If you're accepting for a company or other legal entity, you're confirming you've got the authority to do so. In that case, "you" means that entity. By accepting this Policy, you're confirming that you have the right to enter into this agreement, either for yourself or on behalf of your company. If you're acting on behalf of a company, you're promising us that you have the authority to bind that company to this Policy.

Reporting claims of intellectual property infringement
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) requires Service providers like us to remove or disable access to potentially infringing content when we receive a notice that meets certain requirements. For content related to our Products, we follow the DMCA guidelines for copyright infringement notices. We use a similar approach for trademark infringement allegations.
If you believe in good faith that any materials provided through our Products infringe upon your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, here's how you can request removal:
- Fill out our Copyright (DMCA) Takedown Form (for copyright issues only)
- Fill out our Trademark Takedown Form (for trademark issues only)
- Send the required information (we'll get to that in a sec) to our Designated Agent via email at [email protected] or by mail to: Finsweet Inc., Attn: IP Agent, 1732 Pettit Ave, Unit A, Merrick, New York, 11566, US
What information do we need?
To help us address your claim effectively, please provide:
- A description of the intellectual property you believe has been infringed, including where we can find the material you're concerned about (like a specific URL or location within our Products).
- Information about where we can find the original or authorized copy of the work (e.g., a URL or publication details).
- Your contact details: address, phone number, and email.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use you're reporting isn't authorized by the intellectual property owner, their agent, or the law.
- The following statements:some text
- "I have a good faith belief that use of the disputed material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright or trademark owner, its agent, or the law."
- "I certify under penalty of perjury that the information in this complaint is accurate and that I am the copyright or trademark owner or am authorized to act on the copyright or trademark owner's behalf."
- Your electronic or physical signature (or that of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner).
Quick heads up: U.S. copyright laws require you to consider defenses like fair use before sending a notice. If you're not sure, it might be worth chatting with an attorney. Also, knowingly submitting a false or misleading copyright takedown notice is illegal and could lead to you paying damages. We reserve the right to seek damages from anyone who submits a notification of claimed infringement in violation of the law.
Just so you know, we'll send a copy of your notice to the party responsible for the content you're reporting.
What if content is removed by mistake?
If you believe content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you can file a counter notification. Here's what we need for that:
- Identification of the content that was removed or disabled, and where it appeared before it was taken down.
- Your contact details: address, phone number, and email.
- The following statements:some text
- "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled."
- If you're in the USA: "I consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court located within the judicial district in which I reside."
- If you're outside the USA: "I consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and I will accept Service of process from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided Finsweet with the complaint at issue."
- Your electronic or physical signature.
Remember, submitting a false or misleading counter notice is also illegal and could result in damages.
