DMCA Copyright Policy
1. Platform Overview
TierMaker allows users to create and share "tier list" templates — collage-style ranking tools used for opinion, commentary, and satire. Users independently upload all images. TierMaker acts solely as a passive hosting intermediary with no editorial control over user-submitted content.
Images are displayed in small thumbnail format as part of multi-image assemblages (typically 10–1,000+ images per template), consistent with commentary and transformative use.
2. Designated DMCA Agent
Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2), our designated agent for copyright infringement notices is:
Fargo, ND 58103 · United States
U.S. Copyright Office · copyright.gov/dmca-directory
Email is strongly preferred and ensures expeditious handling as required by law.
3. Filing a Takedown Notice
To submit a valid notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), email [email protected] with all of the following:
4. Our Response
Upon receipt of a complete, valid notice, TierMaker will promptly remove or disable access to the identified material, notify the uploading user, and document our action. Removal does not constitute an admission that any infringement occurred.
5. Counter-Notice
If you believe your content was removed by mistake, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) to [email protected]. A valid counter-notice must include:
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. Absent a court order, we may restore the material within 10–14 business days at our discretion.
6. Repeat Infringer Policy
Per 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), TierMaker maintains a policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users who are repeat infringers. Users with multiple substantiated infringement notices may have their accounts suspended or permanently terminated without prior notice.
7. Safe Harbor & Fair Use
TierMaker qualifies for safe harbor protection under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c). We do not have actual knowledge of infringing material, do not receive a direct financial benefit attributable to specific infringements, and respond expeditiously to valid takedown notices.
Some user content may qualify as fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107 — including commentary, criticism, parody, and satire. TierMaker takes no position on fair use claims on behalf of its users. Users who believe their content qualifies as fair use are encouraged to consult legal counsel.
8. Policy Updates
TierMaker reserves the right to modify this policy at any time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of TierMaker constitutes acceptance of any updated policy.
