DMCA Policy

1. Overview

Beltech Corp Holdings ("Company," "we," "us") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all users of the CAST platform ("Platform") to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. Section 512, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Platform that are reported to our designated copyright agent.

This policy also covers claims related to unauthorized use of likeness, voice, or persona rights in AI-generated digital talent clones, which we treat with the same seriousness as traditional copyright claims.

2. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that content on the Platform infringes your copyright, please submit a written notification containing the following information to our designated DMCA agent:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., URL, talent profile name, or production title).
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
• 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.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

3. Reporting Unauthorized Likeness or Persona Use

If you believe that an AI clone on the Platform uses your likeness, voice, or persona without your authorization, submit a notification containing:

• Your full legal name and contact information.
• A description of the likeness, voice, or persona elements that are being used without authorization.
• Identification of the specific Clone listing or content that uses your likeness, with sufficient information for us to locate it.
• Evidence establishing that you are the person whose likeness is being used (e.g., government-issued ID, professional portfolio).
• A statement that you have not authorized the use of your likeness in the identified Clone or content.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

4. Designated DMCA Agent

All DMCA notices and likeness/persona claims should be sent to our designated agent at:

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

5. Our Response to Notices

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice or likeness takedown request, we will:

• Acknowledge receipt of the notice within two (2) business days.
• Promptly investigate the claim.
• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material while the investigation is pending, typically within 24-48 hours of receiving a complete and valid notice.
• Notify the user who posted the material of the takedown and provide a copy of the notice (with your personal contact information redacted, if requested).
• Preserve evidence related to the claim for potential legal proceedings.

6. Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our DMCA agent containing:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled.
• 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 of the material.
• 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 your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the Company may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party. If the original party does not file a court action within ten (10) business days, we may restore the material.

7. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Platform or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Our repeat infringer policy operates as follows:

• First Offense: The infringing content is removed and the user receives a formal warning with a record of the violation.
• Second Offense: The infringing content is removed, the user's ability to list new Clones or create new productions is suspended for 30 days, and a final warning is issued.
• Third Offense: The user's account is permanently terminated, all Clone listings are removed, and any pending payouts are held pending resolution of outstanding claims.

8. Good Faith Requirement

We remind all parties that DMCA notices and counter-notices are legal documents. Filing a false or misleading DMCA notice may result in liability under Section 512(f) of the DMCA. We reserve the right to seek damages from any party who submits a fraudulent notice.

9. Accommodation of Standard Technical Measures

The Company accommodates and does not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted works, as defined in Section 512(i)(2) of the DMCA.

10. AI-Specific Considerations

Given the AI-generated nature of content on the Platform, we apply the following additional standards:

• Claims regarding AI-generated output that is substantially similar to copyrighted works will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, considering the nature and extent of similarity.
• Clone listings that are demonstrated to be trained on copyrighted material without proper licensing may be subject to removal.
• We maintain audit logs of Clone creation and scene generation to assist in rights verification and dispute resolution.
• Producers who use AI talent to generate content that infringes third-party copyrights are in violation of our Terms of Service and subject to account enforcement.
