Effective Date: March 1, 2026
KORA Sound (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects intellectual property rights and strictly complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable laws. As a marketplace for digital music and audio assets, we do not create or endorse content. We provide automated tools for creators to share and sell their work.
You retain all ownership rights in your Content. However, by submitting Content to KORA Sound, you agree that you are solely responsible for your own Content and the consequences of publishing it. You affirm, represent, and warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to publish the Content you submit.
If you believe content on our platform infringes your copyright, please follow the takedown procedure below.
1. How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice We act expeditiously to remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material upon receipt of a valid notice. To submit a notice, email our designated DMCA Agent at legal@korasound.studio or use our online DMCA Takedown Form.
Your written notice must include all of the following:
- Your Contact Information: Full legal name, physical address, phone number, and email address.
- Identification of the Copyrighted Work: Clearly identify the copyrighted work(s) you claim to be infringed.

- Signature: Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name is sufficient).
Note: We will respond within 24-48 hours during business days to investigate and remove/disable the content if the notice is valid.
2. Counter-Notification Process If your content is removed due to a DMCA notice and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification (e.g., Fair Use), you may submit a counter-notice to legal@korasound.studio.
Your counter-notice must include:
- Identification of Removed Material: The specific URL/location of the material before it was removed.
- Good Faith Statement: A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed in error.

3. Repeat Infringer Policy KORA Sound maintains a strict “Three-Strikes” policy to protect intellectual property. Users who repeatedly infringe copyrights (receiving 3 valid DMCA notices within a 12-month period) will have their accounts immediately suspended or terminated, including the forfeiture of any unpaid platform earnings.
4. Misrepresentation & Liability Submitting a false or malicious DMCA notice or counter-notice is a serious offense and may result in liability for damages, including legal fees. KORA Sound reserves the right to seek reimbursement for costs incurred due to baseless claims.
