Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe content hosted on our services infringes your copyright, please send a written notice that includes all items below. Incomplete notices may be delayed or rejected.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list.
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate the material (for example, the full URL and screenshots).
- Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- Both statements (required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)):
- “I have a good‑faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”
- “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notice is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.”
Counter‑Notification
If you believe your material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter‑notice containing:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled (full URL).
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good‑faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- 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 King County, Washington, if outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or their agent.
Upon receipt of a valid counter‑notice, we may reinstate the material in 10–14 business days unless we receive notice that the original complainant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity.
Repeat Infringer Policy
Consistent with the DMCA and industry practice, we may disable or terminate accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers. We also reserve the right to remove or disable access to content alleged to infringe at our discretion.
Accommodation of Standard Technical Measures
We accommodate and do not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted works, as described in 17 U.S.C. §512(i).
Abuse of the DMCA
Knowingly submitting false claims may subject you to liability for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees). Consider whether fair use, license, or other defenses apply before filing.
