COPYRIGHT & IP INTEGRITY (DMCA) – GOATDG

Respecting Creativity & Intellectual Property

At GoatDG, we celebrate originality. As a platform that thrives on creative designs, we hold intellectual property rights in the highest regard. We strictly comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and are committed to maintaining a marketplace that is fair, legal, and inspiring for everyone.

To protect the hard work of creators, we reserve the right to:

  • Act Swiftly: Remove or disable access to any material that we believe, in good faith, infringes upon valid copyrights.

  • Protect the Community: Suspend or terminate services for users who are identified as repeat offenders.

πŸ“’ Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your creative work has been hosted on our website without authorization, we are here to help. To file a formal DMCA notice, please provide our Designated Agent with the following details:

  1. Authorized Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

  2. Identification of Work: A clear and detailed description of the copyrighted work you claim is being infringed.

  3. Location of Infringement: The exact URL(s) or specific location on GoatDG where the material is located.

  4. Contact Information: Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

  5. Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a “good faith belief” that the use of the material is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.

  6. Statement of Accuracy: A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

🚨 Our Response Procedure

Once we receive a valid and complete DMCA notice, the GoatDG team will:

  • Take Action: Promptly remove or disable access to the infringing content.

  • Notify & Transparent: Inform the alleged infringer that a complaint has been filed.

  • Maintain Integrity: Monitor and take appropriate action against repeat offenders to ensure our platform remains a trusted space.

βš–οΈ Your Right to a Counter-Notice

We believe in due process. If you feel your content was removed by mistake or that you have the legal right to use it, you may submit a Counter-Notice including:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.

  • Identification of the material removed and its original location.

  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the removal was a result of mistake or misidentification.

  • Your contact details and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court (for the judicial district of your address or U.S. Federal Courts if outside the U.S.).

Note: If a valid counter-notice is received, GoatDG may restore the material within 10–14 business days, provided the original complainant does not file a court action.
