DMCA Notice & Takedown

Effective 2026-06-04

AltaClario respects the intellectual-property rights of others and responds to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 USC §512).

1. Designated Agent

AltaClario’s designated agent to receive DMCA notifications is:

This agent is registered with the US Copyright Office’s Designated Agent Directory at dmca.copyright.gov. The directory is the legal source of truth; if any detail above disagrees with the directory entry, the directory entry controls.

2. How to submit a notice

The fastest way is to use our abuse-report form and choose “DMCA / copyright takedown” — the form collects every element required by 17 USC §512(c)(3)(A). You may also email the agent directly. A valid notice must include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works are covered by a single notification).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (a URL is best).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you (address, telephone number, and email).
5. 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.
6. A statement that the information in the notification 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.

Knowingly material misrepresentations in a notice expose the sender to liability for damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees under 17 USC §512(f). Please be certain before filing.

3. What happens after we receive a valid notice

We will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified. We will notify the user who posted the material and forward your notice (including your contact details) so they may file a counter-notice if appropriate.

4. Counter-notice procedure

If you believe material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the designated agent. A valid counter-notice must include:

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 at which it appeared before it was removed.
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, 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, for any judicial district in which AltaClario may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of that person.

Upon receipt of a compliant counter-notice we may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant first files an action seeking a court order against the user.

5. Repeat-infringer policy

It is AltaClario’s policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, to disable accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright. We maintain an internal log of DMCA notices received and counter-notices, and accounts that accumulate multiple uncontested or upheld notices within a rolling twelve-month window will be terminated. See our Terms of Service for the broader termination policy.

Non-legal questions about this policy can also be sent to rick@rickpollick.com. Formal DMCA notices must be addressed to the designated agent above.
