DMCA Policy

Cowboy Caviar respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), the text of which can be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website, Cowboy Caviar will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Cowboy Caviar service if such claims are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a notice ("DMCA Notice") containing the information outlined below to our Designated Copyright Agent.

Filing a DMCA Infringement Notification

To file a DMCA infringement notification with Cowboy Caviar, you must provide a written communication (by email is acceptable) that includes substantially the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Cowboy Caviar to locate the material (e.g., a specific URL where the material is located).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Cowboy Caviar to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has 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. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please send your DMCA Notice to our Designated Copyright Agent via our contact page, selecting "DMCA Copyright Infringement" as the subject.

Filing a DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe that your material has been removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with Cowboy Caviar by providing a written communication (by email is acceptable) that includes substantially the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location (e.g., specific URL) at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  • A 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number.
  • 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 of the United States, for any judicial district in which Cowboy Caviar may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.

Please send your DMCA Counter-Notification to our Designated Copyright Agent via our contact page, selecting "DMCA Counter-Notification" as the subject.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, Cowboy Caviar will forward it to the original complaining party. If the complaining party does not file an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user within 10 to 14 business days of receiving the counter-notification, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored, at Cowboy Caviar's sole discretion.
