4. Who May Submit a DMCA Notice

A copyright infringement notice should be submitted by:

  • The copyright owner, or
  • A person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

If you submit a complaint for another person or organization, you should be authorized to represent that rights holder.

5. Before Submitting a DMCA Notice

Before submitting a copyright complaint, please make sure that:

  • You own the copyright or are authorized to act for the owner.

Please do not send sensitive or confidential information that is unnecessary for evaluating the claim.

15. Review of Copyright Notices

After receiving a sufficiently complete notice, Coastora may:

  • Review the complaint.
  • Locate the reported material.
  • Review supporting documentation.
  • Request clarification where necessary.
  • Temporarily restrict disputed material where appropriate.
  • Remove or disable access to material when warranted.
  • Notify relevant parties where appropriate.
  • Review any valid counter-notification.

The specific action taken depends on the facts and applicable law.

16. Removal or Disablement of Material

If we determine that appropriate action is warranted, we may remove or disable access to the reported material.

Removal may apply to:

  • Product photographs
  • Product descriptions
  • Website images
  • Written content
  • Graphics
  • Videos
  • Other disputed copyrighted material

Removal does not necessarily constitute an admission of infringement.

17. Notice to the Affected Party

Where appropriate, we may notify the person or party associated with the removed or restricted content.

The notification may include information regarding:

  • The reported material
  • The nature of the complaint
  • The removal or restriction
  • Available counter-notification procedures

Information from the original notice may be shared where reasonably necessary and legally appropriate.

18. Counter-Notification

If material has been removed or disabled because of a copyright complaint and the affected party believes the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification, that party may submit a counter-notification where applicable.

Counter-notifications should be sent to:

contact@coastora.shop

Use a clear subject line such as:

DMCA Counter-Notification

19. Required Counter-Notification Information

A counter-notification should generally include:

  • The affected party's full legal name.
  • Mailing address.
  • Telephone number, if available.
  • Email address.
  • Identification of the material that was removed or disabled.
  • The location where the material appeared before removal.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the party has a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
  • Consent to the jurisdiction required under applicable DMCA procedures.

20. Counter-Notification Good-Faith Statement

A counter-notification should include a statement substantially similar to:

"I declare under penalty of perjury that I have a good-faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification."

21. Counter-Notification Review

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we may process it according to applicable law.

This may include providing the counter-notification to the original claimant where legally appropriate.

Content may be restored where permitted if the original claimant does not take the legal action required to prevent restoration within the applicable statutory period.

22. No Guarantee of Restoration

Submitting a counter-notification does not automatically guarantee restoration of disputed material.

Restoration depends on:

  • Completeness of the counter-notification
  • Applicable legal requirements
  • Any response from the original claimant
  • Court proceedings, if any
  • Other relevant circumstances

23. False DMCA Notices

Do not knowingly submit a false, fraudulent, or materially misleading DMCA notice.

Misrepresenting that material is infringing may expose the person submitting the notice to liability under applicable law.

Before filing a notice, claimants should carefully consider whether the disputed material may be:

  • Licensed
  • Authorized
  • Public domain
  • Fair use
  • Otherwise legally permitted

24. False Counter-Notifications

Counter-notifications must also be truthful and submitted in good faith.

Knowingly providing false information may have legal consequences.

25. Fair Use

Copyright law may permit certain uses of copyrighted material without permission under doctrines such as fair use.

Fair use analysis may consider factors including:

  • Purpose and character of the use
  • Nature of the copyrighted work
  • Amount of the work used
  • Effect on the potential market

Coastora does not make binding legal determinations regarding complex fair-use disputes.

26. Licensed or Authorized Content

Not all uses of copyrighted material require removal.

Content may be lawfully used under:

  • License
  • Written permission
  • Contract
  • Assignment
  • Authorization
  • Applicable statutory exception

If challenged content is licensed or authorized, supporting evidence may be requested.

27. Public Domain Material

Material that is in the public domain may generally be used without copyright authorization.

A DMCA notice should not be submitted solely because a person previously published or used material that is not protected by copyright.

28. Copyright Ownership Disputes

Coastora is not a court or legal tribunal.

Complex disputes involving:

  • Competing ownership claims
  • Contract interpretation
  • Copyright assignments
  • Licensing rights
  • Work-for-hire arrangements
  • Authorship disputes

may need to be resolved directly between the parties or through appropriate legal proceedings.

29. Repeat Copyright Infringement

Where appropriate, Coastora may take reasonable action concerning repeated copyright infringement associated with the same person, provider, or source.

Possible actions may include:

  • Removing content
  • Restricting content
  • Discontinuing use of material
  • Restricting submissions
  • Ending relationships with repeat infringing content providers
  • Other appropriate measures

30. User-Submitted Content

If coastora.shop permits users or third parties to submit:

  • Reviews
  • Images
  • Photographs
  • Comments
  • Product content
  • Other materials

the person submitting the content must have the necessary rights or permission to do so.

Submitting copyrighted content without authorization may result in removal.

31. Supplier or Third-Party Content

Some content may be obtained from:

  • Suppliers
  • Manufacturers
  • Contractors
  • Content providers
  • Service providers
  • Other authorized third parties

If such content is the subject of a copyright complaint, we may contact the relevant provider or request evidence of authorization.

32. Product Photography Claims

If your complaint concerns a product photograph, please provide:

  • Original photograph
  • Original publication source
  • Exact Coastora page containing the photograph
  • Evidence of authorship or ownership
  • Registration information, if available

Clear comparison information may help us evaluate the claim more efficiently.

33. Product Description Claims

If your complaint concerns written product descriptions or website text, identify:

  • The original copyrighted text
  • Where the original text was published
  • The text you believe was copied
  • The exact URL on coastora.shop
  • Evidence supporting authorship or ownership

Short phrases, facts, product specifications, or common descriptions may not always qualify for copyright protection.

34. Image and Graphic Claims

Copyright complaints involving graphics, illustrations, logos, or artwork should identify:

  • The original work
  • The allegedly infringing copy
  • Original publication information
  • Ownership evidence
  • Exact location on our website

Trademark-related logo complaints may also be subject to our Intellectual Property Claim Policy.

35. Copyright and Trademark Complaints

The DMCA process primarily concerns copyright.

If your complaint concerns:

  • Trademark infringement
  • Trade dress
  • Brand misuse
  • Counterfeit branding
  • Design rights
  • Other intellectual property rights

please submit the matter under our Intellectual Property Claim Policy.

36. Personal Information in Notices

A copyright notice or counter-notification may contain personal information.

Such information may be processed for purposes including:

  • Reviewing the claim
  • Verifying authority
  • Communicating with the parties
  • Maintaining records
  • Preventing abuse
  • Complying with legal requirements

Personal information is otherwise handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

37. Information Sharing

Information from a copyright notice or counter-notification may be shared where reasonably necessary with:

  • The affected content provider
  • The original claimant
  • Legal advisers
  • Service providers
  • Courts
  • Government authorities
  • Other parties where legally required

Do not include confidential information that is unnecessary to process your claim.

38. No Legal Advice

Information in this DMCA Policy is provided to explain our copyright complaint process.

It does not constitute legal advice.

If you are uncertain about:

  • Copyright ownership
  • Fair use
  • Licensing
  • DMCA requirements
  • Counter-notification consequences
  • Litigation

you should consider obtaining advice from a qualified attorney.

39. Abuse of the DMCA Process

Coastora may take reasonable steps to prevent misuse of its copyright reporting procedures.

Abusive conduct may include:

  • Repeated knowingly false notices
  • Forged ownership documents
  • Impersonation
  • Harassment
  • Fraudulent copyright claims
  • Attempts to remove lawful material for anti-competitive purposes

Such submissions may be rejected or subject to additional verification.

40. No Automatic Finding of Liability

Removal or restriction of content after receiving a DMCA notice does not necessarily mean that Coastora has concluded that copyright infringement occurred.

Similarly, retaining or restoring material does not constitute a binding legal determination that the use is lawful.

41. Intellectual Property Owned by Coastora

Certain content on coastora.shop may be owned by Coastora or used under appropriate authorization.

This may include:

  • Original website text
  • Original graphics
  • Branding
  • Product photography
  • Website design elements
  • Promotional materials

Unauthorized copying or commercial use of protected Coastora content may violate applicable intellectual property laws.

42. Third-Party Copyrights

Copyrighted material belonging to third parties remains the property of its respective owner.

Displaying third-party material does not mean that Coastora claims ownership of that material.

Where applicable, such content may be used pursuant to permission, license, authorization, or another lawful basis.

43. Relationship With Our Intellectual Property Claim Policy

This DMCA Policy specifically addresses copyright complaints.

Our broader Intellectual Property Claim Policy applies to matters such as:
