DMCA policy

Band Name Generator respects the intellectual property of others and expects visitors to do the same. If you believe something on the site infringes your copyright, this page explains how to notify us under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512.

Sending a takedown notice

To be effective, your written notice needs to contain all of the following:

1. Your signature, physical or electronic, as the owner or as a person authorised to act for the owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers several works.
3. Information that lets us locate the material you object to, such as the exact URL of each page on band-name-generator.org.
4. How to reach you: your name, address, telephone number and email.
5. Your good-faith statement that the use complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, an agent or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

Contact for notices

Send notices by email to [email protected], with “DMCA notice” in the subject line. We handle notices promptly, and if a notice is valid, the material is removed or access to it is disabled. A notice missing any of the elements above may not be actionable, so please check it carefully.

Counter-notification

Anyone whose material was removed by mistake or misidentification may send a counter-notice to the same email address, containing:

• a physical or electronic signature;
• a description of the removed material and the location where it appeared;
• a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith that the removal was due to a mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address and telephone number, together with your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or any judicial district where the service provider may be found, if you are outside the United States) and your agreement to accept service of process from the complainant.

After a valid counter-notice, the material may be restored in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days, unless the original complainant tells us they have filed a court action.

Misrepresentation

Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act provides that knowingly and materially misrepresenting infringement, or a mistaken removal, can lead to liability for damages, costs and attorneys' fees. If you are unsure whether a use is infringing, for example because it may be fair use, consider seeking legal advice before you send a notice.

Policy on repeat infringers

Although the site does not host user uploads or accounts, in appropriate circumstances we will block access for repeat infringers.
