Submitting a Copyright Infringement Notice
If you believe that third-party material hosted by, posted on, or accessible through Textok's online products, websites or services (including but not limited to the Textok SaaS online tool and the ToV automation service) infringes your copyright rights, please send a notice of infringement to Textok by email at [email protected].
Please include:
1.
A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed;
2.
Identification of works or materials being infringed;

Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the copyright owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that we are capable of finding and verifying its existence;

If an appropriate and valid counter-notice is received, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party.
In some cases (e.g. the copyright owner does not file an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user), the removed material or access to it may be restored after receipt of a counter-notice.
