1. Overview
Affiliate.Wiki complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512. If you believe material posted on the Site — whether an editorial listing, a screenshot, or content inside a user submission — infringes your copyright, you can submit a takedown notice using the process below. We review every valid notice and remove or disable access to the material promptly when the notice is substantiated.
2. How to file a DMCA takedown notice
Send a written notice to our designated agent (contact details in Section 7). Email is preferred and faster. Your notice must be signed (electronic signatures are fine) by either the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for them.
3. What your notice must include
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a valid DMCA notice must contain:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed — if multiple works on the Site are covered by one notice, a representative list is acceptable.
- Identification of the material on the Site that you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — the exact URL of the page, and the specific element within the page where possible.
- Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Missing any of these elements may delay our response or invalidate the notice. Please also tell us whether the content should be removed in full or a specific element within a page.
4. Filing a counter-notice
If we removed or disabled access to material you posted and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). A counter-notice must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and its former location (URL).
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if you are outside the US, the district in which Affiliate.Wiki is located), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice, or their agent.
Send counter-notices to the same designated agent. When we receive a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the original complainant. We may restore the removed content in 10–14 business days unless the complainant files a court action seeking an injunction.
5. Repeat-infringer policy
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and submitters who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights. “Repeat infringer” means an account, domain, or contact email that has been the subject of two or more substantiated DMCA notices in a rolling twelve-month period.
6. Knowingly false claims
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake, can be held liable for damages — including costs and legal fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or us. Use this process in good faith only.
