DMCA copyright policy
How to report content published on Getyn that infringes your copyright, and how to respond if your content is removed.
This is a working draft published for transparency. It has not yet completed legal review, so it should not be relied on as final contractual terms. Questions: legal@getyn.com.
Getyn respects copyright and expects the people who build on it to do the same. We respond to properly submitted notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and equivalent laws elsewhere.
We also terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe.
1Submitting a takedown notice
Send notices to legal@getyn.com with the subject line “DMCA notice”. To be actionable, your notice must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed
- The full URL of the specific material you are asking us to remove, precise enough for us to locate it
- Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf
2What happens next
If your notice is complete, we will remove or disable access to the material and notify the user who published it, passing on a copy of your notice.
Incomplete notices slow this down. If something required is missing we will tell you what it is rather than acting on a defective notice.
3Counter-notice
If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. It must include your signature, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed in error, your contact details, and your consent to the jurisdiction of an appropriate court.
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the person who filed the original notice. Unless they file a court action, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days.
4Misuse
Knowingly filing a false notice or counter-notice carries legal liability, including damages and costs. Please do not use this process to resolve disputes that are not about copyright.
