If multiple works are involved, you may provide a representative list where appropriate.

-
Good-faith statement
Include a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by:

Accuracy and authority statement
State that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

I believe in good faith that the material identified in this notice is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or applicable law. I state that the information provided is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
You should then provide the relevant work, allegedly infringing URL, contact information and signature.
9. What Happens After We Receive a Notice?
When we receive a sufficiently detailed copyright complaint, we may:
- Review the identified material
- Review the information provided by the complainant
- Request additional information
- Investigate the source of the content
- Correct attribution where appropriate
- Remove or disable access to disputed material where appropriate
- Reject a complaint where there is insufficient basis for removal
- Contact the person or source associated with the disputed material where relevant
We aim to handle legitimate copyright complaints reasonably and in good faith.
10. Removal Does Not Necessarily Admit Infringement
Removing or restricting access to material after receiving a complaint does not necessarily mean that we agree that copyright infringement occurred.
Material may sometimes be restricted while a dispute is investigated.
11. Counter-Notification
If content associated with you has been removed or disabled following a copyright complaint and you believe that the material was removed because of a mistake or misidentification, you may contact us with a counter-notification.
A counter-notification should include:

- The location where the material appeared before removal
- An explanation of why you believe removal was a mistake or misidentification
- Any statements required by applicable copyright law
- Your physical or electronic signature
Send counter-notifications to:
support@roofpitchcalculator.org
12. Restoration of Content
Where legally appropriate, content may be restored following a valid counter-notification if:
- The original complainant does not take further required legal action within the applicable period, and
- Restoration is permitted under applicable law.
We reserve the right to seek appropriate information before restoring disputed material.
13. False or Misleading Copyright Claims
Please do not knowingly submit false, fraudulent or materially misleading copyright complaints.
A person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may potentially face legal consequences.
Similarly, counter-notifications should only be submitted where there is a genuine basis for disputing removal.
14. Fair Use and Other Copyright Exceptions
Not every use of copyrighted material constitutes infringement.
Applicable law may permit certain uses for purposes such as:
- Commentary
- Criticism
- News reporting
- Research
- Education
