DMCA & Copyright Policy

How to report a copyright concern involving content linked or displayed on ReFooty.

Last updated:

Respect for rights

ReFooty respects intellectual property rights. If you own a copyrighted work, or are authorized to act for its owner, and believe material linked or displayed on ReFooty infringes those rights, send a sufficiently detailed notice for review.

Send a copyright notice

Email refooty@hotmail.com with the subject “Copyright / DMCA notice” and include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list if the notice covers multiple works.
  3. Identification of the disputed material and the specific ReFooty URLs needed to locate it. Include the source URL if known.
  4. Your name, address, telephone number and email address so we can contact you.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Keep the report specific. A competition name or a general homepage link may not identify the material sufficiently.

Review and third-party sources

We review notices and may request clarification, remove or disable a link, or take other appropriate action. Where the video is provided by a third party, removing a ReFooty link does not remove the source file; you may also need to contact the source provider.

We may notify the affected contributor or source and share the information needed to handle the complaint. Do not include unrelated sensitive information in your notice.

If you believe a removal was mistaken

Contact us with the removed URL, an explanation and supporting details. A formal counter-notification under section 512, where applicable, must include your signature, identification of the removed material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, and your name, address and telephone number. It must also include consent to the relevant federal court's jurisdiction and acceptance of service from the notifying party or its agent.

We review counter-notifications under the applicable process. Submitting one does not guarantee immediate restoration; legal action or source availability may affect the outcome.

Repeat infringement and inaccurate reports

Repeated rights violations may lead to removal of links or restriction of access where appropriate. Send notices and counter-notifications in good faith. Knowingly misrepresenting infringement or removal can have legal consequences.
