Verse Communications PBC dba Divine (“Divine”) respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). This policy describes how Divine responds to claims of copyright infringement involving Divine-controlled infrastructure.
For purposes of the DMCA, Divine has designated contact@divine.video as its agent for receiving notices of claimed infringement.
“Divine-controlled infrastructure” means websites, apps, relays, media storage, APIs, and other systems owned or controlled by Divine.
“Externally hosted content” means any video, image, audio file, or other media referenced within a Nostr event that is stored on third-party infrastructure.
“Nostr” means the decentralized protocol known as “Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays,” which enables users to publish, retrieve, and verify content using cryptographic keypairs and signed messages.
“Nostr event” means a cryptographically signed data object published using the Nostr protocol. A Nostr event may include a public key, timestamp, event kind, content, tags, metadata, and a digital signature. Once broadcast, Nostr events may be stored or replicated across multiple independent relays, including relays Divine does not own or control.
“Nostr keypair” means the cryptographic public/private keypair used to create, sign, and authenticate Nostr events. The public key functions as a user identifier across the Nostr protocol, and the private key is required to sign events and prove authorship.
“Relay” means any independently operated server implementing the Nostr protocol for receiving, storing, indexing, or redistributing Nostr events. Unless expressly stated otherwise, relays are not operated by Divine.
“User content” means any Nostr event, media, metadata, username, profile information, or other material submitted, published, uploaded, linked, or otherwise made available by a user through the Divine™ app (the “Service”), whether hosted by Divine or externally.
If you believe that content available through Divine-controlled infrastructure infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice to contact@divine.video .
A valid notice must include your contact information, identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location, a statement of good faith belief that the use is not authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate, and your signature.
Upon receipt of a facially valid notice, Divine may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material on Divine-controlled infrastructure and may take additional action, including restricting access for repeat infringers.
Divine evaluates notices for facial validity but does not adjudicate the underlying legal merits of any claim.
Where appropriate, Divine may make reasonable efforts to notify the user who posted the content and provide information about the claim and the process for submitting a counter-notification.
Users may submit counter-notifications as permitted by law. A valid counter-notification must include identification of the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury, consent to jurisdiction, and the user’s contact information.
Divine may forward counter-notifications to the original complainant. Where required by law, Divine may restore removed content if the complainant does not initiate legal action within the applicable time period.
Divine maintains a policy of addressing repeat infringement and may restrict or terminate access for users who repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights.
Divine can remove or disable access to content only on systems it owns or controls. If the underlying material is stored on independent relays, third-party hosts, or archives, requests to remove that material must be directed to the relevant operator.
Users are responsible for ensuring that they have the rights, licenses, and permissions necessary to publish or reference content through the Service.
Submitting false or misleading claims may result in liability under applicable law.
The Service may provide tools such as blocking, muting, filtering, and moderation lists that allow users to manage their experience. These controls apply within Divine-operated interfaces as implemented by Divine.
This policy operates alongside the Terms of Service. Users retain ownership of their content but grant Divine a license to use that content as described in the Terms.
