Before submitting a notice
Logo disputes may involve copyright, trademark, licensing, or brand-accuracy questions. A DMCA notice is for claimed copyright infringement. If your concern is about a trademark, an outdated identity, attribution, or an incorrect file, explain that clearly in a regular contact message instead.
Only the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner should submit a takedown notice. Knowingly sending a material misrepresentation may create legal liability. Consider fair use, licensed use, public-domain status, and other legal exceptions before sending a notice.
What a copyright notice must include
- Your full legal name and a physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers multiple works.
- The exact VectorDose URL for each allegedly infringing item and enough information for us to locate it.
- Your mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.
Send the notice
Email the complete notice to info.vectordose@gmail.com with the subject line "Copyright Takedown Notice." Incomplete notices may require follow-up before they can be evaluated.
What happens after a complete notice
We may remove or restrict access to the identified material while reviewing the claim. Where appropriate, we may notify the person who supplied the material and share the notice with them so they can understand and respond to the allegation. We may keep records needed to process the claim, prevent repeat infringement, and meet legal obligations.
Counter-notification
If material you provided was removed because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification that includes:
- Your name, address, telephone number, and physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the removed material and the location where it appeared before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
- Your consent to the jurisdiction required by the applicable DMCA process and your agreement to accept service of process from the original claimant or the claimant's agent.
If a valid counter-notification is received, the original claimant may be notified. Material may be restored after the applicable waiting period unless the claimant reports that court action has been filed to restrain the disputed use.
Repeat infringement
Where appropriate and within our control, we may restrict submissions or access associated with repeat infringement. We also reserve the right to remove content when credible ownership or authorization concerns remain unresolved.
