Copyright Policy

Overview

Draftli respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. Draftli will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Draftli service that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent, in accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), the EU Digital Services Act ("DSA"), and other applicable copyright laws.

Designated Copyright Agent

If you believe that content hosted on Draftli infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our Designated Copyright Agent:

Filing a Copyright Infringement Notice

To file a valid infringement notice, you must provide a written communication (by email) that includes the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Draftli to locate the material. Please include the URL(s) of the page(s) containing the allegedly infringing content.
4. Your contact information, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. 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.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner. For notices under U.S. law (DMCA), this statement must be made under penalty of perjury.

These requirements satisfy both DMCA Section 512(c)(3) and DSA Article 16.

Counter-Notification & Right to Dispute

If you believe your content was removed in error or that you have authorization to use the material, you may file a counter-notification by sending a written communication to our Designated Copyright Agent that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
3. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification. For disputes under U.S. law (DMCA), this statement must be made under penalty of perjury.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number. For disputes under U.S. law (DMCA), a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, Draftli will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity within 10 to 14 business days (DMCA) or an equivalent period under applicable law, Draftli will restore the removed content.

Repeat Infringers

Draftli will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright. Repeat infringer status is determined at Draftli's sole discretion.

Misrepresentation & Bad-Faith Notices

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages. Similarly, under the DSA, notices that are manifestly unfounded may result in suspension of notice processing privileges. Do not file a copyright notice unless you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf and have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized.
