We respect intellectual property rights and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512). This policy explains how to submit a copyright infringement notice and how to send a counter-notification.

1) Designated point of contact

Send all DMCA notices and counter-notices to: support@ToneMethod.com.

2) How to submit a proper DMCA notice (takedown notice)

To request removal or disablement of allegedly infringing material, your notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
  3. Identification of the material to be removed or disabled, with specific URLs or information sufficient to locate it on our site.
  4. Your contact information (full name, organization if any, email, and phone; a postal address is helpful for service of process).
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
  7. The action you request (for example, removal or disabling access).

Send to support@ToneMethod.com with the subject line: DMCA Notice – [Your Work/Reference].

What happens next. We will acknowledge receipt by email, review the submission, and may remove or disable access to the material. We will notify the user/uploader if applicable and may request additional information if the notice is incomplete.

Misrepresentation warning (17 U.S.C. §512(f)). You may be liable for damages and attorneys’ fees if you knowingly misrepresent that content is infringing.

3) Counter-notification (to restore removed content)

If your material was removed or access was disabled and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, your counter-notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location (URL) where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled due to mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, phone number, and email.
  5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for your address (or any district where we may be found if you are outside the U.S.) and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant.

Send to support@ToneMethod.com with the subject line: DMCA Counter-Notice – [Reference].

After we receive a valid counter-notice. We will forward it to the original complainant. Unless they notify us within 10–14 business days that they have filed a court action to restrain your use, we may restore the material at our discretion.

4) Repeat-infringer policy

We may suspend or terminate access for users or partners who are determined, in our reasonable discretion, to be repeat infringers. We may also remove individual items without terminating an account.

5) What the DMCA does not cover

Do not use the DMCA process for trademark disputes, defamation, privacy, contract issues, or counterfeit/consumer-protection complaints. Report those through the appropriate legal channels or to the relevant platform.

6) Third-party hosting and links

Some content (for example, images, videos, scripts, or offer pages) may be hosted by third parties such as CDNs, ad networks, affiliate programs, or media hosts. If the infringement is on a third-party host, you may also need to notify that provider directly.

7) Non-U.S. claimants

We accept notices from rights-holders worldwide. If your claim arises outside the U.S., follow the same format. Where local law requires different wording, include both your local-law statement and the DMCA statements above.

8) Privacy and disclosure

We may share copies of notices, counter-notices, and related correspondence with the affected user, hosting providers, and applicable authorities. By submitting a notice, you consent to this disclosure.

9) Changes to this policy

We may update this DMCA Policy from time to time. The effective date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
