FlipDash respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. This policy describes our procedures for responding to claims of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.
1. Our Commitment
If you believe that content appearing on FlipDash infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice as described below. We review all properly submitted notices and will act promptly to remove or disable access to infringing content where appropriate. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.
The DMCA process is for copyright claims only. For other legal concerns, trademark disputes, or privacy requests, see our Contact & Legal Requests page.
2. Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice
To file a valid DMCA takedown notice, your written notice must include all of the following:
- •A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf
- •Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed — if multiple works are covered in a single notice, a representative list is acceptable
- •Identification of the specific material on FlipDash that you believe infringes your copyright — include the URL, page location, or a clear description sufficient for us to locate it
- •Your contact information — name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
- •A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
- •A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf
Send your notice to our designated DMCA agent:
DMCA / Copyright Agent
dmca@flip-dash.comWe may acknowledge receipt of your notice by email, but acknowledgment does not mean we have verified or acted on your claim.
3. What Happens After You Submit a Notice
Upon receiving a properly submitted DMCA notice, FlipDash will:
- •Review the notice for completeness and apparent validity
- •Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content
- •Notify the user who submitted or uploaded the content that it has been removed
- •Provide the user with a copy of the takedown notice (personal contact details redacted)
- •Allow the user to submit a counter-notification if they believe the removal was in error
We typically process valid notices within 3–5 business days. Incomplete or deficient notices may be rejected or returned for correction.
4. Counter-Notification Process
If content you uploaded to FlipDash was removed in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. Your counter-notice must include:
- •Your physical or electronic signature
- •Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal (e.g., URL)
- •A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
- •Your full name, mailing address, and telephone number
- •A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or any judicial district if your address is outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original takedown notice
Send your counter-notification to the same DMCA agent address listed in Section 2.
Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within 10–14 business days that they have filed a court action seeking an injunction, we may, at our discretion, restore the removed content.
5. Repeat Infringers
FlipDash has a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights. We consider a "repeat infringer" to be any user who has had content removed in response to multiple valid DMCA notices within a 12-month period, or who has been found to have engaged in a pattern of infringing conduct.
We reserve the right to make this determination at our sole discretion and to take action without advance notice.
6. Misuse of the DMCA Process
Submitting a DMCA notice in bad faith — knowing that the material does not infringe your copyright — may expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), including damages, costs, and attorney fees. FlipDash reserves the right to seek recovery from parties who abuse the DMCA process.
Similarly, submitting a false counter-notification is a serious matter that may expose you to legal liability.
