Squarespace responds to all valid copyright infringement notifications in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA,” 17 U.S.C. § 512).

If you believe, in good faith, that someone wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, you may submit a counter-notification.

To submit a counter-notification, please respond to our original email notification of removal with the following information:

Identification of the removed or inaccessible material.
Where the material appeared before it was removed or became inaccessible (you can use the description in the copyright infringement notification).
Your name, address, and telephone number.
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or the federal district courts located in New York County, New York if your address is outside of the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of such Person.
The following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”
A physical or electronic signature (you can type in your full name).

After receiving a valid counter-notification, Squarespace will send it to the notifying party who submitted the original notice of infringement. The notifying party has ten business days to notify us that they’ve filed legal action relating to the allegedly infringing material. If we don’t receive this notification within ten business days, the material may be restored.
