DMCA Policy
How to file a copyright notice or counter-notice with DeskWolf under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and where to send it.
Last updated May 31, 20261. Our policy in one paragraph
DeskWolf respects copyright. If you believe material on a DeskWolf-operated site or a site we host for a client infringes your copyright, you can send a takedown notice to our designated agent (below). We will review and, if the notice is valid, remove or disable access to the material and notify the user who posted it. They can file a counter-notice if they believe the takedown was a mistake.
2. Designated agent
Attn: DMCA Agent
Highland, California, United States
Email: contact@deskwolf.ai
Subject line: DMCA Notice
Email is the fastest route. Postal mail is accepted at our mailing address on request — email us first and we will confirm the address for service.
3. Filing a takedown notice
To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your written notice must include all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
- Identification of the material that is allegedly infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it — usually the full URL.
- Your contact information — name, address, phone number, and email.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
Missing any of these elements may delay or invalidate the notice. Send your full notice by email to contact@deskwolf.ai.
4. What happens after we get a valid notice
- We acknowledge receipt within 2 business days.
- We remove or disable access to the material expeditiously.
- We notify the user who posted it and forward a copy of the notice (with your contact info — see § 7 below).
- We document the action in our internal record.
5. Filing a counter-notice
If your content was taken down and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you can submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). It must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material removed and its location before removal (the original URL).
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, phone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is located (or, if outside the U.S., for any judicial district in which DeskWolf may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.
Send counter-notices to contact@deskwolf.ai with subject line DMCA Counter-Notice.
6. What happens after a counter-notice
We forward the counter-notice to the original complainant. If we do not receive notice within 10 to 14 business days that the complainant has filed a court action seeking an order to restrain the alleged infringer, we may restore the material.
7. Privacy of notices
By submitting a DMCA notice or counter-notice, you understand that the document — including your contact information — may be forwarded to the other party and shared with our hosting providers as needed to act on the notice. Notices and counter-notices may also be published in redacted form (e.g., to the Lumen Database) at our discretion.
8. Repeat infringer policy
DeskWolf will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users we determine to be repeat infringers. A "repeat infringer" is a user who has received multiple valid DMCA takedown notices for separate works.
9. Misrepresentations
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake, may be liable for damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — incurred by us or by the affected user. Please be careful before filing.
10. Trademark, defamation, privacy, and other complaints
The DMCA only covers copyright. For trademark complaints, defamation, privacy violations, or other content concerns, email hello@deskwolf.ai with a description of the issue and we will respond.
