Copyright (DMCA) Policy

Last Updated: January 1, 2025

At LyricsGist (https://www.lyricsgist.com), we respect the copyright rights of others. We expect our users to do the same. This policy explains how we handle copyright infringement claims in line with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that any content on our site uses your copyrighted work without permission, you can send us a DMCA takedown notice. Your notice must include:

A clear description of the copyrighted work (or a list if many items).
The exact URL or location of the material you want removed.
Your full name, address, phone number, and email address.
A good faith statement that the use is not authorized by you, your agent, or the law.
A statement that your claim is accurate and you are the copyright owner (or authorized to act for them).
Your physical or digital signature.

Once we receive a valid DMCA notice, we will review it and may remove or block access to the reported content.

Contact Information

Please send your DMCA notices to our copyright agent:

Email: dmca [at] lyricsgist dot com

This email is for copyright claims only. General inquiries will not receive a response.

Submitting a Counter-Notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake, you may send us a counter-notification. It must include:

A description of the removed material and where it appeared.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe the removal was in error.
Your full contact details (name, address, phone, email).
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of your local federal court and accept service of legal documents.
Your physical or digital signature.

We will send this to the original complainant. If they do not take legal action within 10 business days, we may restore the content.

Repeat Infringers

We may suspend or remove users who repeatedly violate copyright laws. We may also limit access for users who violate any intellectual property rights.

Misuse of the DMCA

Please only submit a DMCA notice if you are sure. Filing a false claim can lead to legal consequences, including paying damages and attorney fees.

Technical Measures

We support standard technical tools used by copyright holders to protect their content and will not interfere with them.

Updates to This Policy

This policy may change from time to time. Any updates will be posted here with a new “Last Updated” date. Please check back regularly.
