Copyright & DMCA Policy
Last updated:
ReviewWizzard respects intellectual property rights. This policy explains how to report copyright infringement on our platform and how to submit a counter-notice if your content was removed in error.
1. Our commitment to copyright compliance
ReviewWizzard respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our platform to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and equivalent copyright laws in other jurisdictions.
If you believe that content published on ReviewWizzard infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice using the procedure described in this policy. We will investigate all valid notices and take appropriate action.
2. What content this policy covers
This policy covers copyright infringement claims relating to content submitted by users of ReviewWizzard, including review text, images uploaded to business profiles, and any other user-generated content published on the platform.
This policy does not cover disputes about the accuracy or fairness of reviews. Review content disputes are handled under our Review Dispute Policy at reviewwizzard.com/dispute-policy.
3. How to submit a DMCA takedown notice
To submit a valid DMCA takedown notice, please send a written notice to info@reviewwizzard.com with the subject line 'DMCA Takedown Notice'. Your notice must include all of the following:
1. Your full legal name and contact information (address, telephone number, and email address). 2. A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. 3. The specific URL(s) on ReviewWizzard where the allegedly infringing content appears. 4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. 5. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner. 6. Your physical or electronic signature.
Incomplete notices will not be actioned. Submitting a false DMCA notice may expose you to liability under the DMCA, including costs and attorneys' fees.
4. What happens after we receive a valid notice
Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, ReviewWizzard will: promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content; notify the user who submitted the content that it has been removed; and provide that user with a copy of the takedown notice (with your personal contact information redacted where possible).
We aim to process valid takedown notices within 5 business days of receipt.
5. Counter-notice procedure
If your content was removed in response to a DMCA takedown notice and you believe the removal was made in error — for example, because you have a licence to use the material, or because the material is not protected by copyright — you may submit a counter-notice.
To submit a counter-notice, please send a written notice to info@reviewwizzard.com with the subject line 'DMCA Counter-Notice'. Your counter-notice must include: your full legal name and contact information; identification of the content that was removed and its location before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; your consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which ReviewWizzard may be found); and your physical or electronic signature.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, ReviewWizzard will forward it to the original complainant and may restore the removed content within 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action.
6. Repeat infringers
ReviewWizzard will terminate the accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights in appropriate circumstances.
7. Designated copyright agent
All DMCA notices and counter-notices should be sent to our designated copyright agent at: ReviewWizzard Copyright Agent, GCT Services International L.L.C - FZ, Email: info@reviewwizzard.com. Please use the subject line 'DMCA Notice' or 'DMCA Counter-Notice' as appropriate.
