YourSitee respects the intellectual property rights of creators, organizations, and other rights holders. This policy explains how to report content that you believe infringes copyright, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights, and how to respond if your content was removed following such a report.
This page provides procedural information and does not constitute legal advice. If this policy conflicts with applicable law, the applicable law takes priority.
Operator and company information: YourSitee Impressum YourSitee is operated from Hungary and processes intellectual property notices under applicable Hungarian and European Union law. The United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA, may also apply to certain notices and circumstances.
The DMCA applies to copyright, not every type of intellectual property. Trademark, identity, design, and other rights are handled separately under the relevant section of this policy.

What can be reported?

You may submit a notice regarding material displayed or hosted through YourSitee, including:
  • Profile pictures
  • Banners and background images
  • Image or media widgets
  • Link Widget thumbnails
  • Text and written content
  • Uploaded files
  • Usernames or profile elements that may infringe protected rights
  • Other content displayed directly on a Sitee
If the allegedly infringing material appears only on an external website linked from a Sitee, you should normally also contact the operator or hosting provider of that website. YourSitee may still review the link under its Terms of Service and Community Standards.

Before submitting a notice

Only submit an intellectual property complaint if:
  • You own the relevant rights
  • You are authorized to act for the rights holder
  • You have a reasonable and good-faith basis for the complaint
Before submitting, consider whether the material may be authorized, licensed, in the public domain, or permitted by an applicable copyright exception or limitation.
Do not knowingly submit false, fraudulent, or misleading complaints. Misrepresentation may result in legal liability and may also lead to restrictions on your use of YourSitee’s reporting systems.
Send copyright notices to legal@yoursitee.com. Use the following subject line: Copyright Notice – [affected YourSitee URL]

    • Full legal name
    • Email address
    • Physical or mailing address
    • Telephone number
  2. Your authority to submit the notice

    • Identify the exact image, text, widget, file, or other material
    • Do not submit only a homepage or general domain when a more specific URL is available
  5. An explanation of the alleged infringement
    • Explain why you believe the material infringes your rights
    • Include relevant registration, publication, licensing, or ownership information when available
  6. A good-faith statement Include a statement confirming that you have a good-faith belief that the reported use is not authorized by the rights holder, its representative, or applicable law.
  7. An accuracy and authority statement Confirm that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or are authorized to act on the rights holder’s behalf.
  8. Your signature and the date
    • A physical or valid electronic signature
    • The date of submission
A notice submitted specifically under the United States DMCA must contain the declarations and information required by applicable U.S. law, including any required statement under penalty of perjury.

What happens after a notice is submitted?

YourSitee may:
  • Confirm receipt of the notice
  • Request missing information or supporting evidence
  • Review the content and surrounding context
  • Temporarily restrict access while the matter is investigated
  • Remove or disable access to the reported material
  • Reject an incomplete, unsupported, or invalid notice
  • Notify the affected user
  • Provide the affected user with information about available review or counter-notification procedures
  • Take account-level action where appropriate
Submitting a notice does not guarantee that content or an account will be removed.
We may be unable to process incomplete notices. Providing exact URLs, a clear legal basis, and sufficient supporting information helps us review the complaint efficiently.

Counter-notification

If YourSitee removed or disabled your content following a copyright complaint, and you believe the action resulted from a mistake, misidentification, valid authorization, or another lawful use, you may submit a counter-notification. Send it to legal@yoursitee.com with the subject: Copyright Counter-Notification – [affected YourSitee URL]

Required information

Your counter-notification should include:
  1. Your full legal name and contact information
  2. Identification of the removed or restricted material
  3. The URL where the material previously appeared
  4. A detailed explanation of why the removal was mistaken or incorrect
  5. Any evidence of ownership, permission, licensing, or another lawful basis
  6. A good-faith statement that the content was removed or restricted because of a mistake or misidentification
  7. Your physical or electronic signature
  8. The date of submission
If you are submitting a counter-notification specifically under the United States DMCA, you must also include the jurisdiction, service-of-process, and penalty-of-perjury statements required by applicable U.S. law.
A counter-notification is a legal statement. Do not submit one unless you genuinely believe the removal was mistaken and you are prepared for your information to be shared with the original complainant where legally permitted or required.

What happens after a counter-notification?

YourSitee may:
  • Review the counter-notification for completeness
  • Request additional information
  • Forward it to the original complainant
  • Maintain the restriction while the dispute is reviewed
  • Restore the material where legally and contractually appropriate
  • Require the parties to resolve a complex ownership dispute through the appropriate legal process
YourSitee does not determine final ownership of intellectual property in the same way as a court. Where the United States DMCA procedure applies, the applicable statutory process and timelines may govern the possible restoration of content.

Trademark and other intellectual property complaints

The DMCA process does not apply to trademark, design, trade name, publicity, personality, or other non-copyright claims. To report another intellectual property issue, email legal@yoursitee.com with the subject: Intellectual Property Complaint – [type of right] Include:
  • Your full name and contact information
  • The rights holder’s identity
  • Confirmation that you are authorized to submit the complaint
  • A description of the protected right
  • Registration numbers and jurisdictions, where applicable
  • Evidence supporting ownership or protection
  • The exact YourSitee URLs involved
  • A clear explanation of the alleged infringement
  • The action you are requesting
  • A good-faith and accuracy statement
  • Your signature and the date
Complex trademark, ownership, identity, or contractual disputes may require additional documentation, a court decision, or action by another competent authority.

Repeat and serious infringement

YourSitee may take enforcement action against accounts involved in intellectual property infringement. Depending on the nature, severity, context, and history of the conduct, we may:
  • Remove or restrict content
  • Limit account features
  • Temporarily suspend an account
  • Permanently ban an account
Repeated infringement may result in permanent account termination. A single serious or deliberate infringement may also justify immediate permanent action without requiring previous violations.

Misrepresentation and abuse

Copyright and intellectual property procedures must not be used to:
  • Harass another user
  • Censor lawful criticism or commentary
  • Resolve unrelated personal disputes
  • Obtain personal information
  • Submit claims concerning rights you do not own or represent
  • Interfere with lawful competition
  • Abuse YourSitee’s moderation systems
YourSitee may reject abusive notices and take action against accounts that repeatedly or deliberately misuse the process. Where applicable, knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a DMCA notice or counter-notification may result in liability under United States law.

Personal data and confidentiality

Information submitted through a notice or counter-notification is processed for purposes including:
  • Investigating the claim
  • Communicating with the parties
  • Complying with legal obligations
  • Establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims
  • Protecting the rights and security of YourSitee and its users
A notice or counter-notification may be shared with:
  • The user whose content was reported
  • The original complainant
  • Legal advisers
  • Service providers involved in processing the request
  • Courts, authorities, or law enforcement where legally required
Do not include unnecessary sensitive personal information. Use professional or business contact details where appropriate, and do not send identity documents unless YourSitee specifically requests them.

Frequently asked questions

A: Generally, no. A valid notice normally requires enough identity and contact information to establish your authority and allow the matter to be processed.

Q: Can I use the DMCA process for a trademark complaint?

A: No. The DMCA is a copyright procedure. Submit trademark and other intellectual property complaints under the separate process described above.

Q: Does submitting a notice guarantee removal?

A: No. YourSitee reviews the available information and may request further evidence before taking action.

Q: Will the affected user receive my notice?

A: A copy or summary of the notice may be shared with the affected user where legally permitted or required. This may include identifying and contact information.

Q: Can YourSitee decide who legally owns a work or trademark?

A: YourSitee can enforce its policies and respond to legally sufficient notices, but complex ownership disputes may need to be resolved by a court or another competent authority.

Q: What should I do if the infringement is on another website?

A: Contact the operator or hosting provider of the website where the material is displayed. You may also report the YourSitee link if it separately violates our rules.
