DMCA takedown template

Fog Hour respects copyright. Editorial sources are processed for facts — a venue's name, a price, a schedule — which are not copyrightable; we never republish article text, and deals sourced from editorial coverage link back to the source. User-uploaded photos are licensed to us by the uploader, who warrants the right to share them.

If you believe content on Fog Hour infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent:

DMCA agent — Fog Hour Email: dmca@foghour.app (Registration of this agent with the US Copyright Office is completed as part of our public launch; the mailing address is available on request via the same email.)

A valid notice must include

1. Your physical or electronic signature (or that of the authorized agent acting for you).
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed.
3. The Fog Hour URL or deal ID of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it.
4. Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for them.

What we do with a valid notice

We respond within 10 business days: removing or disabling the cited material, notifying the user who submitted it (for user-submitted content), and recording the takedown in an internal register.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, send a counter-notice to the same agent containing: your signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that the removal was a mistake or misidentification; your name, address, and phone; and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where you reside (or the Northern District of California if you are outside the United States). We will forward the counter-notice to the original complainant and may restore the material after 10 business days unless they notify us that they have filed a court action.

Repeat infringers

Accounts that are the subject of repeated valid takedown notices will be terminated.
