How to send a notice

A notice must include all six of these elements. A notice without them may not be actioned.

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the owner of the rights, or of a person authorised to act for the owner.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed. If several works are on one page, you may list them.
  3. Identification of the material that is infringing and where it is on C0VIBE: the web address (URL) of each page or the name of each item.
  4. Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate, and that you are the owner or are authorised to act for the owner.

Send the notice through the route above. Mark it as a copyright notice.

What we do on receipt

When a notice meets the elements above, we:

  • remove or disable access to the material, as soon as we reasonably can;
  • tell the person who posted the material that it was removed, and send them a copy of the notice;
  • record the notice in our moderation records.

We do not decide whether a copyright claim is right. If a notice is incomplete, we may ask you to complete it.

Counter-notice

If you posted the removed material and believe it was removed by mistake, you can send a counter-notice. It must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the place where it was before removal.
  3. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, postal address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where your address is, or, if you live outside the United States, of the court in the district where C0VIBE is located.
  5. A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

Send it through the route above. Unless the person who sent the notice tells us they have filed a court case, we restore the material within 10 to 14 business days after we receive your counter-notice.

Counter-notices are forwarded to the person who sent the original notice.

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe copyright on C0VIBE. The number of confirmed notices that leads to closure: to be set by the company before this page leaves draft.

A closed account is handled as described in the terms and on the privacy page.
