Copyright & DMCA Policy

1. Our Approach

Word2Talk converts content a user already has access to into audio for that same user, at their direction. We respect the rights of copyright holders. If you believe content is being made available through the Service in a way that infringes your copyright, you can ask us to remove it using the process below, and we will respond promptly.

2. Reporting Infringement (Takedown Notice)

To report material you believe infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Copyright Agent (section 4) that includes all of the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works).
• Identification of the material you claim is infringing and enough information for us to locate it — for example, the article URL as it appears in the Service.
• Your contact information: name, 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.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

On receipt of a valid notice, we will expeditiously remove or disable access to the material and, where applicable, purge our stored copies of it.

3. Publisher Opt-Out

If you operate a website and would like Word2Talk's servers to stop fetching, caching, or otherwise processing your domain, email our agent below with the domain. We honor robots.txt and X-Robots-Tag directives, and we maintain a domain opt-out list that takes effect server-side without requiring a formal takedown notice.

4. Designated Copyright Agent

Send takedown notices, counter-notices, and opt-out requests to:

• Niloufar Sedarati
• Word2Talk, L.L.C.
• 200 S 1st St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104, USA
• Email: legal@word2talk.com

5. Counter-Notice

If you believe your material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send our agent a counter-notice that includes:

• 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, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district where you are located (or, if outside the United States, the Western District of Michigan), 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 material in 10 to 14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity.

6. Repeat Infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
