Filing a takedown notice
To be valid under the DMCA, your notice must include:
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
- The exact URL or location of the allegedly infringing material on this site.
- Your contact information (name, email, and physical address).
- A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Use the form below to submit all of this in one place.
Counter-notices
If content of yours was removed and you believe it was removed in error or through misidentification, you’ll receive an email with a link to submit a counter-notice. We don’t publish an open counter-notice form here, since a valid counter-notice has to reference the specific notice it’s responding to.
A note on business profiles shared with NoVa Near Me
Some business listings on this site are mirrored from our sister site, NoVa Near Me, as a bonus perk for its Featured advertisers. If the material in question appears on one of those mirrored listings, we’ll remove it from this site immediately upon a valid notice, but the underlying image may need to be addressed at its source as well — see NoVa Near Me’s own DMCA policy to file there too if it still needs to be fixed at that source.
