DMCA Policy

Designated agent

LaunchPad Host responds to valid notices submitted under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512). Send notices to dmca@launchpadhost.com.

What a valid notice must contain

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner (or authorized agent).
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed — a specific URL or work, not a category.
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material — a specific URL hosted on our infrastructure.
4. Your contact information (name, address, phone, email).
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Notices missing any element will be returned for correction.

What happens after a valid notice

1. We notify the customer and provide a copy of the notice.
2. We expeditiously disable access to the specific material identified.
3. We inform the customer of their right to counter-notice.

Counter-notice

A customer who believes material was disabled by mistake or misidentification may submit a counter-notice including identification of the material, a statement under penalty of perjury of good-faith belief the removal was a mistake, consent to jurisdiction, and a signature. On a valid counter-notice we will restore access after 10 business days unless the complaining party notifies us that they have filed suit.

Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts of customers who are subject to repeated, valid DMCA notices for the same or related material. We do not disclose customer identity to the complaining party except as required by valid legal process (subpoena, court order).

Abuse of the DMCA process

Submitting a false or bad-faith notice is a violation of 17 U.S.C. §512(f) and may expose the sender to damages and attorneys' fees. We document and may publicly call out clearly bogus takedown attempts.
