Copyright and DMCA Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-08

This Copyright and DMCA Policy governs claims of copyright infringement relating to the website at candella.dev and the products and services made available through it (collectively, the "Service"), operated by Lutz Consulting Group, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company doing business as Candella Labs ("Candella", "we", "us"). This Policy is part of the Candella Terms of Service at candella.dev/terms (the "Master Terms") and applies alongside the Candella Copytrade Addendum at candella.dev/terms/copytrade. Capitalized terms used but not defined here have the meanings given in the Master Terms and the Copytrade Addendum.

Candella respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Service to do the same. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 512 (the "DMCA").

1. Scope

This Policy covers material stored or transmitted on the Service at the direction of a user, including content a Lead Trader or Follower submits to their profile, and any other user-submitted content. It does not cover a user's own brokerage data, orders, or trading activity, which are handled under the Master Terms and the Copytrade Addendum. Candella does not custody user funds, exercise investment discretion, or effect trades; those functions belong to the connected brokerage acting through SnapTrade (operated by Passiv Technologies Inc.). Nothing in this Policy changes that posture.

2. Notice of Alleged Infringement

If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent identified in Section 3. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3), your notice must include substantially the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that is 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 of those works.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, with information reasonably sufficient to let us locate the material, such as the URL or page on the Service where it appears.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to let us contact you, such as your name, mailing 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 copyright that is allegedly infringed.

If your notice does not substantially comply with these requirements, it may not be effective and we may not be able to act on it.

Note: under 17 U.S.C. 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

3. Designated Agent

Send notices of alleged copyright infringement to our designated agent:

Copyright Agent, Lutz Consulting Group, LLC, d/b/a Candella Labs
10120 W Flamingo Rd, Ste 4-2055
Las Vegas, NV 89147-8394
United States
Email: support@candella.dev

Please use the subject line "DMCA Notice" so we can route your notice promptly. This contact is for copyright matters under this Policy only. General support, billing, and account requests should use the channels described in the Master Terms.

4. Our Response

On receipt of an effective notice, we will remove or disable access to the material that is the subject of the notice within a reasonable time. We may notify the user who submitted the material that we have done so, and we may provide that user with a copy of the notice, including your contact information.

5. Counter-Notification

If you are a user whose material has been removed or disabled and you believe the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notification to our designated agent in Section 3. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3), your counter-notification must include substantially the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
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, for any judicial district in which Candella may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or that person's agent.

On receipt of an effective counter-notification, we may forward it to the person who filed the original notice. If that person does not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the removed material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification, at our discretion.

As with a notice, a person who knowingly materially misrepresents under 17 U.S.C. 512(f) that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be liable for damages.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

Candella will, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We may also remove material, suspend a Lead Trader or Follower profile, or take other action against any account associated with repeated or egregious infringement, consistent with the termination provisions of the Master Terms. We may take these actions with or without prior notice.

7. Candella's Intellectual Property

This Policy addresses claims about user-submitted material. It does not grant any license to the Service itself. The Service, including its software, content, designs, trademarks, and documentation, is owned by Candella or its licensors and is protected as described in the Master Terms. Reports that a third party is infringing Candella's own intellectual property may be sent to the same contact in Section 3.

8. Changes and Assignment

We may update this Policy from time to time. The notice procedures in the Master Terms apply. The Service is currently operated by Lutz Consulting Group, LLC and is expected to be assigned to a successor entity, currently anticipated to be Candella Inc, upon that entity's formation, as described in the Master Terms. On assignment, this Policy will apply to the successor entity with the same scope, and we will update the designated agent information at that time.

9. Contact

For questions about this Policy, or to submit a notice or counter-notification, use the designated agent contact in Section 3.
