We’ll make sure the notice is DMCA-compliant including:

  1. Specification of Copyrighted Content. Identification of the work which is claimed to be copyrighted and infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by the notification, a representative list of such works at that site.

  2. Location of Infringing Material. 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 HOSTILICA to locate the material. This must include the specific URLs for each infringing instance.

  3. Contact Information for Complaining Party. Information reasonably sufficient to permit HOSTILICA to contact the complaining party, such as name, address, and telephone number, as well as facsimile number and email, if available, at which the complaining party may be contacted.

  4. Good Faith Statement. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

  5. Statement Under Perjury. 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 copyright owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly being infringed.

  6. Signature. A physical or electronic signature of the complaining party or its agent.

We’ll forward that notice to our customer, and make it clear how to proceed.

If the DMCA notice relates to content hosted on our servers, we will temporarily remove, or disable access to the disputed content.
