Copyright, DMCA & Content Removal Policy

MuayThaiRank.com ("MuayThaiRank", "we", "our", or "the Website") is an independent platform dedicated to preserving public Muay Thai records, historical sporting information, rankings, athlete profiles, event data, and user-submitted content. Because our Website aggregates information from multiple public and third-party sources, we recognize that questions relating to copyright, intellectual property, privacy, inaccurate information, and content ownership may occasionally arise.

This Copyright, DMCA & Content Removal Policy explains how MuayThaiRank handles copyright notices, Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") requests, privacy concerns, factual corrections, impersonation reports, and other content-related requests. By accessing or using this Website, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Policy.

1. Neutral Platform and Limitation of Responsibility

MuayThaiRank operates as a neutral informational platform whose purpose is to document and preserve publicly available information relating to the sport of Muay Thai. The Website publishes sporting records, event information, rankings, statistics, athlete profiles, historical archives, editorial content, and, where applicable, content submitted by users or obtained from publicly available sources.

Because of the nature of the Website, MuayThaiRank does not independently verify the ownership, legality, completeness, or accuracy of every piece of information or media published on the platform. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the Website does not guarantee that any particular content is free from factual errors or third-party rights.

MuayThaiRank is not responsible for user-submitted content, third-party materials, or information originating from external sources. The Website assumes no obligation to investigate disputes between private parties, determine ownership of intellectual property, verify competing legal claims, or act as an arbitrator regarding copyright, trademark, privacy, or contractual disputes.

2. Scope of this Policy

This Policy applies to requests involving copyright infringement, DMCA notices, trademark concerns, privacy requests, GDPR-related personal data requests, unauthorized use of photographs or likenesses, impersonation, misidentification, incorrect fighter profiles, event corrections, harmful content, and similar legal or editorial matters.

This Policy does not generally apply to factual sporting information, including historical fight records, event results, championship history, rankings, athlete participation, or other information that forms part of the public historical record of the sport. While factual mistakes may be corrected when supported by reliable evidence, MuayThaiRank will not remove accurate public sporting records solely because an individual disagrees with their publication.

3. Submitting a Copyright or DMCA Notice

If you believe that material appearing on MuayThaiRank infringes your copyright, you may submit a written copyright notice by emailing info@muaythairank.com.

To enable us to review your request efficiently, your notice should include your full legal name, your contact information, a description of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed, the exact URL or URLs where the allegedly infringing material appears, and any information reasonably sufficient to identify your ownership or authorization to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Your notice should also include the following statement:

I acknowledge that MuayThaiRank does not independently verify copyright ownership or legal claims. I submit this notice under my own responsibility and affirm that the information provided is accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that I may be legally responsible for false, misleading, or fraudulent claims.

Incomplete notices, anonymous requests, or submissions lacking sufficient information may be delayed, rejected, or disregarded at our sole discretion.

4. Review of Copyright Claims

MuayThaiRank receives copyright complaints solely as allegations made by third parties. Submission of a notice does not establish that infringement has occurred, nor does it create any obligation for the Website to accept the claim as valid.

The Website does not independently investigate ownership rights, authenticate licenses, determine legal entitlement, or adjudicate disputes between competing claimants. Unless required by applicable law, MuayThaiRank is under no obligation to verify the truthfulness of any statement contained in a copyright notice beyond the information voluntarily provided by the reporting party.

All individuals submitting claims remain solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and good-faith basis of their requests.

5. No Guarantee of Content Removal

Submitting a copyright, privacy, or content removal request does not guarantee that the reported material will be removed from the Website.

After reviewing the information available, MuayThaiRank may choose to remove the content, restrict access to it, request additional information, retain the content without modification, restore previously removed material, or decline to take any action. These decisions are made at the sole editorial and administrative discretion of the Website.

MuayThaiRank is not obligated to explain, justify, or negotiate any decision regarding the publication or removal of content.

6. Counter-Notices

Individuals who originally submitted content or who believe that material was removed incorrectly may submit a counter-notification explaining why the content should remain available.

MuayThaiRank may, but is not required to, consider information submitted by both parties before determining whether any action is appropriate. The Website does not function as a court of law and does not resolve legal disputes concerning copyright ownership or licensing rights. Any disagreement regarding ownership remains exclusively between the interested parties.

7. Posters, Logos and Promotional Materials

The Website may display promotional posters, event graphics, logos, photographs, banners, or other media that have been publicly released by event organizers, promoters, athletes, organizations, sponsors, media outlets, or other third parties in connection with public sporting events.

The inclusion of such materials on MuayThaiRank is intended solely for informational, archival, editorial, and historical purposes relating to the documentation of Muay Thai events and athletes. Where appropriate, MuayThaiRank may remove, replace, or retain promotional materials at its sole discretion following review of any request received.

8. Privacy, GDPR and Personal Information Requests

Individuals wishing to request the removal or correction of personal information may contact info@muaythairank.com.

Where appropriate and legally required, MuayThaiRank may remove private personal information, confidential contact details, non-public images, or other information whose publication is inconsistent with applicable privacy laws. However, the Website generally will not remove information that forms part of the public sporting record, including fight results, event participation, championship history, rankings, publicly available athlete biographies, or other factual information relating to professional sporting activities.

Requests made under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or similar privacy legislation will be reviewed in accordance with applicable law while balancing the legitimate public interest in maintaining historical sporting records.

9. Requests to Correct Fighter or Event Information

MuayThaiRank strives to maintain accurate records of athletes, events, rankings, and historical results. If you believe that factual information published on the Website is incorrect, you may submit a correction request supported by reliable documentation or other verifiable evidence.

Each request will be reviewed individually. Acceptance, modification, or rejection of any proposed correction remains entirely at the editorial discretion of MuayThaiRank. Submission of supporting evidence does not guarantee that the requested changes will be implemented.

10. User-Submitted Content

Users who submit content to MuayThaiRank represent that they possess all necessary rights, permissions, and authority to submit such material.

Users remain solely responsible for the legality, originality, accuracy, and ownership of any information, photographs, documents, or other content they provide. MuayThaiRank does not routinely verify user submissions and accepts no responsibility for copyright infringement, factual inaccuracies, privacy violations, or any other legal issues arising from content provided by third parties.

11. Impersonation, Fraudulent Reports and Abuse

MuayThaiRank does not tolerate the misuse of this Policy through fraudulent copyright notices, false impersonation claims, malicious reporting, or attempts to suppress legitimate public information.

Any person submitting intentionally false, misleading, or abusive reports may have their requests rejected and, where applicable, may be restricted from using certain Website services. Nothing in this Policy obligates MuayThaiRank to investigate, respond to, or act upon any report submitted under false or misleading circumstances.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MuayThaiRank, its owners, operators, contributors, affiliates, and service providers shall not be liable for any damages, losses, claims, expenses, or liabilities arising directly or indirectly from the publication, removal, retention, restoration, or modification of content available on the Website.

This limitation includes, without limitation, claims arising from alleged copyright infringement, privacy disputes, delayed responses, rejected requests, inaccurate information, mistaken removals, fraudulent notices, third-party submissions, or any editorial decision made by MuayThaiRank in good faith.

Nothing contained in this Policy shall be interpreted as creating any contractual obligation requiring MuayThaiRank to remove, modify, investigate, or otherwise act upon any particular request.

13. Acceptance of this Policy

By accessing or using MuayThaiRank.com, you acknowledge that copyright notices, privacy requests, correction requests, and all other reports submitted under this Policy constitute allegations made by private parties and do not automatically establish legal entitlement or factual accuracy.

You further acknowledge that MuayThaiRank retains sole editorial discretion regarding the review and handling of such requests, that content removal is not guaranteed, and that the Website may decline or disregard requests where appropriate. By continuing to use the Website, you agree to release MuayThaiRank, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from liability arising out of decisions relating to the publication, retention, modification, or removal of content under this Policy.
