Copyright

We take copyright seriously at converter-unit.com, both our own and that of others. This page explains how to report material on converter-unit.com that you believe infringes your copyright, in line with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512).

How to report infringement

Please make sure your notice includes each of these elements, as required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3):

1. Your signature, physical or electronic, as the owner or as a person authorised to act for the owner.
2. A description of the copyrighted work that you claim is infringed (for several works, a representative list is enough).
3. Information that lets us locate the material you object to, such as the exact URL of each page on converter-unit.com.
4. Contact information so we can reach you, including your address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the owner, the owner's agent or the law.
6. A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you own the right or are authorised to act for the owner.

Where to send notices

Please email your notice to [email protected] and put “DMCA notice” in the subject. Valid notices are acted on promptly: the material is taken down or made inaccessible, and we confirm this to you. A notice missing any of the elements above may not be actionable, so please check it carefully.

Responding to a removal

If you believe material was removed in error, you can respond with a counter-notice to [email protected] that includes:

• your signature, physical or electronic;
• the material that was taken down and its location before removal;
• your statement, under penalty of perjury, of a good-faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address and phone number, your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, outside the United States, of any judicial district where the service provider may be found), and your agreement to accept service of process from the person who filed the notice.

Following a valid counter-notice, the material can be put back after 10 to 14 business days, unless we hear that the complainant has started legal proceedings.

Repeat infringement

In appropriate circumstances, anyone found to infringe copyright repeatedly will lose access to the site, even though converter-unit.com has no user accounts.

Before you file

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. When in doubt, for instance where fair use may apply, consider talking to a lawyer before filing.
