1. Commitment to Copyright Protection

Salary After Tax ("we", "our", or "the Service") maintains an unwavering commitment to respecting the intellectual property rights of content creators, authors, publishers, and developers. It is our policy to respond promptly to formal notifications of alleged copyright infringement in complete conformance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512).

Our financial calculators, statutory tax formulas, research articles, and interactive tools are created independently or derived directly from public domain statutory legislation issued by national taxation authorities (such as the US Internal Revenue Service, HM Revenue & Customs, and Canada Revenue Agency). Where third-party copyrighted materials are referenced, they are used strictly under fair use or licensing doctrines.

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent thereof and believe that any content, software script, or material hosted on Salary After Tax infringes upon your copyright, you may submit a formal notification pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). To be legally effective, your notice must be in writing and include all of the following statutory elements:

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

B. Identification of Copyrighted Work

Specific identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are involved.

D. Contact Information of Complainant

Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you: full legal name, physical mailing address, telephone number, and email.

E. Good-Faith Belief Statement

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.

4. Counter-Notification Procedures

If material that you posted or contributed has been removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notification, and you believe this was done through mistake or misidentification, you may send our Designated Agent a written Counter-Notification pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2) and (3).

A valid counter-notification must contain:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled and the location where it previously appeared.
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.
Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
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 outside the US, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will promptly provide the complaining party with a copy and inform them that we will replace or re-enable access within 10 to 14 business days unless they notify us of a filed federal court action.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with Section 512(i)(1)(A) of the DMCA, Salary After Tax reserves the right to terminate access, accounts, or editorial privileges of any user, contributor, or API subscriber who repeatedly or systematically infringes third-party copyrights.

Warning Regarding False Representation (17 U.S.C. § 512(f))

Please be advised that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to substantial liability for damages (including court costs and attorney's fees) incurred by the alleged infringer, copyright owner, or service provider.
