DMCA Notice Procedure
If you are a copyright owner or authorized representative and believe that material available through the Budbath website infringes your copyrighted work, you may send us a written DMCA notice.
To help us evaluate your complaint, your notice should contain enough information to identify the copyrighted work, locate the allegedly infringing material, establish your authority to submit the complaint, and allow us to contact you regarding the matter.
A complete and specific notice generally allows our team to review the reported content more efficiently.
Required Information in a DMCA Notice
A copyright complaint should include the following information to the extent applicable:
Notice Checklist
- Identification of the copyrighted work: Describe the original work that you believe has been infringed. If multiple works are involved, provide a representative list.
- Identification of the allegedly infringing material: Clearly describe the material that you believe infringes your copyright.
- Location of the material: Provide the direct URL or other specific location where the allegedly infringing material can be found on the website.
- Your contact information: Provide your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address where appropriate.
- Authority to act: If you are submitting the notice on behalf of a copyright owner, explain your relationship to the owner and your authorization to act.
- Good-faith statement: State that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
- Accuracy statement: Confirm that the information in the notice is accurate and, where applicable, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Signature: Include a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative.
Identifying the Copyrighted Work
Your notice should clearly identify the original copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed. Depending on the type of work, this may include the title, description, publication information, registration information, or a link to the original work.
If your claim concerns photographs, graphics, written material, artwork, videos, or other digital content, please provide enough information for us to distinguish the original work from other similar materials.
When several copyrighted works are involved, a representative list may be provided where appropriate, together with enough information for us to understand the scope of the complaint.
Identifying the Reported Content
Please identify the exact material you believe infringes your copyright. A direct URL is strongly recommended whenever available.
If the reported material appears on a product page, collection page, blog article, image, or another part of the website, provide the relevant page address and describe the specific content at issue.
Important: A general statement that copyrighted material appears somewhere on the website may not provide enough information for us to locate and review the specific material.
Good-Faith Statement
A DMCA notice should include a statement confirming that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that the use of the identified material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
The statement should be made honestly and based on the information available to the copyright owner or authorized representative at the time the notice is submitted.
Do not submit a copyright complaint simply because you disagree with content, product presentation, a business relationship, or another matter that does not involve copyright infringement.
Accuracy & Authority Statement
The notice should also confirm that the information provided is accurate and that the person submitting the notice is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner where applicable.
This requirement helps ensure that copyright complaints are submitted by parties with an appropriate interest in the copyrighted work and reduces the risk of incorrect or unauthorized claims.
Review of DMCA Notices
After receiving a copyright notice, Budbath may review the information provided to determine whether the notice contains sufficient information to identify the claimed copyrighted work and the allegedly infringing material.
If the notice is incomplete, unclear, or missing important information, we may request additional details before determining what action, if any, is appropriate.
A submitted notice does not automatically establish that infringement has occurred. Budbath may consider the information provided, the nature of the reported material, available authorization, and other relevant circumstances.
Possible Actions After a Notice
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, Budbath may take appropriate action after reviewing a valid copyright complaint.
- Request additional information from the copyright owner or authorized representative.
- Review the reported content and its source.
- Contact the person or party responsible for the reported material.
- Remove or restrict access to material where appropriate.
- Temporarily limit access while a copyright concern is reviewed.
- Take other appropriate action consistent with applicable law.
The action taken will depend on the specific facts and circumstances of each complaint. Budbath does not guarantee that every submitted notice will result in removal or restriction of the reported material.
Counter Notification
If material is removed or access is restricted following a copyright complaint, the affected party may contact Budbath to provide information explaining why the material was authorized or why the removal may have been made in error.
A counter notification should clearly identify the affected material and provide relevant information supporting the request for reconsideration.
Where a counter notification is received, Budbath may review the information and determine what further action is appropriate under the circumstances and applicable law.
Please note: A counter notification should only be submitted when the responding party has a legitimate basis for disputing the copyright complaint.
Repeat Copyright Infringement
Budbath expects users and other parties who provide content to respect copyright rights. Where appropriate and consistent with applicable law, we may take additional action regarding repeated or persistent copyright infringement.
Depending on the circumstances, such action may include restricting access to content, limiting website privileges, or taking other reasonable measures.
Any action concerning repeat infringement will be evaluated based on the available information and the specific circumstances involved.
False or Misleading Notices
Copyright complaints should be submitted in good faith and should contain accurate information. Knowingly submitting false, misleading, fraudulent, or abusive copyright notices may have legal consequences.
Budbath may consider the circumstances surrounding a complaint when determining how to respond to repeated or clearly unsupported claims.
If you are uncertain about whether specific content constitutes copyright infringement, you may wish to obtain independent legal advice before submitting a formal DMCA notice.
Third-Party Content
Certain materials appearing through an online store may be supplied by third parties, vendors, service providers, customers, or other external parties. Budbath may not independently own every item of content that may appear on or pass through the website.
If your complaint concerns third-party material, please identify the material as specifically as possible and explain the copyright basis for your claim.
Budbath may contact the relevant party or take other reasonable steps depending on the circumstances and applicable law.
