Contenized provides the following DMCA Takedown Policy. This policy applies in case of copyright infringement by content published on Contenized.

The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is a copyright law of the United States of America that exempts digital service providers who authorize users to post content from liability for copyright infringement, provided that the content affected by the copyright infringement is removed immediately upon becoming aware of the infringement.

The author may send a written complaint by e-mail to support@contenized.com in case of suspected infringement of his/her intellectual property rights in accordance with the copyright laws. For this purpose, the following information is required from the author.

  5. a statement by the author that he or she has a good faith belief that use or disclosure of the copyrighted content is not authorized by the author, his or her agent, or the law
  6. a statement under penalty of perjury that the information provided in the complaint is accurate and that the sender of the complaint is the copyright owner or an authorized agent on the copyright owner's behalf

The author or its authorized representative shall be liable for any costs incurred in removing or blocking the allegedly protected content if the information provided is false.

Counter-notices to reported copyright infringements

The recipient of the copyright complaint may send a counter notification to the reported copyright infringement in writing by e-mail to support@contenized.com. For this purpose, the following information is required from the recipient of the copyright complaint.
