DMCA Policy (DRAFT – attorney review)
This document is a draft for attorney review. It is not in effect and is not legal advice. It is the intended Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) notice-and-takedown policy for YayNo™, a service of Latitude 65 Technologies LLC.
Designated agent
Notices under 17 U.S.C. § 512 go to the designated agent for Latitude 65 Technologies LLC:
- Email: legal@getyayno.com
- Registration: DMCA-1086282 in the U.S. Copyright Office designated-agent directory
- Postal address: the company mailing address. It is not published in this preview. It will be the iPostal1 virtual mailbox once that box is assigned. Do not send notices to any other street address.
Counsel should confirm that the Copyright Office directory listing matches this email and the mailbox address before the service is public. This page is still a draft for attorney review.
How to send a notice
A notice should include the elements in 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (a URL is best).
- Your contact information (address, telephone number, and email).
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
We will review complete notices, remove or disable access to material when appropriate, and notify the user who posted it. Repeat infringers may have their accounts terminated.
Counter-notice
If your material was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification that includes the elements in 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). Counsel should supply the final form. We may restore the material in about 10–14 business days unless the original complainant seeks a court order, as the statute provides.
Misrepresentation
17 U.S.C. § 512(f) provides a cause of action for knowing material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice. Do not send a DMCA notice for a dispute that is not about copyright (for example an honest negative review). Use the report or takedown process instead.
Reviews and copyright
The text of a customer's review is generally the customer's copyrighted work, licensed to us under the Terms of Use. A business cannot use this DMCA process merely to take down a review it disagrees with. Photographs a user did not take, or other third-party works pasted into a review, may be proper DMCA subjects.
