DMCA Policy

Last updated: May 24, 2026 · Operated by WeCe LLC

WeedCentral ("we", "our", "the app") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users and content sources to do the same. This policy describes how copyright owners can submit a notice of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512 ("DMCA"), and how affected users can submit a counter-notification.

1. Designated DMCA agent

Send notices of claimed infringement to our designated agent. We will not act on takedown requests sent to any other channel.

2. How the Learn tab works

The Learn tab surfaces a curated set of third-party cannabis news and educational articles. For each article, WeedCentral stores only the following on its own infrastructure:

• The article's title.
• A short excerpt (capped at 280 characters) taken from the publisher's own RSS feed or open metadata.
• The author byline as provided by the publisher.
• A hot-linked reference to the publisher's cover image, when one is provided in the feed.
• A canonical link back to the original article on the publisher's site.

Reading the full article requires tapping the canonical link, which opens the publisher's own site in the device's browser. WeedCentral does not republish article bodies, mirror images locally, or otherwise reproduce more than is necessary to identify the article and link to it. This excerpt-plus-link posture is intended to qualify as fair use under 17 U.S.C. §107 and to comply with §512(d) for any information-location tool concerns.

3. Attribution and non-affiliation

WeedCentral is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the publishers whose articles appear in the Learn tab. Publisher names, logos, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners and are used only for the purpose of identifying the source of each excerpt.

4. Submit a takedown notice

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized agent) and believe content reachable through the Learn tab infringes your copyright, send a written notice to the address in §1 that includes all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, for multiple works at a single site, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it — in practice, the full WeedCentral article URL plus the upstream publisher URL.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to contact you: your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Incomplete notices may delay or invalidate our response. We act on conforming notices promptly, typically within five business days of receipt.

5. Counter-notification

If material you submitted (or that links to your content) has been removed in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to the address in §1 under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3). Your counter-notification must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed 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 outside the United States, the Southern District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or that person's agent.

6. Repeat-infringer policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. §512(i), WeedCentral terminates the accounts of users or content sources determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. We evaluate repeat-infringer status case by case, considering the volume and severity of valid notices received and the responsiveness of the source to those notices.

7. Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages. Please do not make false claims.
