Only DMCA notices mailed to the address above or emailed to [email protected] will be accepted. All other inquiries or requests will be discarded. Upon receiving a DMCA notification or complaint related to copyright infringement, FilterGrade may remove the content identified as being infringing, as long as we receive all of the required information for a DMCA request, and we are able to verify the validity of the request. In addition, FilterGrade may terminate the Account of the user that appears to be the infringer.

If the Recipient of a DMCA Takedown (“Notice”) believes that the Notice is erroneous or false, and/or that allegedly infringing material has been wrongly removed in accordance with the procedures outlined above, the Recipient is permitted to submit a counter-notification pursuant to Section 512(g)(2)&(3) of the DMCA. A counter-notification is the proper method for the Recipient to dispute the removal or disabling of material pursuant to a Notice. The information that a Recipient provides in a counter-notification must be accurate and truthful, and the Recipient will be liable for any misrepresentations which may cause any claims to be brought against FilterGrade relating to the actions taken in response to the counter-notification. This counter-notification will be forwarded to the original party that submitted the DMCA claim. If we have not received notice (within 14 days) that the original claimant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the Recipient from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on FilterGrade’s system or network, we will re-instate the content.
