1. What this document is

This document is addressed to you as a copyright owner who believes a listing on this service infringes your copyright, and to you as a sponsor whose listing has been taken down on such a claim. It states how we handle notices and counter-notices under 17 U.S.C. § 512 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512) and names the agent who receives them. We rely on the safe harbours in 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) (for the title, description, image, icon and text we store at a sponsor's direction) and § 512(d) (for the link to the destination).

A notice is a written claim of infringement that meets section 3; a counter-notice is a sponsor's written answer that meets section 5; the designated agent is the person named in section 2; a takedown is our act of suspending the listing a notice identifies.

Trademarks and other rights that are not copyright are handled under the IP Complaint Process. The public "Report a listing" form has no copyright category by design, and a claim sent through it is read as an ordinary report: send copyright notices to the designated agent.

2. Designated agent

Designated agent for notices of claimed infringement:

  • Copyright Agent, Moretime.ai
  • 5900 Balcones Drive, Ste 100, Austin, TX 78731
  • Phone: 7134465983
  • Email: hi@moretime.ai

The agent's details above are published here and registered in the Copyright Office's DMCA Designated Agent Directory (https://dmca.copyright.gov/) as designation DMCA-1080457, as 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2) requires, and we keep both current. Send notices and counter-notices to the designated agent, not through the "Report a listing" form.

3. Sending a notice — the checklist

To be effective, your notice must be a written communication to the designated agent that includes substantially all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A)):

  1. Your signature, physical or electronic, as a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. The copyrighted work you claim is infringed — or, if one notice covers several works at one online site, a representative list of those works at that site.
  3. The material you claim is infringing, and enough information for us to find it: the board's URL (https://onthelist.live/<slug>), the listing's destination address or sponsor name, and whether the claim is about the listing's image, its text, or the destination page itself.
  4. How to contact you: an address, a telephone number and, if you have one, an email address.
  5. A good-faith statement: that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner you complain of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. An accuracy statement, under penalty of perjury: that the information in the notice is accurate, and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

If your notice is incomplete we tell you what is missing, once, at the contact details you gave; we may read it as a report, but it does not by itself take a listing down. Know what you are pointing at: a listing here is a destination address plus the title, description and image that destination publishes in its own tags, or an icon and short text the sponsor supplied. We host those, not the destination page; a notice about the page itself should also go to whoever hosts it.

4. What we do on a valid notice

  • We take the listing down promptly. The listing is suspended: it leaves the board, its rank is withheld, and its link on this site stops sending visitors on. A suspension is reversible — the listing keeps its bid total and can be reinstated. The listing, and with it any image or icon named in the notice, stops being shown. A stored image file stays at its own address until it is deleted, so our staff delete the file by hand as part of the takedown. A board logo named in a notice is removed by our staff, who delete its file.
  • We tell the sponsor. A person on our staff promptly emails the sponsor at the email address their listing is registered to — the address that paid for it — with a copy of your notice (contact details included) and of this document, so they can send a counter-notice if they choose. A notice about a board's logo or a house entry goes to the host's account address instead, and what this document says of a sponsor's counter-notice applies to the host's.
  • We record it. The takedown, the notice and the date go on the listing's history and our audit log, for the evidence period stated in the Privacy Policy.
  • We tell you that the listing has been taken down, at the contact details in your notice.

5. Sending a counter-notice — the checklist

If your listing was taken down and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the designated agent. To be effective it must be a written communication that includes substantially all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):

  1. Your signature, physical or electronic.
  2. The material that was taken down, and where it appeared before it was taken down: the board's URL and your listing's destination address.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  4. Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located — or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice, or their agent.

Send it from the email address your listing is registered to, or tell us how to confirm it comes from the listing's owner.

6. What we do on a valid counter-notice

  • We forward it. We promptly send the person who sent the notice a copy of your counter-notice and tell them we will restore the listing in 10 business days (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2)(B)).
  • We restore the listing not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving your counter-notice — unless the designated agent first receives notice from the person who sent the notice that they have filed a court action seeking an order to restrain you from the infringing activity on this service (§ 512(g)(2)(C)); then the listing stays down until the court decides or the parties tell us the matter is settled.
  • What "restore" means here. Restoring is reinstating the suspended listing: it returns to the board at the rank its bid total holds, and its link sends visitors on again. That is possible only while its round is still open. An ended round is settled into a Round Archive that is never re-ranked: if the round ended while the listing was suspended, the listing does not appear in that archive, cannot be put back into it, and the archive carries no note of the takedown. The remedy is then section 8's refund.
  • What "restore" does to a deleted image. Reinstating changes the listing's status and nothing else; it brings no file back. An image we fetched from the destination is fetched again the next time the listing's details are refreshed — after a later bid on it, once its refresh window has passed — and is stored again if the destination still publishes it. An icon the sponsor uploaded, and a board logo the host uploaded, are never fetched by us: a deleted one stays gone until the sponsor or the host uploads it again.
  • After the round has ended. The Round Archive shows the listing's title and destination as they were when the round ended, with no image; it is never edited, so infringing text in an archived row cannot be changed or removed from the page. The stored image file of the round it was in can still be deleted by our staff, by hand.

7. Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, sponsors and hosts who are repeat infringers, as 17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(1)(A) requires:

  • Who a sponsor is. A sponsor is identified by the email address they bid with — the address that paid: every listing is registered to the address of its first paying bidder, every bid carries that address, and a sponsor account, where one exists, is keyed on it. That address is verified only in the sense the Privacy Policy gives the word. We also hold, on every bid, the IP address and device fingerprint captured at checkout, for the evidence period the Privacy Policy states; a person deciding whether a new address is a terminated sponsor returning may read them. We hold no card numbers and do not identify a sponsor by their card.
  • Who a host is. A host is identified by their host account — the organisation the board belongs to, with the people who are members of it. A host uploads a board's logo, writes its house entries and names the board, and a notice about any of those is a notice about the host.
  • The counter-notice period. It runs for 10 business days from the day we notify the sponsor or the host of the takedown under section 4.
  • What counts. A takedown is substantiated when the counter-notice period passes with no counter-notice, or when a court decides for the copyright owner; one that ends in restoration does not count. A removal under the IP Complaint Process counts in the same way, on that document's own terms.
  • The threshold for a sponsor. A sponsor with two substantiated takedowns in any twelve months is terminated: their sponsor account is disabled, their live sessions are ended, and the address is refused at every future bid on every board. We may terminate on a single flagrant infringement.
  • The threshold for a host. A host with two substantiated takedowns in any twelve months — of a logo or a house entry here, or of a board's logo or name under the IP Complaint Process — is stopped from operating: every one of their boards keeps its page, its live round and every placement on it, but takes no new bid, and the host can neither publish a board nor open a new one. A host who starts again under another host account is treated as the same host.
  • What termination does not do. It moves no money: the infringing listings are removed under section 8, and any other placement the sponsor paid for stands until its round ends. A terminated sponsor who bids again from another address is treated as the same sponsor. Stopping a host moves no money either: every sponsor keeps the rank they paid for until their round ends.

We accommodate, and do not interfere with, standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect works (17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(1)(B)).

8. Money

Whether a takedown is refunded depends on why the listing came down; the Refund Policy states the rule.

  • A listing removed because its sponsor infringed is not refunded (row 2). We make that removal when the takedown becomes final under section 7.
  • A listing taken down on a notice that turns out to be wrong — a mistaken or misidentified claim, a withdrawn notice, or a counter-notice that stands after the round ended — is refunded in full or pro-rated for the time lost, except the card processing (row 4), issued by a person on platform staff once you write to us under the Refund Policy's "How to ask", naming the notice.
  • While a listing is suspended, nothing has been decided about the money. Being outbid while it was down is not a refund ground (row 1).

9. Misrepresentation

Any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was taken down by mistake or misidentification, is liable for the damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — of anyone injured by our reliance on that misrepresentation (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)). A knowingly false notice or counter-notice may also end the sender's access to this service.

10. Changes to this document

We may change this document. A change is published at /legal/dmca with a new version and effective date. A change of designated agent is made here and in the Copyright Office's directory together, and notices sent to the previous details in the meantime are honoured.
