Content Takedown Policy

At All South Dakota Forms, we thrive on providing an accessible, reliable resource for our community, ever mindful of the importance of safeguarding intellectual property rights. Our Content Takedown Policy is shaped around the principles of fairness, responsiveness, and compliance with applicable laws, particularly highlighting how we manage and rectify instances where content infringement claims are made. Ensuring the integrity of our services, this policy outlines the steps and procedures for addressing any concerns related to copyright infringement.

Understanding Copyright Infringement

Copyright infringement occurs when copyrighted work is used, shared, distributed, or displayed without the authorization from the copyright owner. As a dedicated online platform for South Dakota forms, we respect and uphold the intellectual property rights of creators. Our commitment is to foster an environment where original content is respected and protected.

Reporting Infringement

If you believe that your copyright has been infringed upon on our website, we encourage you to let us know. Reporting is streamlined through our designated channel; please reach out to us via email at dmca@southdakotaform.com. When submitting a claim, be sure to include the following information:

  • A clear identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.

  • A description of the infringing material and information sufficient to locate the content on our website.

  • Your contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.

  • A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receiving a legitimate infringement notification, it will be our priority to investigate and address the concerns promptly and thoroughly.

Content Removal Process

Following the receipt of a valid copyright infringement notification, the disputed content will be reviewed and may be temporarily removed or access to it disabled while the claim is being verified. In line with our commitment to adherence to copyright laws, upon confirmation of the infringement claim, the content will be permanently removed from our platform.

Counter-Notification Procedures

In instances where the content provider believes that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, a counter-notification may be submitted. This should be sent to our email address, dmca@southdakotaform.com, and include substantial evidence supporting the claim of rightful use of the content. Upon receipt, we will evaluate the counter-notification and, should it be deemed valid, the content may be reinstated onto our platform.

We believe in transparency and communication throughout this process and are committed to ensuring that all parties are treated fairly and with respect. All South Dakota Forms remains dedicated to providing a compliant, responsive platform for our community, and we encourage anyone with copyright concerns to reach out to us. Our goal is to navigate these considerations with the utmost diligence and integrity, protecting the interests of all involved.
