DMCA Takedown Notice
At All Massachusetts Forms, we deeply respect the intellectual property rights of others and commit to meet the needs of content owners. The digital world is vast, and while our platform strives to ensure that every piece of content respects these rights, there might be instances where infringements occur. This is why we have a dedicated process to address these concerns, aligned with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe an infringement has taken place on our platform, kindly follow our outlined procedure to submit a DMCA Takedown Notice.
Understanding the DMCA Takedown Notice
The DMCA Takedown Notice is a legal tool that allows copyright owners to request the removal of their copyrighted material from internet platforms when they believe their rights have been infringed upon. It is a formal declaration, stating that the copyright owner believes an unauthorized use of their intellectual property has occurred on All Massachusetts Forms. Our approach prioritizes a quick and judicious resolution to such issues, ensuring compliance with the DMCA provisions.
How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice
To file a DMCA Takedown Notice with All Massachusetts Forms, please ensure your notification is in compliance with the requirements set forth under the DMCA. The notice must include the following information:
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infraining or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material.

- A statement that the complaining party has 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.

Counter Notification
If you believe that your content has been mistakenly identified as infringing, you have the right to submit a counter notification.
