DMCA Policy

OwnerManual.net respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the same of everyone who uses our site. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512), we respond promptly to properly submitted notices of alleged copyright infringement involving material on ownermanual.net.

Submitting a notice

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe material on our site infringes your copyright, you may send us a written notice in any of these ways:

  • Online: complete the DMCA Notice Form at the bottom of this page.
  • By mail: Designated Copyright Agent: Bernard Elie Naim, OwnerManual.net, 2578 NW 138th Ter, Gainesville, FL 32606-9320
  • By email: hello@ownermanual.net (subject line: “DMCA Notice”)

What your notice must include

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, for multiple works, a representative list).
  2. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and that you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it – at a minimum, the page URL on ownermanual.net.
  3. Your name, company (if any), mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

What happens next

When we receive a complete notice, we will review it and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the identified material and make a reasonable effort to notify the person who supplied it. If your notice is incomplete, we may ask for more information; notices that don't meet the requirements above may not be processed.

Counter-notification

If material you supplied was removed and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the agent above that includes:

  1. Identification of the material removed and where it appeared before removal;
  2. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
  3. Your name, address, and telephone number, and 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 OwnerManual.net may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice;
  4. Your physical or electronic signature.

Unless the original complainant notifies us that it has filed a court action, we may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after receiving a valid counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

We may, in appropriate circumstances, stop doing business with anyone who repeatedly infringes others' copyrights.

Warning about false claims

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. If you are unsure whether material infringes your rights, consider consulting an attorney first.
