Filing a takedown notice

Send a written notice to our designated agent containing:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
  3. the exact page address(es) on the Site where the material appears;
  4. your name, postal address, telephone number and e-mail address;
  5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
  6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for the owner.

Designated agent: Copyright Agent, Zipyell.com, see the Contact Us page
E-mail: contact@zipyell.com (or choose "Copyright / DMCA notice" in our contact form)

We will remove or disable access to the material promptly after receiving a valid notice and, where possible, inform the person who provided it.

Counter-notice

If you believe material you submitted was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same agent with: your signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, telephone number and consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court. We may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant tells us they have filed a court action.

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of members who repeatedly infringe copyright.

Misrepresentation

Knowingly making false claims in a notice or counter-notice can make you liable for damages. If you are unsure whether material infringes your rights, consider getting legal advice first.
