DMCA
At The USA Trend (accessible at https://theusatrend.com), we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users and contributors to do the same.
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Policy explains how we handle copyright infringement notices and what you can do if your copyrighted material appears on our website without permission.
1. Introduction
The USA Trend follows the provisions of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512.
Our policy is to promptly investigate and respond to any claims of copyright infringement involving our website content.
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied, reproduced, or distributed on TheUSATrend.com in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you can submit a written DMCA notice as outlined below.
2. Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act on behalf of one), please submit a written notification including the following details:
Your full name, address, telephone number, and email address.
A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
The exact URL or specific location on TheUSATrend.com where the allegedly infringing material is located.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed 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 authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

(We do not process DMCA notices submitted through social media or comment sections.)
3. What Happens After You Submit a DMCA Notice
Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice:
We will review the claim promptly.
If the notice is complete and valid, we may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
We will then notify the user or content contributor responsible for the content.
If that user believes the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, they may submit a counter-notification (see below).
4. Submitting a Counter-Notification
If you believe your content was removed or disabled in error, you may submit a written counter-notice containing:
Your full name, address, telephone number, and email address.
Identification of the material that was removed and the URL where it appeared before removal.
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or in the Middle District of Tennessee if you live outside the United States).
Your physical or electronic signature.
Counter-notices should also be sent using our Contact Page.
5. Repeat Infringers
In compliance with the DMCA, The USA Trend will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate or restrict accounts or access for users who repeatedly post infringing material.
