DMCA and Copyright Policy

1. Copyright commitment

HighEndDIY respects intellectual-property rights and expects contributors, users, and partners to do the same. We respond to valid notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.

2. Copyright contact

Copyright Compliance Agent
Service provider: HighEndDIY.com
Website: https://highenddiy.com
Location: Queens, New York, United States
Email: help@HighEndDIY.com

Designation status: A complete physical street address and telephone number must be added to the public agent information and the agent must be registered in the U.S. Copyright Office directory before HighEndDIY relies on DMCA safe-harbor designation. Notices may be sent to the email address above while that administrative designation is completed.

3. Infringement-notice requirements

A copyright owner or authorized agent should provide a written notice containing:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act for the owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work or a representative list of multiple works.
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information sufficient to locate it, including the exact URL.
4. The complaining party’s name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement of good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the sender is authorized to act for the owner.

Incomplete notices may delay review or require clarification.

4. Our response

After receiving a valid notice, HighEndDIY may:

• Remove or disable access to identified material expeditiously.
• Notify the person responsible for that material.
• Request additional information and preserve relevant records.
• Document the claim, response, and related correspondence.
• Terminate repeat infringers where appropriate.

Removal or restriction is not an admission of liability.

5. Counter-notification

A person who believes material was removed because of mistake or misidentification may submit a written counter-notification containing:

1. A physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed material and its location before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury of good-faith belief that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification.
4. The sender’s name, address, and telephone number.
5. Consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate U.S. federal district court - or, if outside the United States, a federal district where HighEndDIY may be found.
6. A statement accepting service of process from the original complainant or that person’s agent.

We may forward the counter-notification to the complainant. Unless the complainant reports that a court action has been filed, material may be restored after the statutory waiting period, generally 10 to 14 business days.

6. Misrepresentation and repeat infringement

Knowingly misrepresenting infringement or mistaken removal may create liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). HighEndDIY may restrict or terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

7. Scope

This procedure is limited to copyright claims. Trademark, privacy, defamation, accessibility, or other complaints should be sent to help@HighEndDIY.com with an appropriate subject line.
