Intellectual Property Notice & Counter-Notice Forms

Repeat Infringers

Scenic enforces a three-strike policy: users who repeatedly infringe IP rights will face account restrictions, suspension, or termination. Severe or intentional infringements may result in immediate removal without prior strikes. Find out more in our Repeat Infringer Policy below.

Repeat Infringer Policy

Scenic respects the intellectual property rights of creators, users, and rights holders, and expects the same from all users of our Services. In accordance with applicable intellectual property laws and best practices, Scenic has adopted the following Repeat Infringer Policy.

Definition of Repeat Infringer
A Repeat Infringer is any user who, after receiving proper notice, has had their content removed or access disabled multiple times due to valid intellectual property complaints, or who otherwise demonstrates a pattern of infringing activity on Scenic.

While Scenic reserves the right to determine what constitutes “repeat” infringement in our sole discretion, this may include (but is not limited to):
- Two (2) or more valid copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property complaints consecutively or cumulatively within one year;
- Repeated re-uploading of content previously removed for infringement;
- Attempts to circumvent Scenic’s content removal systems.

Consequences for Repeat Infringers
Scenic may take one or more of the following actions against Repeat Infringers:
- Removal of infringing content;Limiting visibility of future content;
- Suspension of account features, including the ability to upload or share routes, photos, videos, or Echos;
- Temporary or permanent account termination;
- Restriction from re-registering for Scenic under the same or different identity.

Escalation Process
Before any permanent action is taken, Scenic will generally:
1. Issue Warnings: Users may receive written warnings after confirmed valid IP complaints.
2. Notify Users: Each time content is removed for infringement, users will receive a notification describing the complaint and providing information about filing a Counter-Notice if they believe it was removed in error.
3. Review Pattern: Scenic will track notices received against a user’s account to determine if they meet the criteria for repeat infringement.

Exceptions and Considerations
Scenic may, at its discretion, take into account mitigating factors such as:
- Whether the user promptly removed or corrected the infringing content;
- Whether a Counter-Notice was filed and the result of that process;
- Whether the infringement was minor, incidental, or unintentional.

Reservation of Rights
Scenic reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate any account for a single case of serious infringement (e.g., large-scale piracy, intentional misappropriation, or repeated violations across multiple accounts).

Scenic's Role and Limitations

- Scenic does not mediate IP disputes between users but will enforce this Policy based on valid notices and applicable law.
- Scenic is committed to acting in accordance with safe harbour principles under laws such as the DMCA (where applicable) and international equivalents.

Updates to This Policy

Scenic may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in laws, technology, or industry standards. Users will be notified of significant changes via in-app notifications or email, along with updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of the new Intellectual Privacy Policy.
