DMCA Policy
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") Policy applies to CharCounterPro.com ("we," "us," or "our") and our website CharCounterPro.com (the "Service"). CharCounterPro.com respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the DMCA, we will respond expeditiously to notices of alleged copyright infringement that are properly provided to us.
1. Notification of Copyright Infringement
If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content on our Service infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a written notification ("DMCA Notice") to our designated Copyright Agent with the following information required by the DMCA (17 U.S.C. ยง 512(c)(3)):
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., a URL to the specific content on our site). Please be as specific as possible.
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted (e.g., policy@charcounterpro.com).
- A statement that the complaining party has 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 notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Our Designated Copyright Agent
Please send your DMCA Notice, containing all the information detailed above, to our designated Copyright Agent:
Via Email: policy@charcounterpro.com
(Subject Line: DMCA Notice - Copyright Infringement)
Important Note: Do not send other inquiries (e.g., technical support, general questions) to the DMCA Copyright Agent. Improperly submitted notifications or notifications that do not comply with the DMCA may not be processed. For general inquiries, please use info@charcounterpro.com or contact@charcounterpro.com.
3. Counter-Notification Procedure
If you believe that the material you posted on the Service was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification ("Counter-Notice") with our Copyright Agent. Your Counter-Notice must include the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
- 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
- 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 the address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which CharCounterPro.com may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA Notice or an agent of such person.
Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notice, we may send a copy to the original complaining party informing them that we may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the Counter-Notice, at our sole discretion.
4. Repeat Infringer Policy
CharCounterPro.com reserves the right to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright. We also reserve the right to remove access to the Service for any users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
5. Disclaimer Regarding User Inputted Text
As explicitly stated in our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, CharCounterPro.com does not store, save, or retain any of the text that users input into our character and word counter tool. The analysis of text happens entirely in the user's browser, and no user-submitted text is transmitted to or stored on our servers. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that copyrighted material would reside on our servers in a manner that could be subject to a DMCA takedown.
This DMCA policy primarily addresses scenarios where copyrighted material might inadvertently appear on other parts of our Service (e.g., through user comments on blog posts if such features were enabled, or through other forms of content directly hosted by us). While we do not anticipate DMCA claims related to the core functionality of our character counting tool due to its non-storage policy, we maintain this policy to uphold copyright law and protect intellectual property rights across all potential aspects of our Service.
6. Changes to This DMCA Policy
We may update our DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new DMCA Policy on this page. You are advised to review this DMCA Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this DMCA Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
