Copyright and Intellectual-Property Notice & Takedown Procedure

Submitting a notice

• Give the exact affected URL(s).
• Describe the protected material and allegedly infringing portion.
• State the legal basis and territory where relevant.
• Provide contact information and, if acting for another person, authority to act.
• State in good faith that the information supplied is accurate.

Review and action

We may request clarification, preserve evidence, restrict access, remove or edit material, restore material, or reject an incomplete/abusive notice. Timelines depend on urgency, law, complexity and available information.

Misuse

Knowingly false, fraudulent, automated or abusive notices may be rejected and may result in restrictions. This process does not replace statutory procedures that apply in a particular jurisdiction.
