Send notices and counter-notices with the forms below, or to the agent by email or post. The agent only handles copyright notices; for anything else, write to support@markloc.tech or report abuse.

Send a copyright notice

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a notice of claimed infringement must be a written communication that includes all of the following:

1. 1A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. 2Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed or, if a single notice covers several works, a representative list of them.
3. 3Identification of the material claimed to be infringing that is to be removed, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it: on Light Share, the web link (lightshare.markloc.tech/d/…) or its id, without the part after #.
4. 4Information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you: your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
5. 5A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. 6A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

A notice that leaves out any of these may not be acted on. When we receive a complete notice, we remove the link or disable access to it, and the sender's app shows that the link was removed after a copyright notice, with the way to send a counter-notice. Because we can't open the files, we act on the links you name.

Counter-notice

If a link of yours was removed after a copyright notice and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), it must include:

1. 1Your physical or electronic signature.
2. 2Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and where it appeared before: the link, without the part after #.
3. 3A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. 4Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Light Share may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice or their agent.

What happens next:

• We promptly forward a copy of your counter-notice, including your name and contact details, to the person who sent the original notice, and tell them we will restore access in 10 business days.
• We restore access no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after we receive your counter-notice, unless the person who sent the notice first tells us they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you from the claimed infringement.
• Unless such a court action is filed, the copyright strike is withdrawn from your account. A link that ended in the meantime (it expired, or its files were already deleted) can't come back; you can share the files again in a new link.

The §512(f) warning above applies to counter-notices too. If you are outside the United States, sending a counter-notice means accepting the jurisdiction described above.

Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright.

• Every link we remove after a valid copyright notice gives the sender's account a copyright strike, unless a counter-notice reverses it. Copyright strikes are counted separately from strikes for other abuse.
• An account with 3 upheld copyright strikes within 12 months is terminated: every link it shared stops working and it can no longer use Internet mode.
• Each strike expires 12 months after it was given.

European Union: notice and action

Under Article 16 of the EU Digital Services Act, anyone can tell us about content on Light Share they consider illegal. Use the notice form above for copyright, or report abuse for anything else, with the link, why you consider it illegal, and your name and email (a report of child sexual abuse material can be anonymous). We handle notices in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective manner, and tell you what we decided when you give us your email.

When we remove a link or restrict an account, we give the person affected a statement of reasons under Article 17: what we did and how far it goes, the facts and circumstances we relied on, whether automated means were involved (links reported by several people are held for review automatically), the law or the part of our Terms of Service it rests on, and how to contest it.
