DMCA & Copyright Policy

The Top Finds respects intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the Site infringes a copyright you own or control, you may send us a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).

1. How to send a takedown notice

Send a written notice to our designated copyright agent (see contact details below). To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are involved.
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (URLs work best).
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 of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Misrepresentations in a DMCA notice can subject you to liability for damages, costs, and attorneys' fees under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

2. What we'll do

When we receive a valid notice we will, in our discretion: remove or disable access to the material, notify the person who posted it (if different from the notifier), and keep a record of the notice for our repeat-infringer policy.

3. Counter-notice

If you posted material that has been removed in error or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been 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 by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which you live (or, if outside the US, the District of Delaware), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original takedown notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notice we may, in our discretion, restore the material 10–14 business days after notifying the original notifier, unless they file a court action against you to restrain the activity.

4. Repeat infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the access of users who are repeat infringers.

5. Designated copyright agent

Send notices to our designated agent:

DMCA Agent — The Top Finds
Email: dmca@the-top-finds.com
Subject line: "DMCA notice" or "DMCA counter-notice"

We will publish our designated agent's postal address and add it to the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA agent directory before accepting user-submitted content.
