DMCA & Copyright Policy

Last updated: March 23, 2026

NorthSchema ("we," "us," or "the Company") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of SchemaSpace (the "Platform") to do the same. This policy outlines our procedures for responding to claims of copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

1. How SchemaSpace Handles Third-Party Content

SchemaSpace aggregates publicly available content from third-party sources through RSS feeds, public APIs, and other publicly accessible endpoints. The Platform displays:

• Headlines and excerpts from news RSS feeds, as provided by the publisher in their RSS feed.
• Post metadata from social media platforms (titles, excerpts, thumbnails).
• AI-generated summaries of publicly available content, which are original analytical works and not reproductions of source material.
• Links to original content on the source publisher's website.

The Platform does not reproduce full articles, full video content, or other complete copyrighted works. Users are directed to original sources for full content.

2. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. Your notice must include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including the URL or other specific location on the Platform where the material appears, with enough detail for us to locate it.
4. Your contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have 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 notification is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

3. Designated Agent

DMCA takedown notices should be sent to our designated agent:

We aim to respond to valid DMCA notices within 5 business days.

4. Our Response to Valid Notices

Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will:

• Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
• Notify the user who posted the content (if applicable) that the material has been removed.
• Provide the user with information about how to file a counter-notification if they believe the removal was in error.

5. Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you posted was removed in error or due to misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent. Your counter-notification must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
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 name, address, and telephone number, and 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 outside the United States, the Southern District of Florida), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the original complainant does not file a court action within 10-14 business days, we will restore the removed material.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA, we maintain a policy of terminating accounts of users who are repeat infringers. A user who receives three valid DMCA takedown notices may have their account terminated. We consider the circumstances of each case and reserve the right to terminate accounts with fewer notices in egregious cases.

7. Good Faith & Misuse

The DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be subject to liability. Please ensure that your takedown notice or counter-notification is accurate before submitting it.

8. RSS Content & Feed Aggregation

SchemaSpace aggregates content through RSS feeds and public APIs that content publishers have made available for this purpose. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format specifically designed to allow third-party applications to access and display content. By publishing an RSS feed, publishers generally authorize third parties to access and display the content included in that feed.

If you are a publisher and do not wish your RSS content to appear on SchemaSpace, you may:

• Contact us at dmca@schemaspace.co to request removal of your source from the Platform.
• Modify your RSS feed to restrict third-party access.

We will promptly honor removal requests from content publishers.
