Copyright / DMCA Policy

Effective 8 May 2026 · Version 2026-05-08

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to clear notices of alleged infringement. This policy works alongside the Terms of Service and the Acceptable Use Policy.

Filing a takedown notice

If you believe content on Swapmark infringes a copyright you own or are authorised to enforce, email hello@swapmark.io with the subject line “DMCA notice” and include all of the following:

  1. Your full legal name, mailing address, phone number, and email.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed (or a representative list if multiple).
  3. The exact URL(s) on swapmark.io of the allegedly infringing material — enough that we can find it.
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the rights-holder, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights-holder or authorised to act on its behalf.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

We may forward your notice (including your contact details) to the user who uploaded the content.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe in good faith it was a mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same email with subject “DMCA counter-notice” including:

  1. Your contact details.
  2. Identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your consent to the jurisdiction of the courts where you reside (or, if outside the United States, of any judicial district where Swapmark is found), and your agreement to accept service of process from the original notifier.
  5. Your physical or electronic signature.

If we receive a valid counter-notice we may restore the content unless the original notifier files a court action seeking to restrain the user within 10–14 business days.

Repeat infringers

We will terminate the accounts of users we determine, in our sole discretion, to be repeat infringers.

Misuse

Knowingly material misrepresentations in either a notice or counter-notice can result in liability for damages, including costs and legal fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and similar laws.
