Copyright Policy and DMCA Notices

Merchants and other users must have the rights needed to upload and use their content. This policy describes how to raise a copyright concern about material hosted or made available through litecommerce and how an affected user can respond.

A merchant may operate its own storefront and infrastructure. Identify the exact material and location in your report so we can determine which parts of the service are involved. Questions about orders, delivery, or product quality should go to the merchant. Other abuse concerns can be reported under our Acceptable Use Policy.

A copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner can submit a report. Identify the rights you hold and consider whether the use is permitted by a license or an exception such as fair use.

A notice seeking action under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act should contain the following information.

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work. For multiple works at one site, a representative list can be used.
3. Identification of the material you want removed or restricted, with exact URLs or other details sufficient to locate it.
4. Your name and contact details, including a mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement of your good-faith belief that the use lacks authorization from the rights holder, their representative, or applicable law.
6. Confirmation that the report is accurate and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner of the allegedly infringed exclusive right.

Send correspondence using the copyright contact details below. Clearly identify it as a copyright notice.

We review the information supplied and may ask for missing details or clarification. For a valid notice involving infringing material we host or control, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material as appropriate and promptly notify the affected user.

We may share the notice and relevant contact information with the affected user so they can understand and respond to the claim. Include the information needed to assess it and avoid unrelated personal information or credentials. Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle correspondence.

If your material was removed or disabled through the U.S. DMCA process and you believe this resulted from a mistake or misidentification, you can submit a counter-notice. A counter-notice should include the following information.

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed or disabled material and where it appeared before the action.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, of your good-faith belief that a mistake or misidentification caused the removal.
4. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number.
5. Your consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the district containing your address. If you are outside the United States, give consent for any federal district in which the service provider may be found.
6. A statement that you will accept service of process from the original notice sender or their agent.

Clearly identify the message as a counter-notice and relate it to the original removal notice. Provide an email address for follow-up. We will send a copy of a valid counter-notice to the original claimant, including the identifying and contact information it contains.

For material handled under the U.S. DMCA process, we will notify the original claimant of a valid counter-notice and the proposed restoration. The statutory replacement period is at least 10 and at most 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice. Restoration follows that process unless we first receive notice that the claimant has filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement.

Separate restrictions can still apply when material or account activity independently violates the Terms, Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law. We will explain the relevant basis where lawful and practicable.

We will terminate access for repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances and may restrict affected services. Reports, counter-notices, and other relevant information can inform that assessment.

Copyright notices and counter-notices are formal legal communications. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation can result in liability for damages, costs, and legal fees. Obtain legal advice if you need help assessing ownership, permitted use, or the consequences of a notice.

Use our contact form or send written correspondence to the address below. Include "Copyright notice" or "Counter-notice" and the affected store or material so the correspondence can be routed appropriately.

The U.S. Copyright Office explains the notice-and-takedown system and provides resources for rights holders and people whose content was removed. The statute is available at 17 U.S.C. § 512.
