DMCA Policy

Healthy Synonym respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998, the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, Healthy Synonym will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Healthy Synonym service that are reported to Healthy Synonym's Designated Copyright Agent, identified in the sample notice below.

This policy describes the information that should be present in a DMCA notice, Healthy Synonym's actions upon receipt of a valid notice, and the options available to users whose content has been subject to a DMCA takedown.

Filing a DMCA Notice of Infringement

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via the Healthy Synonym website, please send a written DMCA notice to Healthy Synonym's Designated Copyright Agent with the following information:

  2. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing: Identify the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Healthy Synonym to locate the material (e.g., the specific URL(s) on Healthy Synonym's site where the material can be found).
  3. Contact Information of the Complaining Party: Provide your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. 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.

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled: Provide the specific URL(s) at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
