FootyBite Copyright & DMCA Policy

1. Copyright Complaints and Notices

If you are a copyright owner or are authorized to represent one, you may contact FootyBite regarding material that you believe requires attention. A written notice should clearly identify the copyrighted work, the relevant FootyBite page or reference, and the basis for your claim so the submitted information can be reviewed appropriately.

Providing complete and specific information can help make the review process more efficient. Copyright-related submissions may be considered under applicable intellectual property requirements, including relevant provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act where applicable.

2. Information Recommended for a Copyright Notice

A copyright notice should contain sufficient information to establish the nature of the complaint and identify the material involved. Where applicable, please include the following:

1. Authorized Signature: Include a physical or electronic signature belonging to the copyright owner or an individual authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the Copyrighted Work: Describe the protected work that you believe is affected by the reported material. For multiple works, provide a clear list of the works covered by the notice.
3. Relevant FootyBite Location: Provide the specific page address, reference, link, or other details that allow the reported location to be identified without ambiguity.
4. Requester Details: Supply your name and dependable contact information, including an email address and, where relevant, telephone or mailing information.
5. Good-Faith Declaration: State that you have a good-faith belief that the use or reference described in the notice is not authorized by the copyright owner, its authorized representative, or applicable law.
6. Accuracy and Representation: Confirm that the information included in the notice is accurate and, when acting for another party, that you have the authority to represent the applicable copyright owner.

3. Copyright Notice Submission Contact

Formal copyright concerns may be submitted electronically using the contact information below. To assist with proper handling, include the affected page or reference together with a clear explanation of the copyrighted work and the concern being raised.

4. Accuracy of Copyright Submissions

Anyone submitting a copyright complaint should ensure that the information provided is truthful, complete, and based on a legitimate claim. A person submitting a notice on behalf of another rights holder should also have appropriate authorization to do so. Knowingly submitting inaccurate or misleading copyright information may result in legal consequences under applicable law.

5. Review of Repeated Copyright Concerns

When credible copyright concerns are repeatedly associated with a particular page, reference, or external destination, FootyBite may evaluate what reasonable action is available in the circumstances. Depending on the situation, this may involve modifying, removing, disabling, or restricting an identified reference or page.

6. Third-Party Websites and Original Material

FootyBite does not control the servers, hosting environments, storage systems, publishing practices, or content decisions of independent third-party websites. When the material described in a copyright complaint is hosted or maintained by another provider, the rights holder may also need to contact that provider directly regarding the original material.

Updating or removing a reference appearing on FootyBite does not necessarily affect content stored on an independent external service. For that reason, rights holders seeking removal of the original material should direct an appropriate request to the website or provider responsible for hosting that material.
