DMCA Policy

Cuttlefish Readsis in compliance with 17 U.S.C. § 512 and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). It is our policy to respond to any infringement notices and take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and other applicable intellectual property laws.

If your copyrighted material has been posted on www.cuttlefishreads.com or if links to your copyrighted material are returned through our search engine and you want this material removed, you must provide a written communication that details the information listed in the following section.

To be effective, your written notice must include all of the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive copyright that is allegedly infringed.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or — if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification — a representative list of such works.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, including information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (for example, the exact URL(s) on www.cuttlefishreads.com where the material appears).
• Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please send DMCA takedown notices to our designated copyright agent:

• Email: dmca@www.cuttlefishreads.com
• Subject line: DMCA Takedown Notice

We may also be reached through our Discord community for general inquiries, but formal takedown requests should be sent by email so we can respond promptly and maintain a record of your notice.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we will review the claim and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the material identified as infringing. We may notify the user who posted the material and, when required by law, provide them with a copy of your notice (excluding personal contact details where permitted).

Please note that submitting a false or bad-faith takedown notice may result in legal liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

If you believe material you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to dmca@www.cuttlefishreads.com that includes:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which Cuttlefish Reads may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA notice.

In appropriate circumstances, we may terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright or other intellectual property rights.
