Appealing DMCA Notice

If a picture, video, or writing was taken down by us due to a DMCA notice please send us a DMCA counter-notice or fill out the following DMCA counter-notice and forward it to [email protected].

I certify that I have the right to post the removed content. Each of those works was removed in error, and I believe my posting them does not infringe on anyone else's rights. Find my proof attached.

I consent to be served by the person who gave notice to FetLife, or his agent.

My contact information is as follows:

[Legal Name]

[Street Address, City, State/Province, Zip/Postal Code]

[Phone Number]

[Email Address]

FetLife Nickname: [FetLife nickname]

Link to Profile: [link to profile]

I understand that I am declaring the above under penalty of perjury, meaning that if I am not telling the truth, I may be committing a crime.

Signed: [Legal Name] on [Date]

What happens after a Counter-DMCA is filed?

Once a counter-DMCA is filed, FetLife will exchange the original DMCA and the counter-DMCA between the involved parties. The parties will then have to resolve the matter in court. If we are not contacted with a court order in favor of the content's removal, we will be legally obliged to restore the content in 7 days.

If you have any questions about the process, please don't hesitate to email us at [email protected].
