DMCA Copyright Policy

Last updated: September 8, 2026

Revdoku respects copyright and expects users to do the same. This policy explains how to report alleged copyright infringement and how to dispute a copyright removal using a counter-notice. It forms part of our Terms of Service and applies to material stored or hosted through Revdoku, including customer websites, files, shared links, and sites served through custom domains.

Send copyright notices, counter-notices, retractions, and related questions to [email protected].

The suggested email subjects are DMCA Notice and DMCA Counter-Notice. A particular subject line, form, account, or order of information is not required for an otherwise sufficient submission.

Before Sending a Notice

A copyright notice should be submitted by the copyright owner or someone authorized to act on the owner’s behalf. Consider whether the use is authorized by a license, the owner, or the law, including an applicable exception such as fair use. Our separate Fair Use Policy concerns service resources and traffic; it does not determine copyright fair use.

Identify the actual material and its location as precisely as possible. Include complete URLs for the relevant pages or files and enough detail to distinguish the material from other content at those locations. If several copyrighted works at a single online site are covered, you may provide a representative list. If the material is access-restricted, explain where it is located without sending passwords or other access credentials.

Please provide substantially the following information:

  1. Signature. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act for the owner of the copyright interest allegedly infringed. An electronic signature may be your typed full name, intended as your signature.
  2. Copyrighted work. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list of multiple works at a single online site. An original-source URL or other description can help identify the work.
  3. Material and location. Identification of the material you claim infringes copyright and want removed or disabled, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, such as the specific Revdoku-hosted page or file URL.
  4. Contact information. Information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, if available.
  5. Good-faith statement. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. Accuracy and authority statement. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

You do not need to attach the entire copyrighted work. Avoid unnecessary personal information or unrelated confidential material.

We review notices for substantial compliance with the requirements above. If a notice sufficiently identifies the work and disputed material and provides contact information but is otherwise incomplete, we will promptly try to contact the sender or take other reasonable steps to help obtain the missing information. An incomplete notice may need correction before we can act on it as a copyright takedown notice.

Upon receiving a substantially compliant notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material. We will take reasonable steps to notify the affected user promptly and explain the counter-notice process. We may also remove or disable material when we otherwise become aware of infringement, as appropriate under applicable law.

Removing material in response to a notice is not a court determination that infringement occurred. Revdoku does not decide the ultimate ownership or merits of a copyright dispute.

Disputing a Removal: Counter-Notices

If material you provided was removed or disabled because of a copyright notice and you believe this resulted from a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to [email protected]. For example, you may have permission to use the material, the complainant may have identified the wrong material, or your use may be permitted by law.

A counter-notice must be a written communication containing substantially the following:

  1. Your signature. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Removed material and former location. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and where it appeared before removal, including the relevant URL or URLs. Include any case reference from our notification if available.
  3. Statement under penalty of perjury. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Contact information and legal consent. Your name, address, and telephone number; a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district where your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Revdoku may be found; and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person’s agent. Please also include an email address so we can communicate with you.

A counter-notice has legal consequences, including consent to court jurisdiction and disclosure to the original complainant. Consider obtaining legal advice if you are unsure whether to submit one. An ordinary support appeal does not replace a counter-notice.

What Happens After a Counter-Notice

We review the counter-notice and may request missing information. After receiving a substantially compliant counter-notice, we will promptly send a copy to the original complainant and inform them that we will restore the material or cease disabling access in 10 business days.

We will restore the material or cease disabling access not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving the substantially compliant counter-notice, unless we first receive notice from the original complainant that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user’s allegedly infringing activity relating to that material. A disagreement, threat to sue, or request for more time is not itself notice of a filed action. If we receive notice of such an action, we will keep the material disabled under this process pending an appropriate resolution.

This process addresses the copyright restriction. Material or an account may remain restricted for an independent violation of our Acceptable Use Policy, our Terms, or applicable law. We will identify that separate reason when notifying the user, unless disclosure is prohibited by law or would create a security risk. General enforcement discretion or ordinary appeal rules do not replace the copyright counter-notice process.

Retractions

If you submitted a notice and wish to withdraw it, email [email protected] with enough information to identify the original notice and material, your signature, and a clear statement that you withdraw the claim. We may verify your authority before acting on a retraction and will consider it when reviewing restrictions and infringement history.

Repeat Infringement

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. We consider relevant circumstances, including infringement history, valid counter-notices, retractions, and evidence of mistake or misidentification. The number of complaints alone does not automatically establish infringement. Serious violations or attempts to evade enforcement may also result in restrictions or termination under our Terms and Acceptable Use Policy.

We accommodate and do not interfere with standard technical measures for identifying or protecting copyrighted works as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 512(i).

Information Sharing and Misrepresentations

We may share a copyright notice, including relevant contact information, with the affected user. We will forward a substantially compliant counter-notice to the original complainant. We may retain and disclose related records as described in our Privacy Policy and as required by law. These submissions are not confidential; include the information needed for your claim without adding unrelated sensitive information.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly making a material misrepresentation that material infringes copyright, or that it was removed by mistake or misidentification, may result in liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

Other Complaints

Use Report Abuse for trademark, impersonation, privacy, phishing, malware, and other non-copyright complaints. This copyright process does not replace those reporting routes. If material is hosted by another provider, contact that provider; we can act only on material or access within our control.
