Effective Date: 2026-05-04
1. Purpose
Simon Law Group, LLC ("SLG") respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512. This Policy describes how to submit a notice of claimed copyright infringement and how we respond.
2. Designated Copyright Agent
DMCA notices must be sent to our Designated Agent, who is registered with the United States Copyright Office:

3. Notice of Claimed Infringement (§ 512(c)(3))
Your notice must be in writing and include:
1. a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent;
2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list);
3. identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (e.g., URL);
4. your contact information (address, phone, email);
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
Notices that do not substantially comply with § 512(c)(3) may be ineffective.
4. Response
On receipt of a compliant notice, we will:
- act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material; and
- notify the user who posted it of the removal where we can.
5. Counter-Notice (§ 512(g))
If your material was removed and you believe in good faith that the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice including:
1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material removed and its prior location;
3. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification;
4. your name, address, phone, and email; and
5. 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 outside the United States, for any judicial district in which SLG may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or that person's agent.
We will forward your counter-notice to the original notifier. We may restore the material 10-14 business days after we forward the counter-notice unless the notifier files an action seeking a court order against the user.
6. Repeat Infringers
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the access of users who are repeat infringers.
7. Misrepresentations
Section 512(f) provides for damages, including actual damages, costs, and attorneys' fees, against any person who knowingly materially misrepresents (i) that material or activity is infringing, or (ii) that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification. This includes both notices of infringement and counter-notices. Submission of a false or bad-faith notice or counter-notice exposes the submitter to liability under § 512(f). Do not submit false notices.
8. Other Intellectual-Property Claims

9. Privacy
Notices and counter-notices may be shared with the affected user and, where required, with third parties, regulators, or courts.
