Before you file
We host application packages distributed by their developers. If a listing is simply out of date or you want it removed as the developer, email contact@plantcalc.com from a domain associated with the app and we will usually resolve it without a formal notice.
Submitting a takedown notice
Send your notice to contact@plantcalc.com with the subject line “DMCA Takedown Request”. To be actionable under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), it must include all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorised agent.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
- The exact URL(s) on this site of the material you want removed, specific enough for us to locate it.
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.
What happens next
- We acknowledge valid notices within two business days.
- Material that is the subject of a complete notice is removed or disabled expeditiously, usually within 72 hours.
- We notify the uploader and provide them a copy of the notice.
Counter-notice
If you believe your material was removed in error, you may send a counter-notice to the same address containing: your signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, phone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or, if outside the United States, any district in which we may be found).
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed an action seeking a court order.
Repeat infringers
Accounts and uploaders that are the subject of repeated valid infringement notices are terminated.
Misrepresentation
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
