Copyright & Takedown Policy

This Copyright & Takedown Policy ("Policy") forms part of the SOUND.RADAR Terms of Service and explains how rights holders can report content they believe infringes their rights, and how we respond. It applies to all Customer Content hosted, published, distributed or shared through SOUND.RADAR, operated by TAEON Branding Agency Pte. Ltd. ("we"). Capitalised terms have the meaning given in the Terms. This Policy supplements Section 19 (Copyright and Takedown Notices) of the Terms.

1. Our Role

• SOUND.RADAR is a hosting and intermediary service. Customers, not us, are responsible for the Customer Content they upload, publish, distribute or share — including smart links, landing pages, artwork, audio, video, blog/newsroom posts, demos, images and metadata.
• We have no obligation to pre-screen content, but we act on valid notices and may remove or disable content as set out below.
• We operate this notice-and-takedown procedure to comply with applicable safe-harbour and intermediary-liability frameworks, including the Korean Copyright Act, the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. §512) and the EU Digital Services Act, to the extent each applies.

2. Filing a Takedown Notice

Submit the form at the bottom of this page, or send a notice to contact@taeon.one with the subject line "Copyright Takedown". To be actionable, your notice must include:

• your full name, organisation and the rights holder you represent;
• identification of the copyrighted work or other right (e.g. sound recording, composition, artwork, photograph, video, trademark, name or likeness) you claim is infringed;
• the exact URL(s) or location on SOUND.RADAR of the allegedly infringing material;
• evidence of your ownership or authority (e.g. ISRC/UPC, distribution or licence agreement, registration, prior publication);
• your contact details (email, and where relevant phone and address);
• a good-faith statement that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent or the law;
• a statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury where applicable, that you are the rights holder or authorised to act on its behalf;
• your physical or electronic signature.

3. What We Do on a Valid Notice

• We may promptly and without prior notice remove or disable access to the material, restrict the relevant link, page, campaign or account, or request an explanation from the Customer.
• We will make reasonable efforts to notify the affected Customer and to forward your notice — which may include your identity and contact details — so they can respond or submit a counter-notice.
• We are not the final adjudicator of rights disputes and are not responsible for resolving disputes between the complainant and the Customer.

4. Counter-Notice and Restoration

A Customer whose content was removed and who believes it was removed by mistake or misidentification may send a counter-notice to contact@taeon.one including:

• the Customer's name, contact details and account;
• identification of the removed material and its previous location/URL;
• a good-faith statement that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• consent to the jurisdiction set out in the Terms and acceptance of service of process from the complainant;
• the Customer's physical or electronic signature.

Where required by applicable law, we may restore the material a reasonable period after forwarding a valid counter-notice to the complainant, unless the complainant notifies us that it has commenced legal action. We may decline to restore material that is unlawful, abusive or otherwise in breach of the Terms or Acceptable Use Policy, regardless of any counter-notice.

5. Repeat Infringers

We may suspend or terminate, without refund, the accounts, workspaces, links or services of Customers who are the subject of repeated infringement notices, or in cases of obvious illegality or urgent harm. See the Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy.

6. Misuse of This Process

Knowingly submitting a false, abusive or bad-faith notice or counter-notice — for example to suppress lawful content, harass a competitor or misrepresent ownership — is prohibited and may result in liability for damages and loss of access to the Service. We may disregard incomplete, unclear, automated or bad-faith submissions.

7. Trademark, Image and Other Rights

The same procedure applies, with appropriate adaptation, to notices concerning trademarks, image and publicity rights, privacy, name, likeness, defamation and other third-party rights.

8. Distributed Releases

For content delivered to third-party stores and platforms through our distribution service, removal from SOUND.RADAR does not automatically remove copies already delivered to, cached by or distributed through those platforms, partners, search engines or user libraries. Takedown across those services may take additional time and depends on each platform's own process. See the Music Distribution Terms.

9. No Legal Advice

This Policy is operational and does not constitute legal advice. Nothing here waives any right or remedy available to us or any party, or constitutes an admission of any fact or liability.
