DMCA Notice

If You Believe Your Copyright Has Been Infringed

If you believe that content posted on manchotsleep.com (including a product review, comment, image, a submission from a business, trade, dealer, or affiliate partner displayed on our website, or any other user submission) infringes a copyright you own or are authorized in writing to act on behalf of, you may send Manchot a written DMCA takedown notice. An agent submitting a notice for a rights holder must be able to produce the underlying written authorization on request.

We will review and respond to valid notices promptly.

What a Valid DMCA Notice Must Include

To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include all six of the following (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)):

1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works at a single site are covered, a representative list will work.
2. Identification of the infringing material with enough detail for us to locate it. Include the URL(s) where the material appears.
3. Your contact information — full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A good-faith statement that you believe the use of the material is not authorized. Use this language:
   "I have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material described above is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
5. A statement of accuracy and authority made under penalty of perjury. Use this language:
   "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Notices that do not include all six items are not effective under the DMCA and will not trigger Manchot's takedown obligations.

Where to Send a DMCA Notice

Send your notice to our Designated Copyright Agent, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office:

What We Do When We Receive a Valid Notice

When we receive a complete and valid DMCA notice, we will:

1. Expeditiously remove or disable access to the material identified
2. Notify the user who submitted the material that it has been removed
3. Provide that user with a copy of your DMCA notice (with your contact information, so they can respond if they choose to file a Counter-Notice)

We do not investigate or judge the underlying copyright claim. If the user submits a valid Counter-Notice and you do not file a court action within 10–14 business days, we may restore the material.

False or Misleading Notices

If you are not sure whether your claim qualifies as copyright infringement, please consult an attorney before filing a notice.

Counter-Notice — If Your Content Was Removed

If you submitted content that was removed under a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or the result of misidentification, you can file a Counter-Notice.

To be valid under the DMCA, a Counter-Notice must include all six of the following (17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3)):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal (URL or specific reference).
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake:
   "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled."
4. Your full name, mailing address, and telephone number.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal court:
   "I consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the [district where I live, or if outside the U.S., the Northern District of Georgia], and I will accept service of process from the person who submitted the DMCA notice or their agent."
6. Your statement that the information in your Counter-Notice is accurate.

Send your Counter-Notice to legal@manchotsleep.com or the mailing address in Section 3. Use subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice." If the original claimant does not file a lawsuit against you within 10 to 14 business days, we may restore the removed material.

Repeat Infringers

Manchot maintains and reasonably implements a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. Manchot generally treats a user as a repeat infringer after three (3) separate valid DMCA notices have been received against that user's submissions within any twelve (12) month period, but Manchot may terminate sooner where the conduct warrants.

This policy applies equally to consumer accounts and to business, trade, dealer, and affiliate accounts. Repeat infringement by a business partner may additionally result in termination of the applicable partner or dealer agreement.
