DMCA & Copyright
Notice and takedown procedure
1. How it works
2. Filing a takedown notice
To be actionable, your notice must include the following (DMCA §512(c)(3)):
- your signature (electronic is fine), as the rights owner or an authorized agent;
- identification of the copyrighted work concerned;
- the exact URL(s) of the RetroVault entries at issue, sufficient to locate them;
- your full contact details: name, organization, postal address, phone, email;
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law;
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the rights owner.
3. Designated agent
Send your notice to contact@retrovault.ch (subject: « DMCA »), or use the form below choosing the « DMCA / Rights » reason.
The designated agent's full postal details are registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory and provided on request.
4. How we handle it
We acknowledge within 24-48 hours. Once a request is verified, the entry is unpublished and the links removed, usually within 5 business days. Since no file is hosted by RetroVault, removal covers the entry and the link; for the file itself, contact the platform hosting it.
5. Counter-notification
If you believe a removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to contact@retrovault.ch. It must include: your signature; identification of the removed content and its URL; a statement under penalty of perjury that the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification; your contact details and your consent to the jurisdiction of the competent court. Content may be restored within 10-14 business days if the original complainant does not take action.
6. Repeat infringers
7. Misrepresentations
