DMCA

Nickgram’s DMCA policy is how copyright owners ask the Nickgram editorial team to remove material from nickgram.com under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act: email a written notice with the six required details, we disable access to material covered by a valid notice, and the person who submitted it may file a counter-notice.

  • Send to: [email protected], subject line “DMCA Notice”
  • Include: the six details listed below — notices missing them cannot be acted on
  • What happens next: review, removal or disabling of access, and a note to the person who posted the material
  • Disagree with a removal? Send a counter-notice using the steps further down

What this policy covers

Nickgram respects intellectual property rights and responds to notices sent under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Most of what Nickgram (the multi-script stylish name generator) shows is made of Unicode characters, which belong to a public standard and are not owned by anyone. A notice is most likely to concern our own page text and images, or a nickname that a visitor submitted to a community list. Complaints that are not about copyright — an offensive or impersonating nickname, for example — go through the Report a Nickname page instead.

What a takedown notice must include

Email [email protected] with the subject line “DMCA Notice” and include all six of the following:

  1. Your contact information: name, postal address, telephone number and email.
  2. A clear description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
  3. The exact URL(s) on nickgram.com where the material appears. If the material is a community-submitted nickname, include the nickname text and the page where it is listed.
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature (a typed full name is accepted).

How we handle a notice

  1. Acknowledge. We confirm we have received your notice, usually within a few business days.
  2. Check completeness. If one of the six details is missing, we ask you for it before acting.
  3. Remove or disable access. Material covered by a valid notice is taken down or hidden from the page.
  4. Inform the poster. Where the material came from a visitor, we pass on the notice so they can respond.
  5. Record it. We keep a record of notices and repeat problems; material from a source that repeatedly submits infringing content can be blocked from our community lists.

If you are not sure whether your request is a copyright matter or something else, write to the editorial team through our contact page first and we will point you to the right process.

How to file a counter-notice

If material you posted was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same email address. It must include:

  1. Your name, address, telephone number and signature (physical or electronic).
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

Under the DMCA, after a valid counter-notice we forward it to the person who filed the original notice, and the material may be restored in 10 to 14 business days unless they tell us they have filed a court action to stop it.

False notices

Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, can make you liable for damages under Section 512(f) of the DMCA. Please make sure you own the rights, or act for someone who does, before sending a notice.
