DMCA notice and counter-notification process for Boba.guide.
This page explains how copyright owners may report allegedly infringing material on Boba.guide and how an affected contributor may respond when material is removed or restricted.
How does Boba.guide handle copyright notices?
Boba.guide respects intellectual-property rights and reviews properly submitted notices alleging that material available through the site infringes copyright.
We may remove or disable access to material, request additional information, contact the contributor or rights holder, restore material after a valid counter-notification or take another action appropriate to the evidence and applicable law.
Is a DMCA notice the correct process?
Copyright infringement
Use this process when protected text, photography, artwork, video or other copyrighted expression is used without authorization.
Not factual disagreement
A disagreement about facts, opinions, rankings, reviews or editorial conclusions is not automatically a copyright claim.
Not ordinary trademark use
Use of a business name, product name, logo or packaging for identification may involve different legal issues.
Consider authorized use
Before filing, consider whether the material is licensed, permitted, in the public domain or used under an applicable legal exception.
Identify the exact material
A notice should point to the specific image, passage, file or other material rather than demand removal of an entire website.
Act in good faith
Knowingly submitting false or materially misleading claims may create legal consequences.
What should a copyright infringement notice contain?
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
- Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information sufficient to locate it
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address
- A good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act
Include the exact Boba.guide URL
Provide the full page address and identify the particular image, paragraph, file or other item involved. A screenshot can help, but it should not replace a precise URL and description.
Where should a DMCA notice be sent?
Send a complete notice to info@boba.guide with the subject line “DMCA Copyright Notice.”
The notice should be directed to PROFESSIONAL MEDIA LLC regarding Boba.guide and should include all information listed on this page.
What happens if information is missing?
We may request clarification or additional documentation when a notice does not identify the work, material, authority, contact information or required statements clearly enough to evaluate.
Submission of a notice does not guarantee immediate or permanent removal.
What may happen after a notice is received?
Initial review
We may check whether the notice contains the required information and identifies material hosted or controlled by Boba.guide.
Temporary restriction
Material may be removed or disabled while the claim is evaluated or while additional information is requested.
Contributor contact
The author, photographer, contributor, licensor or other relevant party may be notified and asked for documentation.
Correction or credit
Some disputes may be resolved through attribution, replacement, editing, licensing confirmation or another appropriate correction.
Removal
Material may remain unavailable when the available evidence supports the claim or no valid response is received.
Restoration
Material may be restored when a valid counter-notification is received and the legal process permits restoration.
Who may submit a counter-notification?
A person whose material was removed or disabled may submit a counter-notification when they believe the action resulted from mistake or misidentification.
A counter-notification is a legal statement. It should not be submitted merely because the person disagrees with the copyright owner or wants the material restored quickly.
What may happen after a counter-notification?
The counter-notification may be forwarded to the original claimant. Subject to applicable law, material may be restored unless the claimant provides notice of a court action seeking to restrain the disputed activity.
Restoration timing depends on the completeness of the counter-notification and applicable legal requirements.
What should a counter-notification contain?
Signature
A physical or electronic signature of the person submitting the counter-notification.
Removed material
Identification of the material removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
Good-faith statement
A statement under penalty of perjury that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification.
Contact information
The submitter’s name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
Jurisdiction statement
The legally required consent to the appropriate federal court’s jurisdiction.
Service statement
A statement agreeing to accept service of process from the original claimant or that person’s agent.
Will notices be shared?
A valid notice or counter-notification may be forwarded to the person who supplied the disputed material, the original claimant, legal advisers, hosting providers or other parties reasonably involved in the process.
Personal information included in a legal notice should be limited to what the process requires.
Should sensitive information be included?
Do not include passwords, payment-card information, medical records or unrelated private information. Legal notices may require contact details, but unnecessary sensitive data should be omitted.
How may repeated violations be handled?
Where appropriate and within Boba.guide’s control, accounts, contributor access or submission privileges associated with repeated copyright infringement may be restricted or terminated.
We may also decline future submissions from contributors who repeatedly provide unauthorized material or false rights information.
No legal advice
This page provides general procedural information and is not legal advice. Parties with complex ownership, licensing, fair-use or counter-notification questions should consult qualified counsel.
