What happens next

Takedown

Providing that your complaint is legally valid, we aim to process it within 7 working days (excluding complaints received by post, see above).

We will then remove the relevant content, and notify the alleged infringer about the complaint. For severe cases, we may suspend their ability to access our systems. The takedown notice will be made available to the alleged infringer for review.

Appeal

The alleged infringer then has the right to appeal against this decision (counter-notice).

Information on how to file a counter-notice can be found here.

In order to protect copyright holders, if we believe that a counter-notice may be fraudulently filed, we may take steps to verify the provided information before accepting the counter-notice.

In the event that the alleged infringer successfully files a counter-notice with us, we will restore the infringing content. We will then notify the claimant that this has happened, and all information provided by the counter-notice will be made available to the original claimant.
