1. Our Commitment to Intellectual Property
Spexo respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users, contributors, and partners to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and will respond promptly to properly submitted notices of alleged copyright infringement.
2. Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to all original content published on Spexo, including our written articles, page copy, diagrams, and design assets, as well as to any user-submitted content we may publish (for example, through our Write for Us program). It does not apply to advertising creative served by third-party ad networks, which are governed by those networks' own policies.
3. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe that content on Spexo infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our designated agent that includes all of the following:
| # | Requirement |
|---|---|
| 1 | A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf |
| 2 | Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed |
| 3 | Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail (e.g. a URL) for us to locate it |
| 4 | Your contact information — name, address, telephone number, and email address |
| 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 information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner |
Send completed notices to dmca@spexo.net with the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice."
4. What Happens After We Receive a Notice
Upon receiving a complete and valid notice, we will:
- Review the claim and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the material identified;
- Notify the party who posted or is responsible for the material, where applicable;
- Document the notice and our response for our internal records.
Incomplete notices may delay processing. We reserve the right to reject notices that do not meet the requirements above.
5. Counter-Notification
If you believe material you posted or that identifies you was removed in error or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification 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 as a result of mistake or misidentification;
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district.
Send counter-notifications to the same address above with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notification."
6. Repeat Infringer Policy
In appropriate circumstances, Spexo will terminate the ability of contributors who are repeat infringers to submit further content to the Service.
7. False Claims
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages. Please make sure you are certain content is infringing before submitting a notice.
8. Contact Our Designated Agent
DMCA notices and counter-notifications should be sent to: dmca@spexo.net. For all other matters, please use our general Contact page.
9. Good-Faith Review & Supporting Information
To help us process a copyright complaint efficiently, provide clear identification of the work, the allegedly infringing material and the location where it appears. We may request clarification when a notice is incomplete or ambiguous.
10. User-Submitted Material
Where Spexo accepts reviews, articles, images, or other submissions, contributors should only submit material they have the right to provide. A submission does not remove the copyright owner's rights, and Spexo may moderate or remove material in accordance with applicable law and our policies.
11. Policy Updates
We may update this procedure as our publishing workflows or legal requirements change. The current version published on this page controls for notices submitted after an update.
