Masque respects copyright and removes or restricts material when a valid notice identifies infringing content. This page describes the Digital Millennium Copyright Act process and identifies the agent designated to receive notices of claimed infringement on Masque's behalf.

Designated agent

Copyright notice

Send a notice of claimed infringement to the designated agent above by email or by post. You may also submit a trackable copyright notice, which reaches the same agent and returns a reference you can use to follow the request.

A complete notice should include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list for multiple works at one online site.
3. Identification and location of the allegedly infringing material with enough detail for Masque to find it, such as a Masque URL, handle, salon, thread, message, or media reference.
4. The complaining party's name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement of good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the owner, agent, or law.
6. A statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and the sender is the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Do not attach unnecessary intimate media, identity documents, or illegal content. Provide location references instead.

Masque's response

Masque may restrict the material while checking the notice, notify the uploader, preserve relevant evidence, remove or disable access, record a strike, and take action against repeat infringers. Masque may forward the notice, including contact information, to the uploader or as required by law.

Counter-notice

An uploader who believes material was removed through mistake or misidentification may send the designated agent a counter-notice containing:

1. The uploader's physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed material and its former Masque location.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification.
4. The uploader's name, address, telephone number, consent to the applicable federal court jurisdiction, and consent to accept service from the original notifier or their agent.

If legally appropriate, Masque may forward the counter-notice and restore access after the statutory waiting period unless the original notifier reports filing a qualifying court action. Safety, privacy, or other policy reasons may independently keep content unavailable.

If you received a Masque removal reference, use the dedicated counter-notice form.

Repeat infringers and misrepresentation

Masque may terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances and may act against users who knowingly submit false notices or counter-notices. Copyright complaints are legal statements; consider obtaining legal advice before submitting one.
