DMCA

We take copyright seriously at natal-chart.org, both our own and that of others. If you believe something on the site infringes your copyright, this page explains how to notify us under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512.

Filing a copyright notice

Please make sure your notice includes each of these elements, as required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of someone authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
2. The copyrighted work concerned, identified clearly, or a representative list where the notice covers multiple works.
3. Information that lets us locate the material you object to, such as the exact URL of each page on natal-chart.org.
4. Contact information so we can reach you, including your address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the owner, the owner's agent or the law.
6. A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you own the right or are authorised to act for the owner.

Contact for notices

Please email your notice to [email protected] and put “DMCA notice” in the subject. We review notices promptly. When a notice is complete and valid, we remove or disable access to the material and let you know. If something is missing, we may ask you for it before we can act.

Counter-notices

If you believe material was removed in error, you can respond with a counter-notice to [email protected] that includes:

• a physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address and telephone number, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

Once we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material within 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant informs us that they have gone to court.

False claims

Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act provides that knowingly and materially misrepresenting infringement, or a mistaken removal, can lead to liability for damages, costs and attorneys' fees. When in doubt, for instance where fair use may apply, consider talking to a lawyer before filing.

Policy on repeat infringers

natal-chart.org has no user accounts or uploads, but where it applies, we will, in appropriate circumstances, cut off access for anyone who repeatedly infringes copyright.
