COPYRIGHT AND DMCA POLICY

IndexTEN — a product of That Music Teacher, LLC, d/b/a Tarbet Education Network Website: indexten.app Effective Date: July 27, 2026

That Music Teacher, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company doing business as Tarbet Education Network ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA").

This page publishes the contact information for our designated agent and describes our procedures for responding to notices of claimed copyright infringement. It corresponds to Section 6 of our Terms and Conditions, which governs.

About the Service. IndexTEN is a repertoire organization tool for music educators. Users create their own libraries by entering, uploading, or importing their own materials. We do not review, monitor, pre-screen, verify, or endorse content submitted by users, and we do not supply a catalog of songs, arrangements, or notations. Content in a user's library is submitted by that user.

Our policy. It is our policy to respond promptly to valid notices of claimed infringement, to expeditiously remove or disable access to material identified in a compliant notice, and to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

1. Designated Agent

Notices of claimed copyright infringement must be directed to our designated agent:

DMCA Designated Agent Bryson Tarbet That Music Teacher, LLC, d/b/a Tarbet Education Network 5232 Norwich Street, Suite E Hilliard, Ohio 43026 United States Phone: +1 (614) 504-3994 Email: hello@thatmusicteacher.com

Our designated agent is registered with the United States Copyright Office in its DMCA Designated Agent Directory.

Please include "DMCA Notice" or "DMCA Counter-Notification" in the subject line so that your submission is routed correctly and without delay.

Correspondence sent to this address that does not concern claimed copyright infringement will be handled through our ordinary support channels.

2. Notice of Claimed Infringement

If you believe that material on IndexTEN infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act on behalf of, send a written notice to our designated agent containing substantially the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right 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 such works;

3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate that material within the Service;

4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, including your 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; and

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 exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Incomplete notices. A notice that does not substantially comply with the requirements above may not be sufficient to provide us with actual knowledge of infringing activity, and we may be unable to act on it. If we receive an incomplete notice, we will make reasonable efforts to contact you at the address provided so that it can be corrected.

Misrepresentation. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

Consider fair use and other authorizations first. Before submitting a notice, please consider whether the use may be authorized by license, by the public domain status of the underlying work, or by fair use or another exception under copyright law. Many traditional folk songs are in the public domain, though specific arrangements, transcriptions, editions, and notations of those songs may be separately protected.

3. Our Response

Upon receipt of a compliant notice, we will:

• Expeditiously remove or disable access to the material identified;

• Take reasonable steps to notify the user who submitted the material that it has been removed or disabled, and provide that user with a copy of the notice, which will include the contact information you supplied;

• Record the notice, the material affected, and the action taken; and

• Issue a strike against the submitting user's account under our repeat infringer policy in Section 5.

Please note that we will forward your notice, including your contact information, to the affected user. This is a normal part of the DMCA process and is necessary so that the user may respond. If you have concerns about providing personal contact information, you may wish to designate an agent or use a business address.

4. Counter-Notification

If you are an IndexTEN user and your material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to our designated agent.

Before you do, understand what a counter-notification means. It is a sworn statement made under penalty of perjury. It also requires you to consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court and to accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice. Submitting a counter-notification may result in legal proceedings against you. If you are uncertain whether you hold the necessary rights, consider seeking legal advice before filing one.

A counter-notification must contain substantially the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

1. Your physical or electronic signature;

2. Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled, and the location at which it appeared before removal or disablement;

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

5. 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 we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or an agent of that person.

What happens next. Upon receipt of a compliant counter-notification, we will promptly forward a copy to the original complaining party. Unless that party notifies us within ten (10) business days that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the removed material in not less than ten (10) nor more than fourteen (14) business days following our receipt of the counter-notification.

If material is restored following a counter-notification that is not challenged, any strike associated with the original notice is withdrawn.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

For purposes of this policy, a user receives a strike each time content submitted by that user is removed or disabled in response to a compliant DMCA notice that is not successfully countered.

A user who accumulates three (3) strikes will have their account terminated.

We may terminate an account with fewer than three strikes where the circumstances warrant, including where a single instance involves large-scale or willful infringement. Termination is governed by Section 11 of our Terms and Conditions.

We maintain records of notices received, material removed or disabled, strikes issued, counter-notifications received, and accounts terminated under this policy.

6. Rights Holders Outside the United States

If you are a rights holder located outside the United States, you may use the procedure described above to notify us of claimed infringement. We will respond in accordance with this policy and applicable law.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this page from time to time. Where a change affects our designated agent information, we will update our registration with the United States Copyright Office accordingly.
