  3. Your contact information. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. Good faith statement. 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. Signature. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

Send your complete DMCA takedown notice to [email protected].

Important:

Under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Please consider whether fair use, fair dealing, or a similar exception to copyright applies before submitting a takedown notice.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to our designated DMCA agent. Your counter-notification must include:

  1. Identification of removed material. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  2. Statement under penalty of perjury. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
  3. Consent to jurisdiction. 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 your address is outside the United States, the Northern District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notification or an agent of such person.
  4. Your contact information. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. Signature. Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will promptly provide the original complainant with a copy of the counter-notification. If the original complainant does not file a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity within 10 to 14 business days, we will restore the removed material.

04

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA, Slumlords will terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat copyright infringers.

  • Three uncontested takedowns end an account. A takedown is "uncontested" if the uploader does not file a counter-notice within 14 days, or files one but the claimant initiates a court action.
  • Voluntary removal does not count. Uploaders can voluntarily remove their own content at any time without it counting toward strikes.
  • Successful counter-notices clear the strike. When a counter-notice succeeds (claimant does not sue within the window), the associated strike is cleared.
  • Same-content cap. Multiple notices on the same piece of content from the same or different claimants count as at most one strike.

If you believe an account holder is a repeat infringer, follow the instructions above to contact our DMCA agent.
