Copyright & DMCA

Last updated: August 5, 2026

Comley Creative hosts websites built by our customers. We do not review that content before it is published. If you believe material on a site we host infringes your copyright, tell us and we will act on a valid notice.

Designated agent

Send notices of claimed infringement to our designated agent:

This agent is registered with the United States Copyright Office. Notices sent anywhere else may not reach us in time to act.

What a notice must contain

To be valid under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or someone authorised to act for them.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed.
3. Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it — a full URL is best.
4. Your name, address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the owner or authorised to act for them.

An incomplete notice may not be actionable. Please also be aware that misrepresenting material as infringing can make you liable for damages under §512(f).

What we do next

On receiving a valid notice we will remove or disable access to the material, and tell the customer who published it what we removed and why, including a copy of your notice.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the agent above containing: your signature; identification of the material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake; and your name, address and phone number, together with consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if you are outside the United States, for South Carolina) and acceptance of service from the complaining party.

If we receive a valid counter-notice we will forward it to the complainant. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, we may restore the material.

Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of customers who repeatedly infringe copyright.
