Filing a Notice of Copyright Infringement

To file a notice of claimed copyright infringement with CooplyHQ, you must provide a written communication to our designated agent that includes substantially the following information, as required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3):

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. 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 the service provider to locate the material (such as the full URL).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. 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 owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Notices that do not substantially comply with all of these requirements may not be effective. Please note that under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that material you posted to CooplyHQ was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our designated agent under 17 U.S.C. §512(g). To be effective, a counter-notification must be a written communication sent to legal@cooplyhq.com that includes substantially the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which CooplyHQ may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, CooplyHQ will forward a copy to the original complaining party. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against you within ten (10) business days of receiving the counter-notification, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification, at our discretion.
