DMCA & Notice-and-Takedown Policy

Scribbla.com Ltd respects copyright and responds to valid notices of infringement under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and to equivalent notices under EU Directive 2000/31/EC (e-Commerce), the EU Digital Services Act, and the UK Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002. This page explains how to send a notice, our counter-notice flow, and how we handle repeat infringers.

1. Designated agent

2. Notice requirements

A valid notice must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with a URL or other locator sufficient to find it on Scribbla.
• Your contact information (address, telephone number, email).
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A 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.

Incomplete notices may be refused. Submitting false claims may result in legal liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) or equivalents.

3. Counter-notice

If you believe your content was removed or disabled in error or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to admin@scribbla.com containing:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material removed and its location before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed in error.
• Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or, if outside the US, of England & Wales) and accept service from the original complainant.

On a valid counter-notice we forward it to the original complainant. If they do not file a court action within 10–14 business days, we may restore the content.

4. EU & UK equivalence

For users outside the US, the same procedures apply as a notice-and -takedown mechanism under the EU e-Commerce framework, the EU Digital Services Act (Art. 16) and the UK Electronic Commerce Regulations 2002. We will act expeditiously on receipt of a sufficiently substantiated notice and provide a statement of reasons to the affected user as required by Art. 17 DSA.

5. Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We may also remove content and restrict features earlier where the pattern of conduct warrants it. See our Acceptable Use Policy.

6. Records

We keep records of notices, counter-notices and resulting actions for at least 3 years, in line with our record-keeping duties under the UK Online Safety Act 2023 and the EU DSA.
