DMCA Policy

Mastheads respects intellectual property rights. We respond to valid takedown requests under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions. If you believe content published by a Mastheads-powered site infringes your copyright, contact us using the process below.

How to file a notice

Send the following to dmca@mastheads.app:

1. Your full name, mailing address, telephone, and email address.
2. An identification of the copyrighted work that you claim is infringed (or a representative list if multiple works).
3. The URL of the allegedly infringing content on the Mastheads- powered site.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Our response

We review valid notices within 5 business days. If we determine the notice is valid, we will:

• Notify the affected customer.
• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing article on the customer's site (or instruct the customer to do so).
• In cases of repeat infringement, suspend the customer's Mastheads account.

Counter-notification

If you are the customer whose content was removed and you believe the removal was in error, you may submit a counter-notice with the same elements as listed above, plus:

• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district where Mastheads may be found).
