Copyright Notices

The quick way, and the formal way

Every listing has a Report this listing link, with copyright among its reasons. That reaches the same people and is usually faster — if it is plainly someone else's photograph, say so there and we will take it down.

A formal notice is worth sending when the quick route has not resolved it, or when you want the matter on the record. It has requirements, set out below, because answering it costs the person who published the listing something too, and we are not in a position to judge who owns a photograph.

Sending a notice

No agent has yet been designated to receive notices, which we would rather say than imply otherwise — until one is, notices reach our moderation team, at [email protected], or by post to Price Properties Global LLC, 30 N Gould St, Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States.

Include all of the following, or we may not be able to act on it:

• Which work is yours, and where it was originally published.
• Which listing and which image on it — the address of the page, and enough to identify the photograph if the listing has several.
• How to reach you: a name, an address, a telephone number and an email address.
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by you, your agent or the law.
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner of the copyright or authorised to act for them, made under penalty of perjury.
• Your signature, electronic or physical.

We act on a notice that meets these requirements by removing or disabling the material, and we tell whoever published it what was removed and why, passing on your notice.

If a notice is made against your listing

You can answer it. Send a counter-notice to the same address, identifying what was removed and where it was, with your name, address and telephone number, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, and your consent to a court where you live — or, outside the United States, where we may be found — hearing the matter.

We pass a counter-notice to whoever sent the notice. Unless they tell us they have gone to court, we may restore the material after a pause of between ten and fourteen business days.

Both a notice and a counter-notice are sworn statements. Knowingly making a false one is not a free move — it carries liability for the other side's costs and damages — and we pass each on to the other party in full, your contact details included.

Repeat infringement

An account whose listings are removed over copyright three times is closed, and the listings close with it. The listing rules set out how those are counted, and a removal we later decide was wrong is not counted at all.

Our own photographs

Some images on this site are ours or are used under licence, and the photo credits say which and on what terms. Those are not the agents' to license on, and nor are they yours to take: the same notice route applies to us.
