1. Submit a copyright takedown notice
If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act for one) and you believe a page, image, or other element on this site infringes your copyright, send a written notice that includes all six of the elements required by §512(c)(3):
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or their authorized agent.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing — the exact URL on this site where the material appears, plus a clear description of what within the page constitutes the alleged infringement.
- Your contact information: full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
- 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.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
2. Where to send the notice
Send the notice to our designated agent via email:
DMCA Designated Agent — Nômade Media
Email: dmca@nomademedia.travel
Mailing address: [OWNER: insert mailing address after DMCA agent registration with U.S. Copyright Office at dmca.copyright.gov]
Phone: [OWNER: optional — insert if you want to publish a phone contact]
If you have not yet registered with the U.S. Copyright Office's DMCA agent directory, your safe-harbor protection under §512 is not fully active. Registration costs $6 and takes about 10 minutes at dmca.copyright.gov. Renew every three years.
3. What happens after we receive a notice
Once we receive a properly-formed notice, we will:
- Within 1 business day: acknowledge receipt and assign an internal case reference.
- Within 3 business days: review the notice, evaluate whether the material is reasonably likely to be infringing, and either remove or disable access to the identified material, or explain why we believe the notice is deficient.
- Notify the affected party (e.g., a Featured Listing sponsor whose submitted content is the subject of a takedown) that we received a notice and that we have removed or disabled their material. We provide them with the notice's substantive content (without your personal contact information) so they can respond.
- Maintain the takedown unless we receive a properly-formed counter-notification (see below) and the original notifier does not file a court action within the statutory window.
We may, in our discretion, also terminate the accounts or remove all content from repeat infringers. Featured Listing sponsors found to have submitted infringing content may be removed from the directory without refund per section 7 of our Terms of Use.
4. Counter-notification
If you are the owner or licensee of material that was removed from this site under a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our designated agent. The counter-notification must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the URL where it appeared before removal.
- 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.
- Your full legal name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina (the federal court covering our principal place of business in Moore County), or, if your address is outside the United States, of any U.S. district in which we may be found.
- A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of such person.
If we receive a complete counter-notification, we will forward it to the original notifier and advise them that we will restore the material in 10 business days unless they file a court action against you in that time. If the original notifier does not file suit within 14 business days, we will restore the material.
5. Knowing misrepresentation
Under §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents either that material is infringing (in a takedown notice) or that material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification (in a counter-notification) may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or the service provider. Do not file a notice or counter-notification unless you have a good-faith belief in its substance.
6. Trademark, defamation, and other non-copyright complaints
The DMCA covers copyright only. If your complaint is about a different kind of intellectual property right (trademark dilution, publicity rights, defamation, false advertising, etc.) the §512 procedure does not strictly apply, but we still want to hear from you. Email legal@nomademedia.travel with a clear description of the issue, the URL where it appears, and your contact information, and we will respond within 3 business days. We act in good faith and will remove or modify content where there's a credible claim, even where we are not legally required to.
7. Repeat-infringer policy
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of subscribers, account holders, and Featured Listing sponsors who are repeat infringers. A subscriber is considered a repeat infringer after a second properly-formed DMCA notice has been received against material attributable to them, separated by at least 14 days, where the notices were not successfully counter-noticed.
This procedure is provided as a good-faith summary of our DMCA notice-and-takedown practice and does not constitute legal advice. If you are unsure whether the material on this site infringes your rights, consult an intellectual-property attorney in your jurisdiction.
