How we file on your behalf
When you identify infringing URLs, we prepare and send compliant notices to the relevant host, CDN, registrar or search engine, and track their responses in your dashboard.
Elements of a valid notice
A §512(c) notice includes:
- A physical or electronic signature of the owner or authorized agent.
- Identification of the copyrighted work.
- Identification of the infringing material, with specific URLs.
- Contact information for the complaining party.
- Good-faith and accuracy statements made under penalty of perjury.

Counter-notices
If a host forwards a counter-notice, we will notify you. Disputed claims may require the parties to resolve the matter directly or through legal channels.
Repeat infringers
We may suspend or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly misuse the service or submit notices in bad faith.
Accuracy and good faith
Notices must be accurate and made in good faith. Submitting knowingly false notices can carry legal consequences under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f); you are responsible for the accuracy of what you submit.
