Last updated: 01.05.2025

Respect for intellectual property is fundamental to https://dubaicruises.org/ (the “Site”). This DMCA & Copyright Policy (the “Policy”) describes how Global Travel Guide Ltd. (“we“, “our“, “us“) addresses allegations of copyright infringement in compliance with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. §512) (“DMCA”) and analogous international regimes (EU Copyright Directive 2019/790, UK CDPA 1988, WIPO Internet Treaties, etc.). Capitalised terms not defined here carry the meaning set out in our Terms & Conditions of Use.

  1. POLICY STATEMENT

1.1 We respect the copyrights of others and expect Users to do the same. It is our policy to: (a) respond expeditiously to valid notices of alleged infringement; (b) remove or disable access to material that we in good faith believe infringes a copyright; and (c) terminate, in appropriate circumstances, repeat infringing User accounts, if any.

  1. DESIGNATED DMCA AGENT

2.1 Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(2), we have designated the following agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement:

  1. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE

3.1 Content Identification. Identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed or—in the case of multiple works—a representative list.

3.6 Signature. Provide your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name suffices for electronic submission).

3.7 Submission. Send the complete notice to the Designated DMCA Agent via email or post. Incomplete notices may be ignored.

  1. REMOVAL PROCEDURE

4.1 Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will: (a) promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material; (b) notify the User who posted the material (“Alleged Infringer”) that the content has been removed; and (c) provide a copy of the notice to the Alleged Infringer.

4.2 We may share the notice with the Lumen Database (lumendatabase.org) for transparency, unless you request otherwise.

  1. COUNTER‑NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE

5.1 If you, the Alleged Infringer, believe the material was removed in error or misidentification, you may file a DMCA counter‑notice containing:

  • 5.1.1 Identification of removed material and its original location on the Site;
  • 5.1.2 Your name, address and telephone number;
  • 5.1.3 A statement under penalty of perjury: “I have a good‑faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.”;
  • 5.1.4 Consent to the jurisdiction of (i) the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district where your address is located, or (ii) the courts of the British Virgin Islands if you reside outside the USA; and agreement to accept service of process from the notifier or its agent;
  • 5.1.5 Your physical or electronic signature.

5.2 Submit the counter‑notice to our Designated DMCA Agent. Upon receipt, we will forward it to the notifier. If within 10 business days we do not receive notice that the notifier has filed an action seeking a court order, we may restore the material at our discretion.

  1. REPEAT INFRINGER POLICY

6.1 We maintain a repeat‑infringer log. Users for whom we receive two (2) valid infringement notices within a 12‑month period—or one egregious infringement—may have their accounts or ability to post content permanently terminated.

6.2 “Egregious” includes large‑scale copying, circumventing technical protection measures, or previously adjudicated infringement.

  1. MISREPRESENTATIONS & PENALTIES

7.1 Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or was removed by mistake, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

  1. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (OPTIONAL)

8.1 At our discretion, we may offer complainant and Alleged Infringer the option of resolving the dispute via a neutral WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center online expedited procedure. Participation is voluntary and does not waive statutory rights.

  1. GOVERNING LAW

9.1 This Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands, without regard to conflict‑of‑law principles, except that claims under the DMCA shall be adjudicated under U.S. federal law.

  1. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
