July 5, 2024


The Divorce Guide, LLC (“Company” or “we” or “us”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and provides this Copyright Policy to describe Company’s policy of prohibiting users from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting on or to the www.thedivorce.guide website (“Site”), website-related services (accessible through various desktop and mobile web browsers that we may offer from time to time, locally installed mobile web applications, third party platforms including social networking sites (collectively, the “Products”)) (“Service”) any information or materials that violate another party’s intellectual property rights. This Copyright Policy is part of our Terms and Conditions of Use (the “Terms”) and License Agreement for developers and brand customers (the “License Agreement”). Please click here to see the Terms https://www.thedivorce.guide/terms-of-use. 


The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. It is our policy to respond to notices and counter-notices that properly conform with the DMCA’s requirements. Accordingly, notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see the Copyright Office’s web page at www.copyright.gov for details of the current DMCA requirements.


A. Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement
If you, as a user of the Service (“You”), believe in good faith that materials hosted by Company infringe Your copyright (for example, materials posted by Company within the web application or on one of the forums within the Site or the App), You (or Your agent) may send us a written notification pursuant to the DMCA (a “DMCA Notification”), by providing our “DMCA Agent” (as set forth below) with the information listed below (and as further set forth in 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)) and requesting that the material be removed or access to it blocked: 

​

  1. Identification in sufficient detail of the copyrighted work that You claim has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works on the Service are covered by a single notification, You may provide a representative list of such works on the Service, however, the representative list must still contain sufficient detail of the copyrighted works so that we can identify them;

  2. Identification of the URL or other specific location on the Service that contains the material that You claim to be infringing Your copyright. You must provide us with reasonably sufficient information to enable us to locate the alleged infringing material(s), so that we can comply with Your request to remove or deny access to it/them;

  3. Your name, address, telephone number and email address (if available);

  4. The electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf; 

  5. A statement that You have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and

  6. A statement that You swear under penalty of perjury that the information contained in Your notification is accurate and that You are the copyright owner or that You are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. 

 

You acknowledge that if You fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section A, Your DMCA Notification will not be valid.

 

You must submit any DMCA Notification alleging copyright infringement to Company’s DMCA Agent by fax, mail, or email as set forth below:

B. Counter Notification
If You believe in good faith that Your own copyrighted material or copyrighted material for which You have authorization from the copyright owner has been removed from Company’s Service as a result of mistake or misidentification, You may submit a written counter-notification letter (“Counter-Notification”) to Company’s DMCA Agent pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA.
