Our Response to a Copyright Infringement Notification

Following receipt of a proper written notification, CircleCI will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. We shall also (1) notify the user who posted the allegedly infringing material that we have removed the material or disabled access to it; and (2) provide the user with a copy of the copyright infringement notification. We may suspend or terminate access to the Services of users that repeatedly or egregiously infringe the copyrights of others.

Submitting a DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notification that includes the following information:

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared in the Services before it was removed or access was disabled;
  • Your contact information including your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which you are located (or the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California located in San Francisco, California if your address is outside of the United States), and that you shall accept service of process from the person who provided the notification of infringement or an agent of such person;
  • A statement that you swear, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA and similar regulations in other jurisdictions, any person who knowingly misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we shall forward it to the person who submitted the infringement notification. The person who submitted the infringement notification (or the copyright holder they represent) shall then have ten (10) days to notify us that they have filed legal action relating to the allegedly infringing material. If we do not receive any such notification within ten (10) days, we may restore the material to the Services.
