DMCA policy

We take copyright seriously at generator-citation.com, both our own and that of others. This page explains how to report material on generator-citation.com that you believe infringes your copyright, in line with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512).

Filing a copyright notice

To be effective, your written notice needs to contain all of the following:

1. Your signature, physical or electronic, as the owner or as a person authorised to act for the owner.
2. The copyrighted work concerned, identified clearly, or a representative list where the notice covers multiple works.
3. Information that lets us locate the material you object to, such as the exact URL of each page on generator-citation.com.
4. Your contact details: name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
5. Your good-faith statement that the use complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, an agent or the law.
6. A declaration that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner.

Sending your notice

Send notices by email to [email protected], with “DMCA notice” in the subject line. We review notices promptly. When a notice is complete and valid, we remove or disable access to the material and let you know. If something is missing, we may ask you for it before we can act.

Counter-notices

If you believe material was removed in error, you can respond with a counter-notice to [email protected] that includes:

• your signature, physical or electronic;
• identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address and telephone number, together with your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or any judicial district where the service provider may be found, if you are outside the United States) and your agreement to accept service of process from the complainant.

After a valid counter-notice, the material may be restored in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days, unless the original complainant tells us they have filed a court action.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. If you are unsure whether a use is infringing, for example because it may be fair use, consider seeking legal advice before you send a notice.

Repeat infringers

generator-citation.com has no user accounts or uploads, but where it applies, we will, in appropriate circumstances, cut off access for anyone who repeatedly infringes copyright.
