DMCA Copyright Policy

CreativePuns.com respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users and contributors to do the same. If you believe that content posted on our website infringes your copyright, this page explains how to submit a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice and what to expect once you do. Similarly, if you believe that content you posted or submitted to CreativePuns.com was removed in error, this policy outlines how to submit a counter‑notification.

What Is the DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States law that provides a safe harbor for online service providers when they promptly address copyright infringement claims. By complying with the DMCA, CreativePuns.com is able to operate as a platform for user‑generated content while protecting the rights of copyright owners.

Submitting a Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent acting on behalf of a copyright owner and you believe that content on CreativePuns.com infringes your copyright, you may file a DMCA takedown notice. Your notice must include the following information (as required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)):

1. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. Please provide enough detail for us to identify the protected work—such as a link to the original content or a description.

2. Identification of the infringing material on CreativePuns.com. Include the precise URL or a description of where the allegedly infringing content is located.

3. Your contact information, including your full name, address, telephone number and an email address where we may reach you.

4. A statement of good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.

5. A statement of accuracy that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Please send your DMCA notice to our designated agent at:

Email: [email protected]
Phone: (831) 688‑2775
Mail: CreativePuns.com – DMCA Agent, 16 Rancho Del Mar, Aptos, California 95003, United States

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and notify the user who posted it. We will also forward your notice to that user so they have an opportunity to respond.

Counter‑Notification

If you receive a notice that content you posted has been removed in response to a DMCA takedown request and you believe the removal was in error or that you have authorization to use the material, you may submit a counter‑notification pursuant to 17 U.S.C. §512(g). Your counter‑notification must include:

1. 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 disabled.

2. Your name, address and telephone number.

3. 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.

4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in the judicial district of your address, or, if your address is outside the United States, that you consent to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which CreativePuns.com may be found. You must also agree to accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice or their agent.

5. Your physical or electronic signature.

Please send your counter‑notification to the same contact information listed above for our DMCA agent.

Upon receiving a valid counter‑notification, we will forward it to the original complainant and inform them that we may restore the removed material after 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order to keep the material down, we may restore the content at our discretion after that period.

Repeat Infringers

CreativePuns.com may terminate access to our services for users who are found to be repeat infringers. We reserve the right to take this action at our sole discretion and without prior notice.

No Legal Advice
