Copyright Policy

1. Before sending a notice

Confirm that the disputed material appears on StayClarity, identify the exact review URL, and consider whether the use is authorized by a license, an exception, or a limitation such as fair use. A link to a third-party listing does not mean StayClarity hosts the listing’s content; contact the third-party site about material hosted there.

2. Copyright notice

Send a written notice to copyright@stayclarity.com containing all of the following:

1. your physical or electronic signature, as the rights holder or a person authorized to act for the rights holder;
2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers multiple works;
3. identification of the disputed material and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, including the exact StayClarity review URL and whether the issue is text or a particular photo;
4. your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law; and
6. a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner of the allegedly infringed exclusive right.

A complete notice helps us act promptly. We may request missing information and may share the notice, including contact information, with the contributor or a transparency service where permitted by law.

3. What happens next

We review notices in good faith, may disable or remove the identified material, and will take reasonable steps to notify the contributor. We may preserve a restricted copy and related records for a dispute, legal hold, or compliance purpose. A contributor who repeatedly infringes copyright may have content removed or their account suspended or ended, taking account of context and valid counter-notices.

4. Counter-notice

If your content was removed or disabled because of a copyright notice and you believe that happened through mistake or misidentification, reply to the notice or email copyright@stayclarity.com with a written counter-notice containing:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material removed or disabled and where it appeared before removal, including the StayClarity review URL;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification; and
4. your name, mailing address, and telephone number, plus a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States Federal District Court for your address, or if you are outside the United States, a federal judicial district where StayClarity may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

We may send a valid counter-notice to the claimant. Where the applicable process requires it, we may restore the material after 10 to 14 business days unless the claimant tells us it filed a court action seeking to restrain the disputed activity. Restoration is not guaranteed if the material independently violates our Terms or Community Guidelines.

5. Other countries and other rights

Rights holders outside the United States may use the same email and provide the work, exact material, basis of the claim, applicable country, and reliable contact details. Trademark, privacy, impersonation, and other non-copyright concerns should be reported through the review’s Report control or to legal@stayclarity.com.

6. Misrepresentations

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice can create legal liability. Do not submit a notice to silence criticism or remove material you do not own. Consider obtaining independent legal advice if you are unsure about ownership, authorization, an exception, or the required statements.
