DMCA Notice and Takedown

LinkPay respects copyright and responds to notices of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512. This page explains how to send a notice, how to respond to one, and what happens to repeat infringers.

If your complaint is not about copyright — for example content that shows you without your consent, or that breaches our Acceptable Use Policy — use the routes in Content Moderation, Reporting and Removal instead. They are faster for those cases.

Send copyright notices to our designated agent:

[Designated Agent Name]
[Company Legal Name]
Attn: Copyright Agent
[registered address]
[dmca@linkpay.co]

[⚠ Not yet in force. The agent above must be named and registered with the U.S. Copyright Office before this notice functions — registration is a statutory condition of the safe harbor under § 512(c)(2).]

To be effective under § 512(c)(3), your notice must be in writing and must include all of the following:

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 you say has been infringed — or, if several works are covered by one notice, a representative list of them;
3. identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it. A URL is the most useful thing you can give us;
4. your name, address, telephone number and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use 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 authorized to act on their behalf.

Please be accurate. Under § 512(f), anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation that material is infringing can be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, incurred by us or by the person who posted it.

On receiving an effective notice, we will remove or disable access to the material and notify the person who posted it, passing on your notice.

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, or that the use was authorized or lawful, you may send a counter notification. It must include:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material that was removed, and the location it appeared at before removal;
3. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed 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 district where your address is — or, if you are outside the United States, for any district in which we may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice, or their agent.

We will forward your counter notification to the original complainant. If they do not notify us within ten business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, we may restore the material.

The same accuracy warning applies in reverse: § 512(f) covers material misrepresentations that content was removed by mistake.

We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. We keep a record of notices received and acted on, and an account that accumulates them will be closed — whether or not each individual notice was contested. Termination for repeat infringement does not extinguish a seller’s obligations for refunds and chargebacks, or a buyer’s access to lawful content they already paid for.

If your own work is being sold on LinkPay by someone else, send us a notice as above and we will act on it. We do not act as your agent for infringement elsewhere on the internet, and we do not pursue third parties on your behalf — that is yours to do, or your lawyer’s. We will help with what we hold about a listing when a court or a valid legal process requires it.
