DMCA / Copyright Policy

If you believe a SudoSell listing infringes your copyright, send a written notice that includes:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
2. Identification of the infringing material with enough detail for us to locate it (the SudoSell URL, product slug, or seller name).
3. Your contact information: full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. Good-faith statement:“I have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”
5. Accuracy and authority statement:“The information in this notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.”
6. Physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.

File the notice through the DMCA notice form. The form captures every required element above and time-stamps the submission for audit. Notices missing required elements will be returned with a request to correct.

• Disable access to the allegedly infringing listing or release.
• Notify the seller of the takedown and forward a copy of your notice (with personal contact info redacted on request).
• Track the notice for repeat-infringer purposes.
• Terminate the account of any user found to be a repeat infringer.

If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice including:

1. Identification of the material that was removed and the URL where it appeared before removal.
2. Statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
3. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, plus consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the U.S., the jurisdictional district where SudoSell is registered).
4. Statement that you will accept service of process from the original notice-sender.
5. Physical or electronic signature.

On a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the original claimant. If they do not file an action seeking a court order within 10–14 business days, we may restore the listing.

U.S. copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)) imposes liability on anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing. False notices may make the sender liable for damages, court costs, and attorney’s fees.

Sellers who accumulate three or more valid takedown notices within a rolling 12-month period have their accounts terminated and are permanently banned from re-registering as sellers. We may apply a shorter threshold to severe cases (e.g. a single notice for large-scale piracy of commercial software).

For DMCA purposes, our designated copyright agent receives notices submitted through the DMCA form. A registered postal address is available on request to bona-fide rights holders preparing a formal filing.
