Overview & Safe Harbor Statement
Inkgility respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. As an online service provider, we operate under the safe-harbor provisions of the DMCA and respond promptly to valid notices of copyright infringement.
This policy explains how rights holders can submit a takedown notice, how alleged infringers may file a counter-notice, our designated DMCA agent contact, and the consequences for repeat infringers.
02
How to File a DMCA Notice
If you are a copyright owner (or authorized agent) and believe content on inkgility.com or in an order placed through our service infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our designated DMCA agent (see Section 4). The notice must comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) and include all elements listed in Section 3 below.
You may send your notice by email (preferred), by certified mail, or via the form at report-copyright.html. We typically acknowledge receipt within 1 business day and act on valid notices within 3 business days.
03
Required Elements of a DMCA Notice
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a valid DMCA notice must contain substantially the following:
- Signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed (a typed name accompanying an electronic submission is acceptable).
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g., title, registration number if any, URL to original).
- Identification of the allegedly infringing material with enough detail for us to locate it (URL on inkgility.com, order ID, listing ID, partner storefront URL, etc.).
- Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement of good faith: "I 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 of accuracy: "The information in this notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am the owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."
Incomplete notices may delay our response. Please double-check each element before submitting. Knowingly false notices may result in liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

Counter-Notice Process
If you believe your content was removed in error or as a result of misidentification, you may file a counter-notice. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), your counter-notice must contain:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the US, any judicial district in which Inkgility may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice.
Send counter-notices to our DMCA agent at the address above. Upon receipt, we will forward a copy to the original complainant. Unless the complainant files an action seeking a court order against you within 10 business days, we will typically restore the removed content within 10–14 business days.
06
Repeat-Infringer Policy
Inkgility maintains and enforces a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. Specifically:
- A first valid takedown affecting an account results in a warning and removal of the content.
- A second valid takedown within 12 months results in a 30-day suspension of the account.
- A third valid takedown within 12 months — or any deliberate, severe infringement — results in permanent termination of the account.
- Partner storefronts and API integrations have stricter limits because of their amplification potential; two valid takedowns may result in immediate termination of the partner relationship.

Trademark & Other IP Concerns
The DMCA covers copyright only. For trademark, right-of-publicity, or design-patent concerns, please email legal@inkgility.com with the same level of detail (signed statement, identification of the protected mark, identification of the allegedly infringing use, your contact information). We treat valid trademark complaints with the same urgency as DMCA notices, even though they are governed by different law.
