Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Notice

TopFollow respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This page outlines the information that should be present in these notices and how to submit a proper DMCA notice.

Filing a DMCA Complaint

If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our DMCA Agent with the following information in writing (preferably via email):

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
  2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material.
  3. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
  4. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  6. A physical or electronic signature of the owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Please send this information to our DMCA Agent at:

Email: [your contact email]
Address: [your physical address, if applicable]
Phone: [your contact phone number, if applicable]

Counter-Notification

If you believe that your material that was removed or to which access was disabled is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the DMCA Agent:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature;
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
  3. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the material; and
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in [your jurisdiction], and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the DMCA Agent, TopFollow may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the provider of the material, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

Repeat Infringers

TopFollow reserves the right to terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers or are repeatedly charged with infringement.
