We make every effort to use only content that is original, properly licensed, or in the public domain. However, despite these efforts, mistakes can happen. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used or displayed on our website www.dates.business without proper authorization, we sincerely apologize and want to correct the situation promptly.

This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy explains how copyright owners can notify us of alleged infringements and how we respond to such notices.

What Is the DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States law enacted in 1998 that provides guidelines for online service providers regarding copyright infringement claims. Even though Dates.Business operates internationally, we follow DMCA principles as an industry standard.

Under the DMCA:

  • Copyright holders can request removal of infringing material.

  • Service providers (like us) must act promptly to avoid liability.

  • Users who believe their content was wrongly removed can submit a counter-notice.

  1. Your Full Name – The legal name of the individual filing the claim.

  2. Organization Name – If you represent a company or entity, include its official name.

  3. Contact Information – Your email address, phone number, and physical mailing address.

  4. Identification of the Infringing Material – The specific URL(s) on our website where the infringing content appears.

Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that material removed from our website was taken down in error, you may submit a counter-notification. This process allows content owners to dispute removal when they believe the use of the content was lawful (for example, under “fair use”).

A counter-notification must include:

  1. Your full name, address, telephone number, and email.

  2. Identification of the content that was removed and its location before removal.

  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the removal was due to mistake or misidentification.

  5. Your electronic or physical signature.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material unless the original complainant files legal action within a specified timeframe.
