Copyright & DMCA policy

Last updated

Effective date: September 26, 2026

FormatterHQ respects intellectual-property rights and expects users to do the same. Our pages and guides are our own work; the only third-party material we host is content users save with Save & Share. This page explains how to report infringement under the Indian Copyright Act, 1957 and the Information Technology Act, 2000, and — for rights holders who prefer it — the notice-and-takedown process of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

How to send a notice

Email hello@formatterhq.com with the subject “Copyright notice” and include:

  1. your name, address, telephone number and email address;
  2. a description of the copyrighted work you believe is infringed;
  3. the exact URL(s) of the material on FormatterHQ you want removed;
  4. a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law;
  5. a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner, or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf;
  6. your physical or electronic signature.

Rights holders relying on the Copyright Act, 1957 may also send notice under Rule 75 of the Copyright Rules, 2013; we will disable access to the material in accordance with Section 52(1)(c) and the time limits of those rules.

What happens next

We acknowledge valid notices within 24 hours, disable access to the material promptly and inform the user who shared it where we can. Repeat infringers’ accounts are terminated.

Counter-notice

If you believe content you shared was removed by mistake or misidentification, email hello@formatterhq.com with the removed URL, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the removal was a mistake, your name and contact details, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the competent courts in India (or, for DMCA counter-notices, the courts where you live). We may restore the material unless the complainant informs us that they have started legal proceedings.

Misuse of notices

Knowingly false or misleading notices can make the sender liable for damages. Please consider fair dealing (Section 52 of the Copyright Act) or fair use before sending a notice.
