DMCA Takedown Policy
CopyFlag respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. This policy outlines our procedures for handling copyright infringement claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the content was removed by mistake
- Your name, address, and phone number

Repeat Infringers
It is our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights. We reserve the right to terminate accounts that we determine, in our sole discretion, are repeatedly infringing the rights of others.
False Claims
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be subject to liability. Before submitting a notice, please ensure you have a good faith belief that the use is actually infringing.
Processing Time
We will respond to valid DMCA takedown notices promptly and in accordance with applicable law. Typically, we will process valid notices within 1-3 business days. Counter-notifications will be processed in accordance with DMCA requirements, which may take up to 10-14 business days.
