DMCA and copyright policy

Send notices and counter-notices to our designated copyright agent:

Our agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office under registration number DMCA-1082777. Email is the fastest way to reach us. This address is for copyright matters only; other messages may not get a reply.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must be in writing and include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorized to act for them.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed, or, if several works are covered by one notice, a representative list of them.
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and that you want removed, with enough information for us to find it. The full URL of each page is best.
4. Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number and, if you have one, email address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the way complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

A notice missing any of these may not be valid, and we may ask you to fix it. When we receive a valid notice, we remove or disable access to the material and tell the business that published it, including a copy of your notice. Your contact details will be shared with them so they can respond or reach you directly.

Be accurate. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, can be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. If you aren't sure your rights are infringed, for example because the use might be fair use, talk to a lawyer first.

If your material was removed and you believe that happened by mistake or because it was misidentified, you can send a counter-notice to the same agent. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), it must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and where it appeared before it was removed.
3. 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.
4. Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which NewMent may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice, or their agent.

When we receive a valid counter-notice, we send a copy to the person who filed the original notice. If they don't tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to stop the infringement, we restore the material, or access to it, within 10 to 14 business days after we received the counter-notice.

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of businesses and users who repeatedly infringe copyrights. We keep a record of valid notices against each account. An account that gets more than one valid notice that is not resolved by a successful counter-notice may be suspended or closed, and we may act sooner when the infringement is clear or deliberate.

For trademark, privacy or other complaints about content on a business's page, email legal@newment.co with the page URL and what is wrong. It also helps to contact the business directly; its details are usually on the page itself. Our Terms of Service set out what businesses may and may not publish.
