Section 1What this page is for

We respect copyright and we respond to valid notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If material stored in one of our services infringes your copyright, this page tells you how to have it removed.

This is about material a customer has stored in our software. If you believe our own website or applications infringe your rights, use the contact form and describe the problem. That is a different conversation and it does not need this process.

Section 2Sending us a takedown notice

Send it through the contact form with "DMCA notice" as the first line of the message. For us to act on it, the law requires the notice to include all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or someone authorised to act for them.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed. If several works are covered by one notice, a representative list of them.
  3. Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it. A direct link is best.
  4. Your contact details: name, address, telephone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.

A notice missing any of these is not a valid DMCA notice, and we may not be able to act on it. If yours is incomplete we will tell you what is missing rather than ignore it.

Before you send it

Consider whether the use might be fair use, licensed, or covered by another exception. Courts have held that a copyright owner must consider fair use before sending a notice. A notice sent without that consideration can expose you to liability.

Section 3What we do when we get one

  1. We acknowledge receipt within one business day.
  2. We check the notice is complete.
  3. If it is, we remove or disable access to the material expeditiously.
  4. We tell the customer who posted it what we removed and why, and we send them a copy of the notice, which will include your name and the details in it.
  5. We tell them they can file a counter notice.

We do not judge who owns a copyright. That is not our role and we are not equipped to do it. We follow the process the law sets out, and it puts the dispute back between the two parties who actually have it.

Section 4Sending a counter notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake, or that you have the right to use it, you can send a counter notice through the contact form with "DMCA counter notice" as the first line. It must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address and telephone number.
  5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district where you live, or, if you are outside the United States, the district where we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

We forward a valid counter notice to the person who complained. If they do not tell us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed a court action to restrain the use, we may restore the material.

Section 5Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. What counts as a repeat infringer depends on the pattern rather than a fixed number: notices that were never disputed, notices upheld in court, and whether the account exists mainly to distribute infringing material.

Section 6Do not misuse this process

Under section 512(f) of the DMCA, anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees.

We see this process used to silence criticism or to attack a competitor. We look at whether a notice is being used for its actual purpose, and we will refuse a notice that is plainly abusive.

Section 7Designated agent

Notices should be sent through the contact form, which reaches our designated agent directly and is the fastest route.

  • Agent: Copyright Agent, Native Code LLC
  • Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
  • Submission route: the contact form, marked "DMCA notice"

A notice sent through the form reaches the agent directly and is the fastest route to having something taken down.
