DMCA NOTICE & COUNTER-NOTICE PROCEDURE

Last Updated: 2026-08-07

Vendalize LLC ("Vendalize") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Vendalize platform (the "Platform") to do the same. This page describes how to submit a notice of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), and how to submit a counter-notice in response. Capitalized terms used but not defined here have the meanings given in the Vendalize Terms of Service.

1. Designated Agent for Notices of Claimed Infringement

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2), Vendalize has designated the following agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement appearing on the Platform:

Designated Agent: Vendalize Compliance Department Service Provider: Vendalize LLC Mailing Address: 3300 N. Triumph Boulevard, Suite 100 – #1014, Lehi, UT 84043 Email: dmca@vendalize.space Phone: (208) 412-2850 U.S. Copyright Office Registration No.: DMCA-1074568

This designation is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory and is available for verification at https://www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory/.

2. How to Submit a Notice of Claimed Infringement

If you believe in good faith that material on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notice to the Designated Agent listed in Section 1 above. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the owner, or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or to which access is to be disabled, with information reasonably sufficient to permit Vendalize to locate the material (such as the URL or other specific location on the Platform where the material appears).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Vendalize to contact you, including your address, telephone number, and (if available) email address.
  5. A statement that you 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.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

An incomplete notice may delay or prevent action on your claim. Notices that do not substantially comply with Section 512(c)(3) may be disregarded.

False claims. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under this section that material or activity is infringing may be liable for damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or by Vendalize.

3. Vendalize's Response to a Properly Submitted Notice

Upon receipt of a notice that complies with Section 2, Vendalize will:

  • Remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing
  • Take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material that it has been removed or disabled
  • Provide that user with a copy of the notice received, with personal contact information of the complainant redacted as appropriate
  • Inform the user of their right to submit a counter-notice under Section 4

Vendalize is not obligated to evaluate the merits of any claim of infringement and does not act as a judge of competing claims between copyright owners and users. Vendalize acts in reliance on the statements made in a properly submitted notice and on its own reasonable interpretation of those statements.

4. How to Submit a Counter-Notice

If your material has been removed or access to it disabled in response to a DMCA notice, and you believe in good faith that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the Designated Agent listed in Section 1 above. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), your counter-notice must include all of the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. 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 access to it was disabled.
  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. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Vendalize may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice under Section 2 or an agent of that person.

False claims. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under this section that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be liable for damages.

5. Vendalize's Response to a Counter-Notice

Upon receipt of a counter-notice that complies with Section 4, Vendalize will:

  • Promptly forward a copy of the counter-notice to the original complainant
  • Inform the original complainant that Vendalize will restore or re-enable access to the material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days following receipt of the counter-notice
  • Restore or re-enable access to the material within that 10-to-14-business-day window, unless the Designated Agent first receives notice from the original complainant that the complainant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity related to the material

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Vendalize has adopted and reasonably implements a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are determined, in Vendalize's reasonable discretion, to be repeat infringers. A user who is the subject of multiple notices of claimed infringement, or who otherwise demonstrates a pattern of infringing activity, may have their account suspended or terminated without prior notice. This policy applies in addition to, and not in lieu of, the platform-level enforcement provisions of the Vendalize Terms of Service.
