DMCA Notice & Takedown.

Pursuant to 17 USC § 512 · Last updated 2026-05-26

Filing a DMCA notice

ZoneIN respects the intellectual-property rights of others and will respond promptly to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement filed under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe content on ZoneIN infringes your copyright, submit a notice to our designated agent. The notice must include the elements required by 17 USC § 512(c)(3):

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works are at one site).
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (URLs, post IDs, screenshots).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party — mailing address, telephone number, and an email address.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has 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.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Where to send the notice

Send DMCA notices to our designated agent:

DMCA Designated Agent · ZoneIN
c/o Ventiq LLC
Email: support@ventiqinator.com
(with subject line beginning "DMCA Notice:")

Email is preferred — we triage faster and the audit trail is cleaner. We will also accept postal notice if your jurisdiction requires it; email support@ventiqinator.com for the current mailing address.

What happens after we receive a notice

Upon receipt of a complete notice, we will: (a) remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material expeditiously, (b) notify the user who posted the material that it has been removed and provide them with a copy of your notice, and (c) inform you when the removal has occurred. If we receive a valid counter-notice from the user (see below), we will forward it to you and may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless you provide notice that you have filed an action seeking a court order against the user.

Filing a counter-notice

If you believe your content was removed in error or based on misidentification, you may file a counter-notice under 17 USC § 512(g). Your counter-notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification or an agent of such person.

Send counter-notices to support@ventiqinator.com with subject line beginning "DMCA Counter-Notice:".

Repeat-infringer policy

Consistent with 17 USC § 512(i), we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We track confirmed infringement findings against individual accounts. Three confirmed strikes within a rolling 12-month period generally results in account termination. We may terminate sooner for particularly egregious violations.

Misrepresentation warning

Section 512(f) of the DMCA states that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents in a notice or counter-notice that material or activity is infringing or was removed by mistake or misidentification may be liable for damages. Don't file frivolous or harassing notices.

Trademark and other IP

For non-copyright IP issues (trademark misuse, right-of-publicity violations, brand- mark counterfeiting), email support@mail.zoneinhq.com with the subject line "Trademark Notice:" or "IP Notice:". We handle those under a similar takedown procedure even though they're not DMCA-covered.
