DMCA Notice & Takedown

Effective date: 1 August 2026

Last updated: 1 August 2026

Smutlore respects copyright and expects the same of everyone who publishes here. This page explains how to ask us to remove material you own, and how to challenge a removal.

Designated agent

Notices are accepted by email or by post. A postal address for the designated agent is available on request to the address above.

Sending a takedown notice

If you believe material here infringes your copyright, send a notice that includes:

your signature, physical or electronic;

identification of the work you say has been infringed;

the URL or other detail sufficient for us to find the material complained of;

your name, address, telephone number and email address;

a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law;

a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

Incomplete notices slow things down; the items above are what the law requires us to act on.

What we do next

Where a notice is substantially complete, we may remove or disable access to the material, tell whoever published it, keep a record, and count the notice towards our repeat-infringer policy. We may decline notices that are incomplete, abusive, or that are not copyright claims.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice including:

your signature, physical or electronic;

identification of the material removed and where it appeared;

a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith it was removed through mistake or misidentification;

your name, address, telephone number and email address;

a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your district, or if you are outside the United States, to a United States federal district court, and that you will accept service from the person who sent the original notice.

We may pass a valid counter-notice to the person who complained, and may restore the material after the statutory waiting period unless we are told that court action has been filed.

Repeat infringement

We may withdraw publishing access or close accounts for repeat infringement, and may do so for a single serious infringement or a clear pattern of abuse.

False notices

Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, can carry liability under copyright law. Please do not send notices you do not mean.

Complaints that are not about copyright

For privacy, non-consensual material, trademark or defamation, write to support@smutlore.com. For material involving minors or anything else urgent and illegal, write to safety@smutlore.com — do not use the copyright channel for that.
