This address is for copyright notices only. Anything else sent here will not get a reply — use our contact page instead.
Reporting infringement
Send our agent a written notice that includes all of the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature, as the copyright owner or someone authorised to act for them.
- The copyrighted work you say has been infringed.
- The material you say infringes it, and enough information for us to find it on Uplabs.
- Your name, address, phone number and email address.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or are authorised to act for the owner.
We remove or disable access to the material promptly and tell the person who posted it. Knowingly misrepresenting that material infringes can make you liable for damages.
Responding to a notice
If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, send our agent a counter-notice that includes:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- The material that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the US federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the US, any judicial district in which Defineweb Inc. may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.
We forward the counter-notice to the person who complained. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we restore the material within 10 to 14 business days.
Repeat infringers
We close, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of people who are the subject of repeated valid notices. A notice that is withdrawn, or successfully countered, does not count toward that.
