We respect intellectual property rights and expect our users to do the same.

- Notify the user who posted the content and give them an opportunity to respond;
- Remove or disable the content if the claim appears valid; and
- Maintain a record of the request for legal compliance.
Our goal is to resolve takedown requests within 10 business days of receipt, where practicable.

Users who repeatedly upload content found to infringe copyright may have their accounts suspended or permanently terminated.
GYRO reserves the right to disable access to any user who violates this Policy more than once, at our sole discretion.
6. Good-Faith and False Claims
