TL;DR
Send a complete written notice to our designated copyright agent (below). We respond promptly. You can counter-notice if your stuff was taken down by mistake. Repeat infringers lose access.
Compliance statement
Relay Digital complies with the notice-and-takedown provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512. If you believe content we host or distribute infringes your copyright, you can submit a notice using the format below.
Filing a takedown notice
To submit a valid DMCA notice, include all of the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature (or that of an authorized agent acting on behalf of the copyright owner).
- The copyrighted work that's been infringed. If multiple works, a representative list.
- The material claimed to be infringing — with enough info that we can find it (e.g. the URL on relaydigital.agency).
- Your contact info: name, mailing address, phone, email.
- A statement, in good faith, that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the info in the notice is accurate and that you're the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
Notices that don't substantially meet these requirements may not be acted on.
Designated agent
Send notices to our Designated Copyright Agent:
Counter-notice
If you think your stuff was removed (or disabled) because of a mistake or misidentification, you can file a counter-notice with substantially the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- The material that was removed (or disabled) and where it appeared before removal.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, phone, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for your address (or, if outside the U.S., any judicial district where Relay may be found), and that you'll accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.
Send counter-notices to the same agent (subject line: DMCA Counter-Notice).
What happens after a counter-notice
If your counter-notice is valid, we forward it to the party who sent the original takedown. If that party doesn't tell us within ten (10) business days that they've filed a court action to restrain the activity, we may restore the material at our discretion.
Repeat infringers
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts and access of users, customers, or contributors who repeatedly infringe copyright.
False notices
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages. We may pursue or cooperate in those claims.
Changes
We may update this policy. The current version is always here with a fresh "Last updated" date.
