This page provides a notice-and-review process. It does not claim that DocAccessible has designated a statutory DMCA agent in any jurisdiction, and it is not legal advice.
1. Before sending a complaint
Consider whether the use is authorized by the rights owner, a license, applicable law, fair use or fair dealing, public-domain status, or another exception. If the page identifies the publishing organization, contacting it directly may resolve the issue fastest. Do not submit knowingly false claims.
2. Information to include
Send a notice through the contact route and include:
- your full name, organization, email, and authority to act for the rights owner;
- a clear identification of the copyrighted work or other right claimed;
- the exact DocAccessible URL and enough detail to locate the challenged material;
- an explanation of why you believe the use is unauthorized;
- a statement that the information is accurate and provided in good faith; and
- your typed or electronic signature.
Use the copyright complaint form. Do not attach sensitive identity documents or the full copyrighted work. We will arrange a secure method if additional evidence is necessary.
3. What happens next
We may ask for clarification, preserve relevant records, restrict access while reviewing, forward the complaint and contact information to the customer, or remove or disable material when appropriate. We may reject incomplete, abusive, or clearly invalid notices. Repeat or serious infringement can result in account action under the Acceptable Use Policy.
4. Response from the customer
A customer who believes material was removed by mistake may respond with its identity, the affected URL, the basis for authorization, supporting evidence, and a good-faith statement. We may restore access when the dispute is resolved, the complainant withdraws the notice, or applicable process permits it. We do not decide ownership disputes that require a court or regulator.
5. Other rights
Use the same route for trademark, privacy, publicity, or impersonation concerns and clearly identify the right involved. Security issues should follow the Security Overview; accessibility barriers should use the accessibility topic.
