GlobePrism respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our contributors and readers to do the same. We write our own articles and use only images we own, have licensed, or have permission to use. If you believe something on our site infringes your copyright, please tell us.

How to send a notice

Email a written notice to contact@globeprism.com (subject: “Copyright notice”) or use the contact form and choose “Copyright / DMCA notice”. To be effective, your notice should include:

  1. Your name, address, telephone number and email address.
  2. A description of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed.
  3. The exact URL(s) on GlobePrism where the material appears.
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

What happens next

When we receive a valid notice we will act promptly, which may include removing or disabling access to the material, and we will notify the person responsible for the content. We may forward your notice, including your contact details, to them.

Counter-notice

If you believe material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice with your contact details, the location of the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake, and your signature. We may restore the material unless the complainant tells us they have started a court action.

Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances we will stop working with contributors or sources who repeatedly infringe copyright.

Misrepresentations

Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may make you liable for damages under applicable law.
