Operative — legal review in progress
This policy is current and operative; a final legal review is in progress — last updated 2026-07-11. It is written to be clear and protective, but it is not legal advice. If anything here conflicts with a signed agreement between you and Champlin Enterprises, that agreement controls.
1. Designated copyright agent
Send DMCA notices to our designated agent:
DMCA Designated AgentChamplin Enterprises — SafeHaven
[MAILING ADDRESS — PENDING]
Email: dmca@safehavenkink.com
Email is the fastest channel. Please do not send unrelated correspondence to the agent; general questions go to legal@safehavenkink.com.
2. How to file a takedown notice
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), your written notice must include substantially the following:
- your physical or electronic signature (the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for them);
- identification of the copyrighted work you claim was infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works);
- identification of the material you claim is infringing and enough information for us to locate it — ideally the exact URL(s) or in-app location on SafeHaven;
- your contact information — name, mailing address, telephone number, and email;
- 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, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
Please note that under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), knowingly making a material misrepresentation that content is infringing may expose you to liability for damages.
3. What we do with a valid notice
On receiving a notice that substantially complies with the DMCA, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material, and we will make a reasonable effort to notify the member who posted it, forwarding a copy of your notice (including your contact details, unless a redaction is legally appropriate).
4. Counter-notification
If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to dmca@safehavenkink.com including substantially the following (per 17 U.S.C. §512(g)):
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the material that was removed and the location 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, mailing address, and telephone number; and
- a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the U.S., any judicial district in which SafeHaven may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice.
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the removed content in 10 to 14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
5. Repeat-infringer policy
Consistent with the DMCA, Champlin Enterprises maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of members who are repeat infringers of copyright. We may also terminate an account for a single egregious infringement. This policy is in addition to the enforcement rights in our Terms of Service.
