DMCA Takedown Policy

IP Cow respects the intellectual property of others and asks our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), we will respond promptly to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement relating to material hosted on our infrastructure.

IP Cow is primarily a set of network diagnostic tools and hosts very little third-party content, but this policy applies to anything we host. If you believe your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes infringement, please send a notice to our designated agent with the information below.

Filing a DMCA notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your written notice must include substantially the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — ideally the exact URL(s) on an IP Cow domain.
• Your contact information: name, address, telephone number and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

Designated agent

Send notices to our designated agent at [email protected]. To help us act quickly, use the subject line “DMCA Takedown Notice”. Notices that are incomplete may delay our response.

Counter-notification

If you believe material you posted was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to [email protected]. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) it must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed and the location 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, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which IP Cow may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice or their agent.

Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, we will disable or terminate access for users who are determined to be repeat infringers.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages. Please be sure your claim is valid before submitting a notice or counter-notice.
