This DMCA Copyright Policy (“Policy”) describes how [ LEGAL BUSINESS NAME ] (“we,” “us,” “our”) responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement related to content on our website (the “Site”), in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), where applicable.
1) Copyright Infringement Claims
If you believe that content on our Site infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notice of claimed infringement (“DMCA Notice”) to us.
Your DMCA Notice must include all of the following information:

- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate the material on the Site (for example, a specific URL);
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
2) Counter-Notification
If you believe that material you posted on the Site was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification (“Counter-Notice”).
Your Counter-Notice must include the following information:
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
- 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;
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or, if outside the United States, the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which we may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA Notice or their agent.
3) Repeat Infringers
In appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, we may disable or terminate access for users who are repeat copyright infringers.
4) Misrepresentations
Under the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing or was removed or disabled by mistake may be subject to liability. Please ensure that all information provided in a DMCA Notice or Counter-Notice is accurate.
