Copyright / Intellectual Property rights / DMCA & Complaints procedures

At TuneSick we take intellectual property rights and copyright infringement very seriously, and will swiftly act to remove anything that violates such laws.

1. If you notice a track or song that is being used without yours or the rightful owners permission the first step to take is to contact the user who has uploaded the track. He or she may have some right either directly or indirectly.

2. If this is unsuccessful, you can simply visit the track in question, at the top of the track you will see a small 3 dotted line, simply click on this and then select ˜Report Copyright™. The necessary steps will then be taken to inspect the material and remove the track if it there without permission.

3. You can also contact us directly so we can investigate any report thoroughly. You can contact us directly and make a submission at: admin@tunesick.app

Please note: The music industry contains so many distributors and channels. Sometimes it can be that a user has permission either directly or indirectly, through another supplier or contact of some sort. It is sometimes the case that somewhere in the process of things, the user has sought permission either through an agent or some other intermediary. So it is always worthwhile to contact the original user first to check.

We will also ask for proof of ownership of the original track in the form of relevant documents. We will then take down any track that is proven to be in violation of DMCA / Copyright laws. Thank you.
