DMCA Policy
Last updated: 27 May 2026
novaverb respects the intellectual-property rights of others. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and equivalent regimes worldwide.
1. Filing a takedown notice
If you believe content hosted on a domain served by novaverb infringes your copyright, send a written notice to contact@novaverb.com with the subject line DMCA Notice.
Your notice must include all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner (or an authorized agent)
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (title, registration number if any, or representative list if multiple works)
- Identification of the allegedly infringing material with sufficient detail to locate it (full URL preferred)
- Your contact information — physical address, telephone number, email
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and you are the owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner
Incomplete notices may be rejected without action. Notices submitted in bad faith or with knowingly false statements may subject you to liability for damages under §512(f).
2. Our response
Upon receipt of a valid notice, novaverb will:
- Acknowledge receipt within 2 business days
- Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material expeditiously (typically within 5 business days)
- Notify the user who posted the material that it has been removed
- Record the notice in our internal incident log for compliance audit
3. Filing a counter-notice
If you believe your material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the same email with the subject line DMCA Counter-Notice.
Your counter-notice must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature
- Identification of the material that was removed + the URL where it previously appeared
- 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, physical address, and telephone number
- A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for your federal judicial district (or, if you are outside the U.S., for any judicial district in which novaverb operates), and to accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within 10–14 business days, we will restore the removed material.
4. Repeat-infringer policy
It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances, to terminate accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We use the following thresholds as guidance (not absolute):
- 3 valid takedown notices in 90 days → 7-day suspension of the workspace
- 5 valid takedown notices in 12 months → permanent account termination
We may apply discretion based on context (severity of the infringement, whether it appears intentional, whether the user cooperates with remediation).
5. Safe harbor
novaverb is a service provider as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 512(k)(1)(B). We do not pre-screen user-uploaded content and rely on this notice-and-takedown procedure to address claims of infringement.
6. Designated agent
For DMCA notices specifically, our designated agent is:
- Name: novaverb DMCA Agent
- Email: contact@novaverb.com
- Postal address: (to be filed with the U.S. Copyright Office once business address is finalized)
