DMCA and Intellectual Property Policy

1. Intellectual-property notice contact

All IP-infringement notices and counter-notices must be sent to:

• Recipient: IP-Notice Contact, PATHWAY TRAVEL PTE. LTD.
• Brand: International Driving Authority
• Mailing address: 105 Cecil Street, #18-18, The Octagon, Singapore 069534
• Email: dmca@internationaldrivingauthority.com

Frameworks applied. We process IP-infringement notices under the Singapore Copyright Act 2021 Part 8 (primary; the section 192–198 notice-and-takedown regime applicable to network service providers). For US-facing notices, we follow the format prescribed by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) for consistency with US rights-holder practice, but we do not claim the US DMCA § 512 safe harbor (it is unavailable to non-US service providers). Notices that meet either framework's requirements will be acted on within the timelines below.

2. How to submit a takedown notice

A written notice of alleged infringement must include all of the following information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, with sufficient information for us to locate it (URL or equivalent).
4. Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Important. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing or was removed or disabled by mistake may be liable for damages.

3. Our response

Upon receipt of a notice that substantially complies with § 512(c)(3), we will act expeditiously to:

1. Remove or disable access to the material identified;
2. Notify the user who submitted the material (where we can identify them); and
3. Record the incident for our repeat-infringer tracking.

4. Counter-notice procedure (17 U.S.C. § 512(g))

If you believe material you submitted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to our Designated Agent containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, the Southern District of Florida; and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under § 512(c) or an agent of such person.

Upon receipt of a compliant counter-notice, we will:

1. Forward the counter-notice to the original complainant; and
2. Unless the complainant files an action seeking a court order against the user within 10 to 14 business days, restore the material or cease disabling access to it.

5. Repeat-infringer policy

We maintain a repeat-infringer policy pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(1)(A). Accounts, order histories, or access associated with users who are the subject of multiple good-faith complaints of copyright infringement are subject to suspension or termination across all brands operated by PATHWAY TRAVEL PTE. LTD. (UEN 202401009W, a Singapore private company limited by shares wholly owned by International Automobile Authority LLC).

6. Trademark complaints

If you believe your trademark rights are being infringed on our website, please send a complaint to dmca@internationaldrivingauthority.com with:

1. Identification of the trademark (including registration number where applicable);
2. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location on our site;
3. Your contact information;
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized;
5. Your signature.
