DMCA Copyright Policy

1. Designated agent

Notices of claimed infringement must be sent to our designated agent, whose details are on file with the U.S. Copyright Office:

• DMCA AGENT — FULL NAME
• DMCA AGENT BUSINESS ADDRESS
• DMCA AGENT EMAIL

Sending an infringement notice to any other address may delay our response. Do not send unrelated correspondence to the agent.

2. Filing a notice

To be effective under § 512(c)(3), a notification must be a written communication that includes substantially the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act for the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered by a single notice.
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it — for content on this Service, the URL of the post or the creator’s handle and the item.
• Information reasonably sufficient to let us contact you: an address, telephone number and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner.

Under § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages. Do not use this process to remove content you simply dislike.

3. What we do with a valid notice

On receiving a notice that substantially complies with the statute, we remove or disable access to the identified material expeditiously and take reasonable steps to notify the creator who posted it. We forward the notice, including your contact details, to that creator, because they may file a counter-notification.

4. Counter-notification

If your content was removed and you believe it was removed in error or misidentification, you may send our agent a counter-notification under § 512(g) that includes your signature, identification of the removed material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake, and your name, address and telephone number together with your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, DEFAULT JURISDICTION) and to accept service from the complainant.

If we receive a valid counter-notification we forward it to the original complainant. We may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant tells us they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the conduct.

5. Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, the accounts of creators who are repeat infringers, as § 512(i) requires. A creator whose content is the subject of repeated valid notices loses the ability to publish and may have their account closed.
