2. Inform them they have 10 business days to file a court action

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

We will terminate accounts of users who are repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is:

• A user who has received multiple DMCA notices
• A user who has had content removed multiple times

Generally, three confirmed infringements result in account termination.

7. What Content is Covered

This policy applies to all user-generated content including:

• Photos and images uploaded to jobs or invoices
• Documents and files
• Company logos and branding
• Email and message templates
• Custom form content

8. Fair Use

Before filing a DMCA notice, consider whether the use constitutes fair use under US copyright law. Fair use may apply to:

• Commentary and criticism
• News reporting
• Teaching and education
• Research
• Parody

Fair use is determined case-by-case based on purpose, nature, amount used, and market effect.

9. International Copyright

While this policy is based on US DMCA law, we respect copyright globally. If you're outside the US, we'll still process your notice, but please provide the legal basis for your claim in your jurisdiction.

10. Trademark Claims

For trademark infringement claims, email trademark@lead-z.com with:

• Description of your trademark
