DMCA Policy for Filbert

Filbert is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we will respond promptly to notices of alleged copyright infringement that are properly provided to us.

This policy outlines the information required to submit a DMCA notification to Filbert and how we will handle such notifications, as well as the process for submitting a counter-notification if your content has been removed due to a copyright claim.

Filing a Copyright Infringement Notice (DMCA Takedown Notice)

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied and is accessible on Filbert in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may submit a written DMCA Takedown Notice to our designated Copyright Agent. For your notice to be valid, it must substantially comply with the following requirements:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Filbert to locate the material (e.g., specific URLs).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Filbert to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you have the right to submit a Counter-Notification. For your Counter-Notification to be valid, it must substantially comply with the following requirements:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (e.g., specific URLs).
  • 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Filbert may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
