GYRO – Copyright & Takedown Policy
This Copyright & Takedown Policy (“Policy”) outlines how GYRO Team (“GYRO”, “we”, “us”, “our”) handles claims of copyright infringement or unauthorised use of content within the GYRO mobile application and related services.
We respect intellectual property rights and expect all users to do the same.
If you believe that content hosted on GYRO infringes your copyright or other IP rights, you may submit a takedown request as described below.
1. Scope of This Policy
This Policy applies to all content hosted,displayed, or distributed within GYRO, including but not limited to:
- User-generated content (e.g., ShipsReview, comments, chat posts, uploaded images or documents);
- Educational materials or illustrations shared by moderators;
- Any other text, image, video, or document distributed through the app or website.
2. Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you believe your copyrighted material has been used without authorisation, please submit a written notice containing the following:

- Acknowledge receipt of the notice;

- Notify the user responsible for the content;
- Evaluate the claim and remove or reinstate content as appropriate;
- Maintain a record of the claim for compliance purposes.
GYRO aims to resolve copyright complaints within 10 business days, where practicable.
4. Counter-Notification Procedure
If you believe your content was removed in error or due to misidentification, you may submit a Counter-Notification including:
- Your name, address, and contact information;
- The location and description of the removed content;
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the content was removed in error;
- A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria, Australia; and

If a valid counter-notice is received, GYRO may restore the content within 10–14 days, unless the original complainant initiates legal action.
5. Repeat Infringer Policy
Users who repeatedly upload or share infringing content may have their accounts suspended or permanently terminated.
GYRO reserves the right to remove content or disable access for any user who violates this Policy more than once, at our discretion.
6. Good-Faith and False Claims
Submitting false, misleading, or malicious copyright notices is a serious violation of this Policy.
Anyone who knowingly misrepresents infringement or non-infringement may be liable for damages, including legal costs.
GYRO encourages all parties to act in good faith and resolve issues professionally.
7. Educational and Fair Use Disclaimer
Many materials within GYRO are used under educational, informational, or illustrative purposes consistent with fair use under copyright law.
