DMCA Takedown Notice Procedure

Last Updated: March 13, 2026

​

Notification of claimed copyright infringement

​

If you believe that any content available on or through this website infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice of claimed infringement pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by sending a written notification to the designated contact listed below.

​

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

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the allegedly infringed copyright.

2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on this site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.

3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or to which access is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit me to locate the material (for example, a specific URL or clear description of where it appears on the site).

4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit me to contact you, such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

5. A statement that you have a good‑faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

 

You may send your DMCA notice to:

 

DMCA Agent / Copyright Contact
Name: Kristina Manuel
Website: kristinamanuel.com
Contact: via the Contact Me page
(Please include “DMCA Notice” in the subject line.)

 

Removal of allegedly infringing material

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, I may:

• Remove or disable access to the material that is alleged to be infringing.

• Take reasonable steps to notify the user or party who posted the material that it has been removed or disabled.

 

In appropriate circumstances and in my sole discretion, I may also restrict or terminate access to the site for users who are repeat infringers.

 

Counter‑notification procedure

If material you posted has been removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notice and you believe that such removal or disabling was a mistake or that you have the right to use the material, you may send a DMCA counter‑notification.

​

To be effective, your counter‑notification must include all of the following (as required by 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3)):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.

2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled (for example, the exact URL).

3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good‑faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

4. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if you are outside the United States, for any judicial district in which I may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or an agent of that person.

 

Send your counter‑notification to the same DMCA contact listed above, clearly labeled “DMCA Counter‑Notification.”

 

Restoration of material

If a valid counter‑notification is received, I may:

• Forward a copy of the counter‑notification to the original complaining party; and

• Inform that party that the removed material may be restored or access to it may be re‑enabled within 10–14 business days.

Unless the copyright owner notifies me that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material, I may restore the removed material or re‑enable access to it within a reasonable timeframe.

 

Misrepresentations

Under the DMCA, any person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice of infringement or counter‑notification may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, copyright owner, or service provider. You should consult with legal counsel before submitting a DMCA notice or counter‑notification if you are unsure about your rights.
