DMCA

Signature Generator respects the intellectual property of others and expects visitors to do the same. Below you will find how to send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512) and what happens next.

Submitting a DMCA notice

A notice must be in writing and include the following six elements:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of someone authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers several works.
3. Information that lets us locate the material you object to, such as the exact URL of each page on generator-signature.com.
4. Contact information so we can reach you, including your address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its 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

Send notices by email to [email protected], with “DMCA notice” in the subject line. Valid notices are acted on promptly: the material is taken down or made inaccessible, and we confirm this to you. If something is missing, we may ask you for it before we can act.

Counter-notification

Anyone whose material was removed by mistake or misidentification may send a counter-notice to the same email address, containing:

• a physical or electronic signature;
• a description of the removed material and the location where it appeared;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address and telephone number, together with your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or any judicial district where the service provider may be found, if you are outside the United States) and your agreement to accept service of process from the complainant.

After a valid counter-notice, the material may be restored in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days, unless the original complainant tells us they have filed a court action.

Policy on repeat infringers

generator-signature.com has no user accounts or uploads, but where it applies, we will, in appropriate circumstances, cut off access for anyone who repeatedly infringes copyright.

A note on false notices

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. If you are unsure whether a use is infringing, for example because it may be fair use, consider seeking legal advice before you send a notice.
