DMCA & Copyright Policy

1. How to submit a takedown notice

If you believe material on the platform infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, send a written notice to our designated agent (Section 2) or use the report form on this page (Section 7). To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include substantially all of the following:

• •A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
• •Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works at a single site are covered by one notice, a representative list of those works).
• •Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it — a direct URL to the image or page on the relevant Shop Site is best.
• •Your contact information: 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 that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Notices that are materially incomplete may not be actionable; if we can, we will tell you what is missing. Please consider whether the use might be a fair use or otherwise authorized before filing — Section 6 explains the consequences of knowing misrepresentations.

2. Designated agent

Our designated agent for copyright notices under 17 U.S.C. § 512 is:

3. What happens after we receive a notice

• •Review: we review the notice for completeness under Section 1 and log it (including the reporter’s contact details and the IP address from which it was submitted).
• •Removal: if the notice is valid, we expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material across the platform, including the relevant Shop Site.
• •Notification to the shop: we promptly notify the shop that uploaded the material that a takedown notice has been received against it, and provide a copy or summary of the notice (which may include the complainant’s name and the information required for a counter-notice).
• •Strike: the takedown is recorded against the uploading account for purposes of our repeat-infringer policy (Section 5).

We may also, at our discretion, remove material on our own initiative when we become aware of facts making infringement apparent.

4. Counter-notices

If your material was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or that the material was misidentified, you may send our designated agent a written counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). It must include:

• •Your physical or electronic signature.
• •Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
• •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.
• •Your name, 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 outside the United States, any judicial district in which FetchMy.art may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.

On receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within 10 business days that it has filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, we may restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice, as the DMCA provides.

5. Repeat infringers

We maintain and enforce a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. Takedowns are tracked per account; accounts that accumulate multiple valid, uncontested takedown notices — or that we determine are engaged in systematic infringement — will have uploading privileges restricted or their accounts and Shop Sites terminated. We may also decline fulfillment orders for designs subject to unresolved copyright disputes.

6. Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages — including costs and attorneys’ fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner or its licensee, or by us. Do not submit false or bad-faith notices or counter-notices.

7. Report an image on this page

Anyone — you do not need a FetchMy.art account — can flag an image or design for DMCA review using the form below. The form walks you through the required elements of a takedown notice (Section 1) and submits it directly to our designated agent. We log the submission time and the IP address it was submitted from, and handle it as described in Section 3.

Prefer email? Send your notice — with all the elements listed in Section 1 — to dmca@fetchmy.art.

8. Other intellectual-property complaints

This policy covers copyright. For trademark, publicity/likeness, or other intellectual-property complaints, email legal@fetchmy.art with the same kinds of identifying detail (the material at issue, a direct URL, the right you hold, and your contact information), and see our Acceptable Use Policy. Nothing in this page is legal advice; if you are unsure of your rights, consult an attorney.
