedown notices and counter-notifications in good faith.

7. No Legal Advice

This policy summarizes Rally HQ's procedures for handling copyright claims under the DMCA and is provided for informational purposes only. It is not legal advice. Copyright law is complex and fact-specific. If you have questions about your rights under copyright law — whether as a rights holder or as a user — consult a qualified attorney.

8. Updates

We may update this DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, our procedures, or the Service. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any material change. Continued use of Rally HQ after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
