Repeat Infringer Policy
Gecker will terminate user access to the Service if, under appropriate circumstances, a user is determined to be a repeat infringer. We reserve the right to decide whether content violates our policies for reasons other than copyright infringement, such as pornography, obscenity, or excessive length.
⚠️ Important Legal Notice
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability. Do not make false claims.
