2. What a takedown notice must contain

A notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)(A) must be a written communication to the agent above that includes substantially all of the following. If something is missing we will tell you what, so you can fix it.

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorised to act for the owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed. If several works at one location are covered, a representative list is enough.
3. Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough information for us to locate it — for a Flinzo project, the project or share link.
4. Information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you: your name, address, telephone number, and email 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 that the information in the notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the owner or are authorised to act for the owner.

Please be accurate. Section 512(f) makes a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer and by us. We do not screen your footage for infringement automatically, and we do not intend to start: we act on notices.

What happens next. We remove or disable access to the identified material promptly, we tell the account holder what was removed and who asked, we give them a copy of the notice, and we record a strike on the account.

3. Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3). It must include all four of the following.

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where your address is — or, if your address is outside the United States, for any district where we may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice, or their agent.

On receiving a valid counter-notice we promptly forward it to the person who sent the original notice and tell them we will restore the material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days. We restore it in that window unless they first tell us they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you from the activity. Business days exclude weekends and US federal holidays. A strike that ends in a successful counter-notice does not count toward termination.

The same penalty applies in both directions: a knowing material misrepresentation that material was removed by mistake carries liability under §512(f).

4. Repeat-infringer policy

We terminate accounts of repeat infringers, and we publish the number rather than leaving it vague. An account that accumulates 3 unresolved strikes is terminated. The number we publish here is the number our systems enforce.

• A strike is recorded when we remove or disable material in response to a notice that meets the requirements above.
• A strike is removed when a valid counter-notice leads to restoration, when the complainant withdraws the notice, or when we determine the notice was invalid.
• Termination means the account is closed and its projects and files are deleted. We tell the account holder before we do it, unless a law prevents us.
• A terminated repeat infringer may not open a new account.

Separately from copyright: if you appear in footage someone else uploaded and you want it removed, you do not need a DMCA notice. Write to us and say so, and we will route it to the account holder and to our legal contact. That is a different process with a different basis, and we treat it seriously.
