DMCA Notice and
Takedown Procedure

HostPapa supports the protection of intellectual property and asks our customers to do the same. It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office website, www.copyright.gov.

It is expected that all HostPapa customers will comply with applicable copyright laws. If, however, we receive proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, our response to such notices will include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating the customer's account.

Please use the following form to report content hosted by HostPapa that you believe violates or infringes your copyright. Should you wish not to use our online form, please provide all of the information requested below in a written communication and send it to our designated agent at the address below. In order to be effective, any such notification must include a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive copyright right that is allegedly infringed and must include a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that material is infringing your copyright(s). Accordingly, if you are not sure if you are the proper copyright holder or if copyright laws protect the material, we suggest that you first contact a lawyer.

How to file a Counter-Notice

The provider of the allegedly infringing content may make a counter notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the US Copyright Act.

To file a counter notification with us, you must provide a written communication (by either responding to the DMCA takedown notice email we sent you or through regular mail) that sets out the information specified in the list below. Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is not infringing the copyrights of others or that the material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others or that the material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, we suggest that you first contact a lawyer.

To help us process your request, please provide the following information:

  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 access to it was disabled.
  2. Your name, address, and telephone number.
