Copyright notices and counter-notices

DRAFT FOR COUNSEL. Contact details must be supplied and verified before publication.

Send notices by email or post. There is no web intake form. Identify the material precisely; we do not fetch submitted links. We verify a notice and confirm the sender before acting. Material may be suspended reversibly; a claim does not automatically remove it.

United States: DMCA 17 USC 512(c)(3)

Include a physical or electronic signature of the owner or authorised representative; identification of the copyrighted work (or a representative list for multiple works); identification and location of the material alleged to infringe, sufficient for us to locate it; your address, telephone number and email if available; a statement of good faith belief that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or law; and a statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act for the owner of the exclusive right.

Under DMCA 512(f), knowingly materially misrepresenting infringement or mistaken removal can create liability for damages, costs and attorneys' fees.

South Africa: ECT Act section 77(1)

A written notice addressed to Egghead Labs or its designated agent must include your full name and address, telephone and electronic contact details if any, signature, identification of the right allegedly infringed, identification of the material or activity, the remedy requested, a statement of good faith, and a statement that the information is true and correct to the best of your knowledge. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation of facts in a notice can create liability for damages resulting from a wrongful takedown under section 77(2).

Counter-notices

We tell the affected owner what was claimed, what was suspended and how to counter-notify, sharing claimant identity only as required by applicable law. Reply through the published contact. For a user upload, the account owner must also confirm the case-bound token in the app while signed in; email alone does not authorise restoration. For public content Egghead Labs is the publisher.

A DMCA 512(g)(3) counter-notice must contain your physical or electronic signature; identification of the removed material and its former location; a statement under penalty of perjury of good faith belief that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification; your name, address and telephone number; consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for your address (or, outside the US, any district where the service provider may be found); and agreement to accept service from the notifying person or their agent.

We confirm the sender and promptly forward a valid DMCA counter-notice to the claimant. Restoration occurs 10–14 business days after receipt of a compliant counter-notice, unless we receive notice of a filed court action seeking an order restraining the allegedly infringing activity. Confirmation or forwarding does not restart that period. A threatened action alone does not block restoration. South African cases follow the ECT Act and applicable legal process, not the DMCA timer. Independent safety withdrawals and other active claims remain effective.

Case evidence is retained while a dispute is open and normally for three years after closure. Requests to access or delete claimant data require verified control of the sender address; legal holds can restrict deletion.
