8. Repeat Infringer Policy

Escrowfy maintains a repeat infringer policy and will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is a user who has been the subject of multiple valid infringement notices or who has engaged in a pattern of infringing activity.

Factors we consider in determining repeat infringer status include:

• The number of valid infringement notices received for the user
• The timeframe in which the notices were received
• The user's response to the notices
• Whether the user has submitted valid counter-notices
• The user's history of compliance with our policies

9. False Claims

Making false claims of intellectual property infringement may expose you to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. If you are unsure whether material on our platform infringes your intellectual property rights, please consult with an attorney before filing a notice.

Escrowfy reserves the right to disregard notices or counter-notices that contain misrepresentations about the infringement or ownership of intellectual property.

10. Changes to This Policy

Escrowfy reserves the right to modify this Copyright & IP Policy at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting to the website. We will notify users of significant changes via email or platform notification. Your continued use of our platform after such changes constitutes acceptance of the modified policy.
