DMCA

1. About This DMCA Policy

This policy describes the process Driesbrewing uses to receive and review notices alleging copyright infringement on Driesbrewing.com. It is intended to help copyright owners identify reported material and provide the information needed for a meaningful review.

Copyright may protect original works such as product photography, illustrations, artwork, written content, graphics, videos, and other qualifying creative materials. A copyright complaint should identify the specific work involved and the material alleged to infringe it.

We review notices based on the information provided and the circumstances of each case. Where appropriate, we may remove or restrict access to reported material, request additional information, or take other steps consistent with applicable requirements.

This policy does not determine copyright ownership conclusively or replace any legal process available to the parties involved.

2. What Can Be Reported?

Unauthorized use of photographs or images

You may submit a notice if you own or are authorized to represent the copyright in a photograph, illustration, product image, or other visual work that you believe has been used on our website without authorization.

Copied text or written materials

A notice may concern original product descriptions, articles, written content, or other copyright-protected text that you believe has been copied and displayed without permission.

Artwork, graphics, and other creative works

You may also report other copyright-protected material, including original artwork, designs, graphics, and qualifying digital content. Please identify the work and the specific material you want us to review.

3. Who May Submit a DMCA Notice?

A DMCA notice should be submitted by the copyright owner or by an agent authorized to act on the owner's behalf. The person submitting the notice should have a good-faith basis for believing that the identified use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.

Copyright owners

If you own the copyright, identify yourself and describe the original work you believe has been infringed. Include information that helps us distinguish your work from other similar material.

Authorized representatives

If you are submitting a notice for another person or organization, identify the copyright owner, explain your relationship to them, and confirm that you are authorized to submit the notice. We may request additional information if needed.

Reports from other parties

If you believe material may infringe someone else's copyright but are not authorized to submit a formal notice on their behalf, you may contact us with relevant information. We may review the information, but it may not qualify as a formal DMCA notice.

4. Required Information for a DMCA Notice

A formal DMCA takedown notice generally needs to include the information listed below. Providing complete and specific details helps us identify the work, locate the reported material, and assess the request.

Please ensure that your notice is accurate and complete. Missing information may delay review or prevent us from treating a submission as a formal DMCA notice.

5. How to Submit a Takedown Notice

Send your copyright complaint to our customer support email address with the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice." Include the required information described in this policy and make sure the reported material can be located.

Step 1: Identify the copyrighted work

Describe the original work you own or are authorized to represent. Where available, provide a link to the original publication, a copy of the work, registration details, or other information that helps establish what the work is.

Step 2: Identify the allegedly infringing material

Include the direct URL for each reported page or item. If the material appears within a larger page, explain where it can be found. General descriptions without specific locations may not be sufficient for us to identify it.

Step 3: Provide the required statements

Include the good-faith and accuracy statements required for a formal notice, along with your signature and contact information.

Step 4: Send your notice

Email the complete notice to support@driesbrewing.com. Please use the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice" so our team can identify the nature of your inquiry.

Step 5: Respond to any follow-up questions

We may contact you if information is missing, unclear, or needed to assess the reported material. Please respond with relevant details if you want us to continue reviewing your notice.

6. Review of DMCA Notices

When we receive a copyright complaint, we assess the information submitted to determine whether the reported material can be identified and whether the notice contains the information needed for review.

What happens after a notice is received?

Depending on the circumstances, our review may include:

• Checking whether the reported URL or content can be located.
• Reviewing the description of the copyrighted work and the alleged infringement.
• Checking whether required information or statements are missing.
• Requesting clarification or additional supporting details.
• Removing or restricting access to material when appropriate under applicable requirements.
• Notifying relevant parties where appropriate and permitted.

How long does the review take?

Review times may vary depending on the completeness of the notice, the amount of material involved, and whether further information is required. We do not guarantee a specific processing time for every submission.

Will every notice result in removal?

No. A notice may require additional information or may not provide a sufficient basis for action. We may decline to act on incomplete, unclear, or unsupported submissions, subject to any obligations that apply in the circumstances.

7. Counter-Notification Process

If your content has been removed or access has been restricted because of a DMCA notice and you believe the action resulted from a mistake or misidentification, you may be able to submit a counter-notification.

What should a counter-notification include?

A formal counter-notification under the DMCA generally requires specific information, which may include:

• Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and its location before removal.
• A statement made under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, and telephone number.
• The required consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal district court and acceptance of service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent, as applicable.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

How do I submit a counter-notification?

Email your response to support@driesbrewing.com with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notification." Identify the affected material and include the information required for a formal counter-notification.

What happens after a counter-notification?

If a submission meets the applicable requirements, we may follow the procedures required by the DMCA, including forwarding the counter-notification to the original complainant where applicable. Restoration of material is not automatic and depends on the circumstances and applicable procedural requirements.

8. Repeat Infringement

Driesbrewing takes repeated copyright infringement concerns seriously. Where appropriate and supported by the circumstances, we may consider prior valid notices and repeated instances of allegedly infringing activity when deciding what action to take.

Depending on the situation, actions may include removing or restricting access to reported material or taking other appropriate steps consistent with applicable requirements.

Any assessment of repeat infringement will depend on the available information, the nature of the reports, and the circumstances of the matter. We do not treat every complaint as proof of infringement.

9. Misrepresentation and False Claims

DMCA notices and counter-notifications should be submitted in good faith and should contain accurate information. Before submitting a notice, make sure you own the copyright or are authorized to act on behalf of the relevant rights holder.

Knowingly making material misrepresentations that content is infringing, or that content was removed or disabled by mistake, may result in legal consequences under applicable law.

Please do not use this process to resolve unrelated commercial disagreements, make unsupported demands, or seek removal of material solely because you disagree with its content.

Driesbrewing may consider the completeness, accuracy, and apparent good faith of a submission when reviewing a complaint or response.

10. Third-Party Content and External Websites

Our website may refer to third-party brands, products, services, or websites. The presence of a third-party name, link, or reference does not necessarily mean that Driesbrewing owns or controls the associated content.

If your concern relates to content hosted entirely on an external website, you may need to submit a separate notice to the website operator or hosting provider responsible for that material.

If the allegedly infringing content appears on Driesbrewing.com, please identify the specific URL and explain how it relates to your copyrighted work. We will review the material within our control.

11. Privacy and Record Handling

Information submitted with a DMCA notice or counter-notification may be used to review the complaint, identify the relevant material, communicate with the parties involved, and handle related disputes or procedural requirements.

Please provide only information relevant to your copyright complaint or response. Avoid sending passwords, payment card information, or unrelated sensitive personal details.

Where necessary and appropriate, information may be shared with the person who submitted the original notice, the person whose content is affected, professional advisers, or other relevant parties as part of the review process or as required by applicable procedures.

We may retain related correspondence and records as reasonably necessary to document our handling of a report, address disputes, and meet applicable requirements, subject to our Privacy Policy.

12. No Legal Advice

This DMCA Policy describes the general process Driesbrewing uses to receive and review copyright notices. It is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice.

Whether a particular use infringes copyright depends on the facts and applicable law. Driesbrewing's internal review does not constitute a final legal determination of ownership or infringement.

If you are unsure whether you should submit a takedown notice or counter-notification, consider consulting a qualified legal professional before taking action.

13. Changes to This DMCA Policy

We may update this DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, internal procedures, or applicable requirements.

The revised version will be published on this page. We encourage visitors, copyright owners, and affected parties to review the policy periodically.

Any revision will apply subject to applicable requirements and will not remove rights or protections that cannot legally be excluded.

14. Contact Driesbrewing
