DMCA Copyright Policy

Effective July 24, 2026 · Digital Network Designs LLC

Digital Network Designs LLC ("DND") respects intellectual property rights and responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.

We host websites for third parties. We do not review or control the content our clients publish. If you believe material on a site we host infringes your copyright, this page tells you how to notify us.

1. Designated agent

Send notices of claimed infringement to our designated agent:

DMCA Designated Agent
Digital Network Designs LLC
East Texas
Email: dmca@digitalnetworkdesigns.com

Notices sent to other addresses may not receive a timely response. This agent is registered with the United States Copyright Office.

2. Filing a takedown notice

To be effective, a notice must be in writing and include all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple works at one site are covered, a representative list.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it. Give us the full URL of each page or file. "Somewhere on their website" is not enough for us to act on.
4. Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright 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 the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

3. What we do when we receive a notice

• We review the notice for the required elements. Incomplete notices are returned with an explanation of what is missing.
• For a complete notice, we expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material.
• We notify the client whose site is affected, forward a copy of the notice, and inform them of their right to file a counter-notice.
• We keep a record of all notices received.

Removal is not a judgment about the merits of the claim. The DMCA requires it as a condition of our safe harbor, and it does not mean we agree with the notice.

4. Filing a counter-notice

If material of yours was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, you may file a counter-notice. It must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material removed and the location 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. Your name, address, and telephone number.
5. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where you live, or, if outside the United States, any district where we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.

Send counter-notices to the same designated agent above.

5. What happens after a counter-notice

We forward your counter-notice to the original complainant. If they do not notify us within ten (10) business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, we may restore the material between ten (10) and fourteen (14) business days after receiving your counter-notice.

6. Repeat infringers

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of clients who are repeat infringers. We evaluate each situation individually, taking into account the number and nature of notices, whether counter-notices were filed, and whether the client responded to earlier warnings.

7. Abuse of this process

We take misuse of the DMCA seriously. Notices filed to suppress competition, silence criticism, or remove content the sender does not actually hold rights to are themselves unlawful under § 512(f). We report patterns of abusive filing to the affected clients so they can pursue their own remedies.

8. Trademark and other claims

The DMCA covers copyright only. For trademark disputes, defamation claims, or other complaints about hosted content, contact legal@digitalnetworkdesigns.com. These are handled case by case and generally require a court order before we will act, because we are not in a position to adjudicate them.
