Copyright / DMCA Policy

We respect the intellectual property of others and expect our users to do the same. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and equivalent laws, and we terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

Sending a takedown notice

Email the designated agent at info@pipcircle.com with: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work; (3) the URL(s) of the material you want removed; (4) your contact details; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised; and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

What happens next

We remove or disable access to the material promptly, notify the user who posted it and record the notice. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing may make you liable for damages.

Filing a counter-notice

If you believe your content was removed by mistake, send the agent a counter-notice containing: your signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification; your name, address and phone number; and consent to the jurisdiction of the courts for your address (or ours if you are outside that country). Unless the complainant files a court action within 10–14 business days, we may restore the material.

Every piece of user content also has a Report button that links here, so you can start a copyright report from the content itself.
