Filing a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement

To file a DMCA notice of alleged infringement, please provide our Copyright Agent with the following information:

  1. 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. Please be specific enough to allow us to locate the material (e.g., "The recipe for 'Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Delight' posted on [URL] is an infringement of my copyrighted work 'Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Recipe'").
  2. 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 disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material. Providing the URL(s) to the specific page(s) where the infringing content resides is the most effective way to help us locate it quickly.
  3. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

Once received, we will take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from the Site and/or termination of the user's account.
