DMCA & Copyright Policy

ProposalForge respects copyright. We respond to notices that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512) and we remove infringing content. We may also act on equivalent notices under the EU Directive (EU) 2019/790.

Counter-notice

If you receive a takedown notice that you believe is mistaken or unauthorized, you may submit a counter-notice. Send a written counter-notice to [email protected] that includes:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material removed and its location before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, phone number, and email, plus a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district where you live (or, for non-U.S. residents, any jurisdiction in which we may be found).
• A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice.

Repeat infringers

We terminate accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers under appropriate circumstances.

Material misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that material was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages. Don't send false notices.
