DMCA Policy

"Watermelon Salad" is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We take copyright infringement seriously and will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

This policy describes the information that should be present in a DMCA takedown notice and how "Watermelon Salad" handles such notices, as well as how to submit a counter-notification if you believe your content was removed in error.

Filing a DMCA Notice

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via the "Watermelon Salad" website or services, please notify our designated Copyright Agent by sending a written DMCA Takedown Notice with the following information:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit "Watermelon Salad" to locate the material (e.g., URL, specific page on our site).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit "Watermelon Salad" to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and an email address.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has 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. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please send your DMCA Takedown Notice through our contact page, clearly indicating "DMCA Takedown Notice" in the subject line or message.
