ArcForge respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the ArcForge service that are reported to our designated copyright agent.
This policy is part of our commitment to protecting intellectual property rights and supplements our Terms of Service, which prohibit users from creating, inputting, or attempting to recreate copyrighted or trademarked content.
Our designated agent for receiving notifications of claimed copyright infringement can be reached at:
If you believe that content available on or through ArcForge infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notification to our Designated Agent. Under the DMCA, your notification must include all of the following:
Warning: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
If you believe that material you posted was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification. Your counter-notification must include:
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward a copy to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within ten (10) business days that they have filed a court action, we will restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days.
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also limit access to the Service or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is repeat infringement.
Upon receiving a valid DMCA notification, we will:
We accommodate and do not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted works, as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(2).
We reserve the right to modify this DMCA Policy at any time. Changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new policy.
