# [Copyright and DMCA notices](https://rebilder.com/legal/dmca) > How to tell us that something on rebilder.com infringes your copyright, who receives that notice, how to counter it, and what we do about repeat infringement. - **Updated:** 2026-08-05 - **Author:** Rebilder LLC - **Description:** How to tell us that something on rebilder.com infringes your copyright, who receives that notice, how to counter it, and what we do about repeat infringement. - **Section:** Legal - **Publisher:** Rebilder LLC ## Summary Rebilder respects copyright, including the copyright in the pages our scanner reads. Most complaints about us are answered faster by the removal button than by a legal notice, so start with the first section. ## Start here: you may not need a notice - We do not store copies of third-party page content. A scan record holds status codes, the redirect chain, header names and values, byte counts and content hashes, structure and numbers, never prose. There is usually no copy of your work in our systems to remove. - If your domain has an entry in the public index and you want it gone, removal is free, self-serve and permanent, and it never requires a sworn statement or a lawyer. Write to privacy@rebilder.com from the domain and suppression happens while we verify. - If you want our scanner to stop fetching you altogether, name rebilder-ars in a robots.txt group and disallow it. The details are at /bots. None of that takes anything away from your right to send a formal notice. It is here because it is usually faster. ## Our designated agent Notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act should be sent to our designated agent, the Copyright Agent at Rebilder LLC, by email to dmca@rebilder.com. Email is a monitored channel and a properly formed notice sent there is acted on; we will acknowledge receipt and tell you what we did. ## What a notice has to contain To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following: - A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorised to act for them. - Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, for multiple works at one site, a representative list. - Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it: a URL on rebilder.com, not a description. - Your contact details: name, postal address, telephone number and email address. - A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. - A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf. An incomplete notice may not be effective, and we will tell you what is missing rather than ignoring it. We aim to acknowledge within 2 working days and to act on a complete notice within 10. ## What we do when we receive one - We remove or disable access to the identified material expeditiously. - We tell whoever posted it, and we forward them your notice, including the contact details in it, which is how the counter-notice procedure works. - We record the notice, what we removed, and when. ## Counter-notice If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same address containing: - Your physical or electronic signature. - Identification of the material removed and where it appeared before removal. - A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification. - Your name, postal address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district where you live (or, if outside the United States, of any district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice. We forward a valid counter-notice to the original complainant. If they do not tell us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, we may restore the material. ## Misrepresentation cuts both ways Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, is liable for damages including costs and legal fees. Do not use this procedure to remove a score you dislike, the removal route is free and next to it on this page, and it does not require you to swear to anything. ## Repeat infringers We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. Repeated valid notices against the same account are grounds for suspension and then closure under the Terms of Service. ## Trademark and other complaints For trademark complaints, defamation claims, or anything else you believe is unlawful on rebilder.com, write to legal@rebilder.com with the URL and what is wrong with it. For personal-data requests, including removal from the public index, use privacy@rebilder.com. That route is free, self-serve and permanent, and it is never something you can be sold.
