DMCA – Copyright Notice and Takedown Procedure

Last updated: December 27, 2024

At BiographieStart, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and are committed to complying with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) . This page explains our policy regarding copyrighted material and provides instructions for reporting suspected infringements.

1. What is the DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a U.S. law that protects the rights of creators by providing a procedure for reporting and removing content that infringes copyright.

2. Report a suspected violation

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized representative, and you believe that content on our site infringes your rights, you may submit a DMCA takedown request. To do so, please provide us with the following information:

Mandatory information in your notification:

  1. Identification of the Copyrighted Work : A clear description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. You may include URLs or other relevant information to help you locate the content in question.
  2. Identification of the allegedly infringing material : The URL or other specific location of the allegedly infringing material on our site.
  3. Your contact details : Your full name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
  4. Good Faith Statement : A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. Statement under penalty of perjury : A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
  6. Signature : A physical or electronic signature of the rights holder or their authorized representative.

Where to send your notification?

You can send your DMCA takedown request by email or postal mail to:

  • Email address : Contact@biographiestart.com

3. Procedure after receipt of notification

Once we receive a valid notification:

  1. We will review the request and remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content.
  2. We will notify the party that posted the content in question and provide them with a copy of the notification.
  3. If necessary, we will allow that party to file a counter-notification pursuant to the DMCA.

4. Submit a counter-notification

If you believe that content you posted was removed in error, you can submit a counter-notification. To be valid, it must include:

  1. An identification of the removed or disabled content and its original location.
  2. A sworn statement stating that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  3. Your contact details: full name, address, telephone number and email.
  4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the court in your area and that you accept service of process from the complaining party.
  5. A physical or electronic signature.

Send your counter-notification to the same address mentioned above.

5. Abuse and misrepresentation

Please note that the DMCA imposes penalties for making a false statement in a notification or counter-notification. Anyone who intentionally misrepresents infringement may be liable for damages, including legal fees.
