6. Supporting Information
Although not a substitute for the required elements of a valid notice, supporting information may help us evaluate and locate the reported material.
Supporting information may include:
- Copyright registration information, where available.
- A URL showing the original work.
- Documentation showing ownership.
- Documentation showing authorization to represent the copyright owner.
- Screenshots identifying the reported content.
- Additional information distinguishing the original work from the reported material.
Do not submit unnecessary sensitive personal information.
7. Authorized Representatives
A copyright owner may authorize another person or organization to submit a notice on their behalf.
If you act as an authorized representative, your notice should clearly identify:
- The copyright owner.
- Your identity.
- The copyright involved.
- Your authority to act for the copyright owner.
We may request additional information where reasonably necessary to verify the authority asserted in a claim.
8. Review of Copyright Notices
After receiving a copyright notice, we may:
- Review the notice for completeness.
- Locate the reported material.
- Evaluate whether the notice contains the information required under applicable law.
- Request additional information when reasonably necessary.
- Remove or disable access to material where appropriate.
- Notify an affected content provider where applicable.
- Preserve relevant records where reasonably necessary.
- Take other appropriate action consistent with applicable law.
Submitting a complaint does not guarantee automatic removal. The action taken depends on the notice, the material involved, applicable law, and the circumstances.
9. Incomplete Notices
A notice that does not contain sufficient information may prevent us from identifying the material or evaluating the claim.
For efficient review, please provide:
- Clear identification of the copyrighted work.
- Exact or sufficiently precise website location.
- Complete claimant contact information.
- Required statutory statements.
- A physical or electronic signature.
We may request additional information if a notice is materially incomplete.
10. Removal or Disablement of Material
When appropriate after receiving a valid copyright infringement notice, we may remove or disable access to the reported material.
Depending on the circumstances, we may also notify the person or party associated with the affected material.
Removal of material in response to a notice does not necessarily constitute a final legal determination that infringement occurred.
11. Counter-Notification
If material associated with you has been removed or disabled because of a copyright complaint and you believe the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may be entitled to submit a counter-notification under applicable law.
Counter-notifications should be submitted to:
Recommended Subject: DMCA Counter-Notification
12. Required Counter-Notification Information
Where the statutory counter-notification procedure applies, a counter-notification should contain the information required by applicable law, including:
1. Your Signature
Provide your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of Removed Material
Identify the material that was removed or to which access was disabled.
3. Previous Location
Identify the location where the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled.
4. Statement Under Penalty of Perjury
State, 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.
5. Contact Information
Provide your:
- Full legal name
- Mailing address
- Telephone number
- Email address
6. Consent to Jurisdiction
Include the consent-to-jurisdiction and acceptance-of-service statements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) for your circumstances.
Because the precise statutory language and appropriate federal judicial district can depend on where the person submitting the counter-notification is located, the counter-notification must satisfy the requirements of applicable law.
13. Counter-Notification Review
When we receive a valid counter-notification, we may provide a copy to the party that submitted the original copyright complaint where required or permitted by law.
Where the applicable statutory process applies, removed material may become eligible for restoration according to the timing and conditions established by applicable law unless the original complaining party informs the appropriate service provider that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
We will follow applicable legal requirements rather than guarantee restoration in every case.
14. False or Misleading Copyright Claims
Copyright notices and counter-notifications are legal communications.
Do not knowingly submit materially false statements concerning:
- Copyright ownership.
- Authorization to act for a copyright owner.
- Alleged infringement.
- Authorization of the disputed use.
- Removal by mistake or misidentification.
- Other material facts relating to the claim.
Under applicable law, a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for certain damages and costs.
15. Good-Faith Submissions
Before submitting a copyright complaint, claimants should consider whether the disputed use may be authorized by:
- The copyright owner.
- A license.
- Applicable law.
- Fair use.
- Another relevant copyright limitation or exception.
A disagreement with content does not by itself establish copyright infringement.
16. Repeat Infringement
Where applicable and appropriate under the circumstances, Thezakman may take reasonable action regarding parties associated with repeated copyright infringement.
Actions may depend on:
- The nature of the infringement.
- Valid notices received.
- Applicable contractual relationships.
- Available evidence.
- Applicable law.
Nothing in this provision requires a determination of infringement without appropriate supporting information.
17. Restoration of Content
Removal of material after receiving a copyright complaint does not necessarily mean the material will remain permanently unavailable.
Where the applicable statutory counter-notification procedure is properly invoked, material may be restored when legally appropriate and when the applicable requirements have been satisfied.
18. Trademark and Other Intellectual Property Complaints
The DMCA primarily addresses copyright matters.
Complaints involving:
- Trademarks
- Service marks
- Designs
- Branding
- Other non-copyright intellectual property rights
should generally be submitted according to our Intellectual Property Rights & Claims Policy.
Such complaints may also be sent to support@thezakman.com with a clear description of the right asserted and the material at issue.
19. Customer and Product Complaints
This DMCA procedure is not intended for complaints involving:
- Order delivery.
- Product quality.
- Returns.
- Refunds.
- Exchanges.
- Payments.
- Order cancellations.
- Customer service.
For these matters, contact support@thezakman.com and include the applicable order number where relevant.
20. Information Submitted With a Claim
Information provided in a copyright notice or counter-notification may be used as reasonably necessary to:
- Review the complaint.
- Verify relevant information.
- Locate the reported material.
- Communicate with involved parties.
- Process a counter-notification.
- Maintain legal or operational records.
- Comply with applicable law.
Because the DMCA notice process may require communications between parties, information contained in a notice or counter-notification may be disclosed to the affected party where required or appropriate under applicable law.
Do not include information that is unnecessary to the legal notice.
21. Privacy
Personal information submitted through the copyright claims process will be handled according to applicable law and our Privacy Policy.
Information may be retained for a reasonable period where necessary for legal compliance, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
22. No Legal Determination
Our receipt, review, removal, restoration, or other handling of material under this policy does not constitute a court judgment concerning copyright ownership or infringement.
Thezakman does not act as a court in resolving copyright ownership disputes between third parties.
Parties with unresolved legal disputes may need to pursue appropriate legal remedies independently.
23. No Waiver of Legal Rights
Nothing in this policy is intended to limit any rights, defenses, remedies, exceptions, or obligations available under applicable copyright law.
Where statutory requirements differ from general descriptions in this policy, the applicable statutory requirements control.
24. Changes to This DMCA Policy
We may update this DMCA Policy when reasonably necessary to reflect changes in our website, procedures, business operations, or applicable legal requirements.
The current version will be published on thezakman.com with an updated “Last Updated” date.
