Copyright Infringement & Takedown Policy

If a listing on this site uses a copyrighted work that belongs to you (or to someone you are authorized to represent), you can ask us to remove it. The process below follows the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, and applies to every notice we receive.

1 Filing a copyright complaint

To start a takedown, send a written notice to the email addresses listed in section 3. Your notice should be a single message that contains all of the items described in section 2. We act on complete notices in the order they arrive; notices missing one or more required items are returned to the sender for correction and are not processed in the meantime.

2 What your notice must contain

Each item below is required by Section 512(c)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act. Please include all six in the same email:

The work that has been copied.: Tell us what you own. A description, a registration number, a link to the original on your own site, or a representative sample for cases where many works of yours are involved.
The page or product to take down.: Tell us what to remove. The full URL of each allegedly infringing page on this site is the most helpful — we will not search for matching listings on your behalf.
How to reach you.: Your full legal name, postal address, telephone number, and a working email address. We may need to contact you for clarification or to forward a counter-notice.
A good-faith statement.: A clear statement that you believe in good faith that the use described in your notice is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner's agent, or by law.
A statement of accuracy and authority, sworn under penalty of perjury.: A statement that the information you have provided is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are either the copyright owner or are authorized to act for the owner of the right that has been infringed.
Your signature.: A physical or electronic signature. A typed full name at the end of the email is acceptable as an electronic signature.

3 Where to send your notice

Submit your completed notice by email to both of the addresses below. One reaches the store directly; the other reaches our designated copyright contact. A notice sent to only one of the two may be delayed.

Store contactjohn@threadsquad.com

Designated agentnotice@rightsrelay.com

Please use a clear subject line such as “DMCA Takedown Notice” so the message is routed to the right inbox quickly.

4 Counter-notices

If material you posted has been removed in response to a takedown notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, you may file a counter-notice under Section 512(g). A counter-notice must include your contact information, the material that was removed, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by error. We forward valid counter-notices to the original complainant; the material may be restored unless they pursue a court action within the statutory window.

5 Repeat-infringer accounts

Accounts that are the subject of multiple substantiated copyright complaints will have their listings removed and may be permanently terminated. We do not require a specific number of complaints before acting; the test is whether the account has shown a pattern of disregard for the rights of others.

6 Misuse of this process

This is a legal process, not a complaint form. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation that content is infringing — or that a takedown was a mistake, in the case of a counter-notice — can be held liable for any damages caused by that misrepresentation, including attorneys' fees.

If you are not sure whether the use of your work is actually infringing (for example, because it may qualify as fair use), please consult an attorney before submitting a notice.
