Ovation has designated a DMCA agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement. To submit a takedown notice or counter-notification, contact:

How to Submit a Takedown Request

To file a DMCA takedown notice, you must provide all of the following elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

  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 are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
  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 to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., URL).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
  5. A 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. A statement that the information in the notification 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.

Send completed notices to dmca@ovationchain.com. We will process valid notices promptly and take appropriate action, which may include removing the allegedly infringing material.

Counter-Notification Process

If you believe that material you posted was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). A valid counter-notification must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed and the location where it appeared before it was removed.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your 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 outside the U.S., to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which Ovation may be found.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, Ovation will provide the original complaining party with a copy and inform them that removed material may be restored in 10–14 business days unless the complaining party files a court action.

Repeat Infringer Policy

It is Ovation's policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. We reserve the right to terminate any user's access to the OvationChain at our sole discretion if we determine they have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties on multiple occasions.
