The registration is current with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory. The official record is searchable at dmca.copyright.gov.

How to send a takedown notice

Email dmca@carcaretruth.com. To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature (or that of an authorized agent).
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed.
  3. Identification of the infringing material and the specific URL on carcaretruth.com, sufficient for us to locate it.
  4. Your name, mailing address, phone number, and email.
  5. A good-faith statement that the use is not authorized.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are (or are authorized to act for) the copyright owner.

Incomplete notices are returned and not acted on until complete.

Counter-notice — if your content was removed by mistake

Counter-notices also go to dmca@carcaretruth.com. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), a valid counter-notice must include:

  1. Your signature.
  2. Identification of the removed content and the URL where it appeared.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, mailing address, phone number, and email.
  5. Consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where you live — or, if outside the United States, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California — and agreement to accept service of process from the original complainant.

On a valid counter-notice we will forward it to the original complainant and replace the removed material in not less than 10 nor more than 14 business days unless the complainant first notifies us of a court action under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2)(C).

Repeat-infringer policy

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), CarCareTruth terminates the accounts of users determined to be repeat infringers. Details are in our Terms of Service §16.4.

Bad-faith notices

Knowingly false notices may expose the sender to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Submit only takedown notices you have a good-faith basis for.
