Respect for copyright matters to us, and we respond to proper notices about material on generator-name.org. Below you will find how to send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512) and what happens next.

Sending a takedown notice

To be effective, your written notice needs to contain all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature, or that of a person authorised to act for the copyright owner.
2. A description of the copyrighted work that you claim is infringed (for several works, a representative list is enough).
3. The infringing material and where it is on generator-name.org, described precisely enough to locate it; page URLs are best.
4. How to reach you: your name, address, telephone number and email.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the owner, the owner's agent or the law.
6. A declaration that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner.

Where to send it

Please email your notice to [email protected] and put “DMCA notice” in the subject. We handle notices promptly, and if a notice is valid, the material is removed or access to it is disabled. If something is missing, we may ask you for it before we can act.

Responding to a removal

If material you provided was removed and you believe this was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. It must include:

• a physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
• your statement, under penalty of perjury, of a good-faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address and phone number, your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, outside the United States, of any judicial district where the service provider may be found), and your agreement to accept service of process from the person who filed the notice.

After a valid counter-notice, the material may be restored in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days, unless the original complainant tells us they have filed a court action.

Policy on repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances, anyone found to infringe copyright repeatedly will lose access to the site, even though generator-name.org has no user accounts.

False claims

Be aware that 17 U.S.C. §512(f) makes a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents infringement, or a mistaken removal, liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. If you are not sure whether a use infringes, perhaps because it could be fair use, it may be wise to get legal advice first.
