DMCA & Copyright Policy

1. Copyright and Open-Source Licensing

Open-source software remains protected by copyright. The GNU General Public License (GPL) permits redistribution, including commercial redistribution, subject to its terms.

We assess copyright concerns in relation to the specific material, applicable license, and rights involved. We do not assume that every image, font, document, or other asset included with software shares the same license. If your concern involves an asset or a license violation, identify the material and explain the rights or license terms you believe are affected.

2. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf, send a written notice containing:

1. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, or a representative list if your notice covers multiple works at a single online site.
3. Identification of the material you believe infringes your rights, including the exact ThemeSite URL or URLs and enough detail for us to locate it.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Submit a Copyright Notice

Send all copyright notices and counter-notifications to Support@themesite.net. For copyright notices, use the subject Copyright Notice — ThemeSite. For counter-notifications, use Counter-Notification — ThemeSite. Include the information listed in the relevant section of this policy.

3. How We Handle Notices

We review copyright notices promptly. When a notice is valid, we act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material concerned. We may request missing information needed to assess a notice and, where relevant, notify the user or supplier responsible for the material.

Removing or disabling access to material does not determine copyright ownership or establish that infringement has occurred.

4. Counter-Notifications

Where the DMCA counter-notification procedure applies, a person whose material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification may submit a written counter-notification containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material removed or disabled and its location before removal or disabling.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number.
5. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal District Court for the judicial district where your address is located or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which the service provider may be found.
6. A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original copyright notice or that person’s agent.

Send your counter-notification using the contact instructions in Section 2. We will forward a valid counter-notification to the original complainant. Where this procedure applies, we will restore the material no earlier than 10 and no later than 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification, unless we first receive notice that the complainant has filed a court action seeking an order restraining the allegedly infringing activity.

5. Repeat Infringement

Where applicable, we terminate repeat infringers’ accounts in appropriate circumstances. We may also restrict access to or remove material while addressing copyright claims.

6. Accuracy and Information Sharing

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a copyright notice or counter-notification may result in legal liability.

We may share relevant information from a notice or counter-notification with the affected party, service providers, or authorities as needed to address the claim. Do not include passwords, payment credentials, or unrelated sensitive information.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this policy to reflect changes in our procedures or applicable law. The current version is published on this page, with the last-updated date shown above.
