Copyright / DMCA Policy

Last updated: June 29, 2026

CapScout respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This policy explains how to report material you believe infringes your copyright, in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. It supplements our Terms of Service.

Reporting claimed infringement

If you believe content on CapScout infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to our designated agent (below) that includes:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (e.g., a URL).
Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on its behalf.

Designated agent

Send DMCA notices to our designated copyright agent:

DMCA Agent, CapScout
Email: [email protected]
Mail: [OPERATOR POSTAL ADDRESS / PO BOX]

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same agent that includes: your signature; identification of the removed material and its prior location; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address, and phone number; and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the U.S., where CapScout may be found) and to accept service of process from the party that filed the original notice. We may restore the material as permitted by the DMCA.

Repeat infringers

We may, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages.
