Copyright and DMCA

AdSworn is operated by Flocksy LLC. Ads and listings on AdSworn are written by the advertisers and publishers who use it. If one of them uses your work without permission, tell us and we'll act on it under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).

Not a copyright problem? To report an ad that is misleading, unlawful or breaks our ad rules, use adsworn.com/contact?type=report or email hello@adsworn.com.

1. Sending a notice

Your notice must be in writing and include:

• your physical or electronic signature, as the copyright owner or someone authorised to act for them;
• the copyrighted work you say is infringed (or a list, if several works are covered by one notice);
• the material you say infringes and where it is on AdSworn, precisely enough for us to find it (for example the listing or ad address);
• your name, postal address, phone number and email address;
• a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
• a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

A notice that leaves out any of these may not be valid, and we may ask you to complete it.

2. Where to send it

Copyright Agent
Flocksy LLC, d/b/a AdSworn
PO Box 1691
Pawcatuck, CT 06379
United States
Email: hello@adsworn.com · Subject: “DMCA Notice”

3. What we do

We review every notice promptly. When it is valid, we remove or disable access to the material and tell the advertiser or publisher who posted it, with a copy of the notice (your contact details included, so they can respond). If an ad is removed this way, its refund follows the Terms.

4. Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, send our Copyright Agent:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith the material was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address and phone number; and
• 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 Flocksy LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

We send the counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to stop the infringement, we restore the material 10 to 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice.

5. Repeat infringers

We keep a record of valid notices. We end the accounts of advertisers and publishers who repeatedly infringe, in appropriate circumstances, and may remove their listings and ads at any time.

6. False claims

Anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). If you aren't sure whether something infringes, talk to a lawyer first.
