DMCA Policy

At spellingbee-answers.com, accessible at https://crumblcookie-menu.com/, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect visitors, contributors, users, and third parties to do the same. This DMCA Policy explains how we respond to claims of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), including the process for submitting takedown notices and counter-notices.

The U.S. Copyright Office explains that Section 512 of Title 17 provides “safe harbor” protections for qualifying online service providers when they cooperate with copyright owners and act expeditiously to remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material after receiving a compliant notice.

This page is intended to clearly explain:

  • how copyright owners or authorized agents may contact us
  • what a valid DMCA notice should contain
  • how users may send a counter-notice if they believe content was removed by mistake
  • how we handle repeat infringement concerns
  • how we address incomplete, false, or abusive complaints

By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this DMCA Policy.

1. Purpose of This Policy

DMCA Takedown Notice

The Copyright Office states that service providers seeking safe-harbor protection are expected to designate a DMCA agent and make that information publicly accessible.

3. How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice

The U.S. Copyright Office explains that, to be effective, a DMCA notice must contain substantially specific elements, including a signature, identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the allegedly infringing material, contact information, a good-faith statement, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and authorized.

Your takedown notice should include:

A. Your signature

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf. A typed full legal name may serve as an electronic signature in an emailed notice.

B. Identification of the copyrighted work

You must clearly identify the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. If multiple works are involved on the same site, you may provide a representative list of those works instead of listing every item individually.

C. Identification of the allegedly infringing material

You must identify the specific material you want removed or disabled and provide information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it. In most cases, that means the exact URL or URLs where the material appears. The Copyright Office notes that specific URLs are often needed to make the material locatable.

D. Your contact information

Please include:

  • your full name
  • mailing address
  • phone number
  • email address

E. Good-faith statement

You must state that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

F. Accuracy and authority statement under penalty of perjury

You must state that the information in your notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

4. Sample Notice Language

You may include wording similar to the following in your notice:

I have a good-faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material described above is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notice is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

5. What We May Do After Receiving a Notice

If we receive a notice that appears substantially compliant with DMCA requirements, we may:

  • review the notice for completeness and clarity
  • assess whether the material identified can be located
  • remove or disable access to the material
  • notify the relevant user or contributor, where applicable
  • retain records of the notice for legal, operational, and repeat-infringement purposes

The Copyright Office states that once a provider receives a compliant notice, it must act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and must then promptly notify the user who posted the material.

We reserve the right to request additional information if a complaint is incomplete, vague, or difficult to verify.

6. Misrepresentations in DMCA Notices

The Copyright Office warns that if a person knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a takedown notice, that person may be liable for damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees incurred by the user and/or the service provider.

Because of that, you should not file a DMCA notice unless you genuinely believe that:

  • you own the relevant copyright or are authorized to act for the owner
  • the use is infringing
  • the material identified is the correct material
  • the facts stated in your complaint are truthful and accurate

False, abusive, bad-faith, or reckless complaints may be rejected.

7. How to Submit a Counter-Notice

If you believe that material you posted, submitted, or made available through Crumbl Cookies Menu was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice.

The Copyright Office explains that a valid counter-notice must contain substantially the following: a physical or electronic signature, identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal, a statement under penalty of perjury that the removal was due to mistake or misidentification, and the user’s name, address, and telephone number along with consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate Federal District Court and acceptance of service of process from the original complainant.

Your counter-notice should include:

A. Your signature

A physical or electronic signature.

B. Identification of the removed material

A description of the material that was removed or disabled, along with the location where it appeared before removal.

C. Good-faith statement under penalty of perjury

A statement that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

D. Your contact information

Please include:

  • your full name
  • mailing address
  • phone number
  • email address

E. Consent to jurisdiction and service

You must state that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate Federal District Court and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or that person’s agent.

Please send counter-notices to:

admin@crumblcookie-menu.com

DMCA Counter-Notice

8. What Happens After a Counter-Notice

The Copyright Office states that, after receipt of a compliant counter-notice, the service provider must restore access to the material after no less than 10 and no more than 14 business days unless the original complainant informs the provider that a court action has been filed against the user.

If we receive a substantially valid counter-notice, we may:

  • forward it to the original complainant
  • wait the legally relevant response period
  • restore the material if we do not receive notice of a filed court action within that period

The Copyright Office also notes that when a counter-notice is received, the original complaining party may need to bring a court action if they want to prevent the material from being restored.

9. Repeat Infringer Policy

We reserve the right to take appropriate action against users or contributors who are the subject of repeated, valid copyright complaints.

That action may include:

  • removal of content
  • suspension of submission privileges
  • restrictions on participation
  • permanent limitation of access to interactive features
  • refusal of future submissions

We evaluate repeat infringement issues case by case, based on the number, quality, and credibility of notices received.

10. Fair Use and Good-Faith Review

Not every use of copyrighted material is necessarily infringing. Some uses may qualify as fair use under U.S. copyright law. Even so, Crumbl Cookies Menu is not a court and does not make final legal determinations regarding infringement.

Our role in the DMCA process is administrative and practical. We review notices in good faith, but we do not adjudicate copyright disputes as a judge or tribunal would.

If you are unsure whether a use is infringing or protected by fair use, you may wish to consult qualified legal counsel before submitting a DMCA complaint.

11. Incomplete or Invalid Notices

We may decline to act on notices that are:

  • missing required legal elements
  • too vague to identify the material
  • unsupported by adequate contact information
  • sent by someone without apparent authority
  • clearly unrelated to copyright law
  • abusive, repetitive, or facially defective

Where appropriate, we may request clarification, but we are not required to do so before acting on a facially valid notice.

12. Good-Faith Compliance With Section 512

The Copyright Office explains that Section 512 safe-harbor protections depend on cooperation with copyright owners and expeditious removal or disabling of access to allegedly infringing material after receipt of a proper notice.

Accordingly, Crumbl Cookies Menu intends to handle copyright complaints in good faith, with reasonable administrative care, and in a manner generally consistent with applicable U.S. law.

13. Changes to This DMCA Policy

We may revise this DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect:

  • legal developments
  • internal workflow changes
  • content management updates
  • site feature changes
  • policy clarifications

When updates are made, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the website after an updated version is posted means you accept the revised policy.
