DMCA and takedown

Draft dated October 21, 2026. The designated agent is not registered with the U.S. Copyright Office yet. Counsel must register an agent before this policy is the one we rely on for the safe-harbor process.

1. What this page is for

Use it to tell us about copyright infringement on a site we host or on a preview at preview.htmlhosts.com. Use it also to ask us to take down a preview you did not ask for, even when copyright is not the issue. General abuse that is not copyright can go to the same address; the acceptable use page says what we host.

2. Designated agent

[Name, physical mail address, phone, and email of the designated agent — counsel must insert and register before launch.]

Until that registration exists, contact us through our contact form. That form is a contact, not a claim that a designated agent is already registered.

3. What a copyright notice should include

A notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) needs, in substance:

1. A signature of the copyright owner or someone allowed to act for them. A typed name is enough on an email.
2. The work you say was copied, or a list if many works are on one site.
3. The page address where the material is, enough for us to find it.
4. Your name, address, phone number, and email.
5. A statement that you believe the use is not authorized by the owner, the owner's agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the notice is accurate, and that you are the owner or are allowed to act for the owner, under penalty of perjury.

We may ignore a notice that does not give us enough to find the material. We may ask you to complete it. Knowingly sending a false notice has legal consequences. This draft is not advice about whether your notice is valid.

4. What we do with a complete notice

We remove or disable the material that the notice identifies, or we refuse a preview that should not be up. We tell the customer when we can. We may send the notice, minus information we should not pass on, to the customer so they can respond.

5. Counter-notice

If you believe material was removed by mistake, counsel must publish the counter-notice procedure before we rely on it. A counter-notice under the statute generally includes your signature, the material and the address, a statement under penalty of perjury that the removal was a mistake or misidentification, your name and contact details, and consent to jurisdiction as the statute requires. We will not restore material until counsel confirms the timeline and the contents. Do not treat this paragraph as the procedure.

6. Repeat infringement

We will disable sites of customers who repeatedly post material we remove for copyright, once counsel defines "repeatedly" in a way we can apply. One mistaken notice is not, by itself, that finding.

7. Previews you want removed

If a preview shows your business and you want it gone, use our contact form with the preview address. You do not have to use the copyright form for that request. Say you want the preview taken down. We will remove it.
