Copyright and Takedown Policy

Effective date: 2026-09-05. Part of the Terms of Service.

NextCommitHQ respects the intellectual property of others and expects users of NextCommitHQ Network to do the same. This policy explains how to report content you believe infringes your copyright, how a user can respond, and what we do with repeat infringers. It follows the notice-and-takedown process of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 512).

1. Designated agent

Send copyright notices to our designated agent:

NextCommitHQ (KCG LLC), Copyright Agent 1910 Pacific Ave, Suite 2000, PMB 2513, Dallas, TX 75201 Email: legal@nextcommithq.com

(Registration of this agent with the U.S. Copyright Office is to be completed before launch; the registered details will be shown here.)

2. Sending a takedown notice

Your notice must be in writing and include:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or a representative list if there are several.
2. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and enough information for us to locate it, such as the page link and a description.
3. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. 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.
5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Notices that omit required elements may not be acted on. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. 512(f).

3. What we do with a valid notice

We remove or disable access to the material promptly, notify the user who posted it, and give them a copy of the notice (without your contact details if you ask us to withhold them and the law permits). We record the action in our audit trail.

4. Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the designated agent that includes:

1. Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
2. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
3. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any district in which NextCommitHQ may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.
5. Your physical or electronic signature.

We will forward the counter-notice to the original complainant. If they do not tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the infringement, we may restore the material within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice.

5. Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts of users who are the subject of repeated valid infringement notices, and we may terminate after a single notice in serious cases.

6. Other intellectual property and content complaints

For trademark complaints, privacy complaints (including content that identifies a minor), or defamation, email legal@nextcommithq.com with the page link and a description. Content identifying a minor is removed on receipt of a credible report; see Athlete Safety and Screening.

7. Your content and our rights

The license you grant us in the Terms covers only what is needed to operate the Network. Posting drills, plays, practice plans, or other coaching material you did not create, without the right to do so, violates the Acceptable Use Policy as well as this policy.
