Common Exceptions to the DMCA.com Takedown Guarantee
There are some instances where the money back guarantee does not apply, examples include:
Receipt of a Valid Counterclaim
If the ISP or Hosting company declares they are in receipt of a counterclaim and refuse to remove the content described in the takedown notice no refund shall be provided. As claimed by a number of the world's largest ISP/OSP's, nearly half of all takedown notices they receive are frivolous or competitive in nature. This no guarantee refund policy is in support of this initiative to reduce the total number of illegal takedown notices.
Re-posting or Re-hosting of the Content
If the content has been removed, as verified by a web hosting service, ISP or DMCA.com Imaging Service the takedown notice service complete. If the same content and or website is re-posted / re-hosted it's subsequent removal constitutes a new takedown service not covered by DMCA.com's Takedown Guarantee.
The OSP/ISP does NOT follow Standard Accepted DMCA Takedown Policy
Some websites and hosting companies interpret the act and its enforcement differently than outlined by authorities or convention. We have no control over this and therefore cannot guarantee their actions to remove your content when processing individual takedown requests.his exceptions does not mean your takedown will not occur it simply means the takedown may take longer or require more work which will cost more than you have already paid in order to be successful.
The OSP/ISP or Website is Located Outside the USA
Although most hosting companies and website involved with content have a DMCA like (or similar) "policy" or an Intellectual Property Protection Policy. Not all of these hosts or websites follow the copyright content removal conventions and therefore we cannot guarantee the application to takedown specific content.
These exceptions do not always mean your takedown will not occur, it simply means the takedown may take longer or require more work. This may come with additional costs in order to be successful. DMCA.com's takedown team will generally notify you prior to proceeding with takedowns in these situations. This way you have the choice to proceed with the takedown or receive your guaranteed refund.
