COPYRIGHT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY POLICY

Last Updated: 23rd of March 2026

1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

This Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy ("Policy") governs the protection, enforcement, and handling of intellectual property rights on the DramaMint platform (the "Platform"), operated by Nerqis Ltd, a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus (the "Company").

The Company respects intellectual property rights and expects all Creators, Users, and third parties interacting with the Platform to do the same. This Policy explains the obligations of Creators, the rights of intellectual property owners, the notice and action mechanisms implemented by the Company, and the measures taken in cases of alleged infringement.

This Policy forms an integral part of the DramaMint Terms and Conditions, the Community Guidelines, and the Creator / Contributor Terms & Licence Agreement. In the event of inconsistency, the contractual provisions of the Creator Agreement shall prevail in relation to Creators.

2. PLATFORM STATUS AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

The Company operates the Platform as a hosting and distribution service for digital audiovisual content uploaded by Creators.

The Company operates in accordance with applicable European Union law, including but not limited to Directive 2000/31/EC (E-Commerce Directive), Directive (EU) 2019/790 on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, and Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act).

The Company does not assume general monitoring obligations and is not required to actively seek facts or circumstances indicating illegal activity. However, upon obtaining actual knowledge of unlawful content or becoming aware of facts or circumstances from which illegality is apparent, the Company shall act expeditiously to remove or disable access to such content in accordance with applicable law.

3. CREATOR REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Creators are solely responsible for ensuring that any Digital Content uploaded to the Platform does not infringe any intellectual property or related rights.

By uploading Digital Content, the Creator represents and warrants that:

• The Creator owns or has obtained all necessary rights, licences, consents, releases, and permissions required for digital streaming, on-demand communication to the public, and commercial exploitation of the Digital Content on the Platform.
• All performers, authors, composers, directors, producers, contributors, and rightsholders have been lawfully contracted and compensated in a manner permitting exploitation through the Platform.
• No collective management organisation, guild, union, or rights society retains outstanding claims that would prevent distribution.
• The Digital Content does not infringe copyright, neighbouring rights, database rights, moral rights, trademark rights, design rights, trade secret rights, rights of publicity, privacy rights, or any other proprietary rights.

The Creator acknowledges that it bears full legal responsibility for infringement claims arising from its Digital Content and that indemnification obligations under the Creator Agreement apply.

4. PROHIBITED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CONDUCT

The following conduct is strictly prohibited on the Platform:

• Uploading copyrighted audiovisual works without authorisation.
• Uploading pirated films, episodes, scripts, artwork, sound recordings, or musical compositions.
• Using unlicensed background music, stock footage, sound effects, or third-party audiovisual material.
• Removing or altering copyright management information.
• Circumventing technological protection measures or digital rights management systems.
• Re-uploading content previously removed due to infringement.
• Impersonating a rights holder or falsely claiming ownership.

Any such conduct may result in immediate removal of content, suspension of account access, termination of the Creator Agreement, withholding of revenue share, and referral to competent authorities where required.

5. NOTICE OF ALLEGED ILLEGAL CONTENT (DSA ARTICLE 16 COMPLIANCE)

Any person or entity who considers that content available on the Platform constitutes illegal content, including infringement of copyright or other intellectual property rights, may submit a notice to the Company.

Notices may be submitted electronically via the designated contact email address published on the Platform [email protected].

In accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), a notice shall be considered valid where it is sufficiently precise and adequately substantiated to enable the Company to identify the allegedly illegal content and assess the claim.

To meet this standard, the notice shall include a reasoned explanation of why the content is considered illegal, clear identification of the specific content concerned and its location on the Platform, the name and electronic contact details of the person submitting the notice, and a statement confirming the good faith belief that the information and allegations contained therein are accurate and complete.

Where the notice concerns alleged intellectual property infringement, the complainant shall further state that they are the rights holder or duly authorised to act on behalf of the rights holder.

Notices that are manifestly unfounded, abusive, incomplete, or insufficiently substantiated may be rejected.

6. ACTION TAKEN UPON NOTICE AND COMMUNICATION OF DECISIONS

Upon receipt of a sufficiently precise and adequately substantiated notice, the Company shall assess the information in a timely, diligent, and objective manner.

Where the Company obtains actual knowledge of illegal content or becomes aware of facts or circumstances from which illegality is apparent, it may remove, disable access to, restrict visibility of, or otherwise limit the availability of such content in accordance with applicable law.

Where action is taken in response to a notice, the Company shall inform the person who submitted the notice of its decision and, where required under applicable law, provide a statement of reasons. The Company shall also inform the affected Creator of the action taken, the legal or contractual basis for the decision, and any available complaint or appeal mechanisms.

The Company reserves the right to act without prior notice to the Creator where immediate action is necessary to mitigate legal, regulatory, security, or reputational risk.

All moderation and enforcement decisions are taken in accordance with applicable European Union law, including the Digital Services Act, and the Company's internal compliance procedures.

7. INTERNAL COMPLAINT-HANDLING AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), the Company maintains an internal complaint-handling system enabling Creators and Users to lodge complaints against decisions taken by the Company in relation to alleged illegal content or violations of the Platform's Terms, Community Guidelines, or applicable law.

A complaint may be submitted electronically through the contact details or reporting mechanisms made available on the Platform and must identify the decision being contested and provide a reasoned explanation of the grounds for challenge.

Complaints shall be processed in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary, and objective manner. Where a complaint is submitted within six (6) months of the relevant decision, the Company shall review the decision and notify the complainant of the outcome of the internal review, including a statement of reasons where required under applicable law.

The Company's internal complaint-handling system shall be free of charge.

Without prejudice to the right to seek judicial redress, users of the internal complaint-handling system shall have the right to select a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body, where available under applicable law, to resolve disputes relating to moderation decisions in accordance with Article 21 of the Digital Services Act.

Nothing in this clause limits the right of any party to bring proceedings before the competent courts of the Republic of Cyprus or any other competent jurisdiction as provided by law.

8. COUNTER-NOTICE AND DISPUTE PROCESS

A Creator whose content has been removed or disabled may submit a counter-notice where the Creator believes that the removal was erroneous or that the Creator has lawful rights to the content.

The counter-notice must include identification of the removed material, a reasoned explanation of lawful entitlement, and supporting evidence of ownership or authorisation.

The Company may review the counter-notice and determine whether restoration is appropriate. The Company reserves the right to decline restoration where legal risk remains unresolved or where judicial proceedings are initiated.

Submission of a counter-notice does not guarantee reinstatement.

9. REPEAT INFRINGER POLICY

The Company maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of Creators who are repeat infringers.

A repeat infringer may include a Creator who receives multiple substantiated infringement notices, demonstrates a pattern of unlawful uploads, or repeatedly fails to provide adequate proof of rights when requested.

The determination of repeat infringement shall be made at the Company's reasonable discretion, taking into account the seriousness, frequency, and circumstances of violations.

Termination under this policy may result in permanent removal of Digital Content and forfeiture of unpaid revenue share where permitted by law and contract.

10. TECHNOLOGICAL MEASURES AND CONTENT PROTECTION

The Company may implement technological protection measures, including but not limited to digital rights management systems, watermarking, content fingerprinting, automated detection tools, and manual moderation review mechanisms.

Creators and Users shall not attempt to circumvent, disable, reverse engineer, interfere with, or otherwise undermine such measures.

The use of automated systems does not replace human oversight, and moderation decisions may involve both automated and human assessment.

11. TRADEMARK AND BRAND PROTECTION

Trademark owners may submit complaints regarding alleged misuse of registered or unregistered trademarks.

The Company may remove content that creates a likelihood of confusion, falsely suggests endorsement, or misappropriates brand identity.

Parody, commentary, and lawful descriptive use shall be assessed in accordance with applicable law.

12. MISUSE OF THE COMPLAINT PROCESS

Submitting knowingly false, misleading, or bad faith infringement notices may expose the complainant to liability under applicable law.

The Company reserves the right to take appropriate action against parties who abuse the notice process, including restriction of complaint privileges or referral to authorities.

13. LIMITATION OF PLATFORM LIABILITY

The Company acts as an intermediary hosting service provider in respect of Creator-uploaded content. The Company does not assume liability for unlawful content prior to obtaining actual knowledge or awareness of illegality.

Nothing in this Policy shall be construed as imposing a general monitoring obligation on the Company.

This Policy does not limit any rights or remedies available under applicable law.

14. COOPERATION WITH AUTHORITIES

Where required by law, the Company may cooperate with judicial, regulatory, or law enforcement authorities in relation to intellectual property violations.

This may include disclosure of account information in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

15. TRANSPARENCY REPORTING (ARTICLE 15 DIGITAL SERVICES ACT)

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), the Company shall publish, at least once annually, clear and easily accessible reports on its content moderation activities carried out during the relevant reporting period.

Such transparency reports shall include, to the extent applicable to the Company's status under the Digital Services Act, information regarding the number and categories of notices received concerning alleged illegal content, the number of decisions taken to remove or disable access to content, the number of complaints received through the internal complaint-handling system, the use of automated means in content moderation, and the average time required to take action upon receipt of notices.

The report shall also include information regarding orders received from judicial or administrative authorities of Member States, including the number of such orders and the actions taken in response thereto, to the extent disclosure is permitted by law.

Where automated tools are used for the purposes of detecting, identifying, or moderating content, the Company shall provide a general description of such tools and the role of human review in decision-making processes.

The transparency report shall be published in a clear, comprehensible, and publicly accessible format on the Platform or the Company's website.

Nothing in this clause shall require the Company to disclose confidential information, trade secrets, personal data, or information that would compromise the effectiveness of content moderation, law enforcement investigations, or security measures.

The Company reserves the right to adjust the format and frequency of transparency reporting where required by amendments to applicable law or changes to the Company's regulatory classification under the Digital Services Act.

16. POLICY AMENDMENTS

The Company may amend this Policy from time to time to reflect legal, regulatory, or operational developments.

Continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
