Filing a Takedown Notice
To submit a notice of claimed infringement, send a written communication to the agent above that includes all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the rights owner.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with information sufficient for us to locate it (e.g. URL, beat ID, scan-result ID).
- Your contact information: name, address, phone, 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 that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
We process complete notices within 3 business days. Incomplete notices will be returned with a request for the missing element.
Counter-Notification
If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice. Include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed in error.
- Your name, address, phone, email, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the U.S., for any judicial district where beatvaults may be found).
We forward valid counter-notices to the original complainant. If they do not file a court action within 10-14 business days, the content is restored.
Repeat-Infringer Policy
We terminate accounts that are the subject of repeated valid takedown notices. “Repeated” generally means three or more notices within 12 months that were not successfully counter-noticed.
False or Abusive Notices
Filing a knowingly false DMCA notice subjects you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). We reserve the right to refer abusive filers to law enforcement and to seek damages.
Other Jurisdictions
For notices outside the U.S. · e.g., the EU eCommerce Directive (Article 14) or UK Digital Economy Act · email dmca@beatvaults.com with the equivalent statutory information; we comply with takedowns from any jurisdiction where required.
