DMCA Policy

Pasta Carbonara respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998, the text of which can be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website, Pasta Carbonara will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Pasta Carbonara website or online services (the "Site") if such claims are reported to Pasta Carbonara's Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

This policy outlines the procedures for submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice and a Counter-Notification.

Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via the Site, you may submit a written notice of infringement to our Designated Copyright Agent. Your notice must include substantially the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Pasta Carbonara to locate the material.
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Pasta Carbonara to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Failure to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA may result in an invalid DMCA Notice.

Filing a DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a Counter-Notification to our Designated Copyright Agent. Your Counter-Notification must include substantially the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Pasta Carbonara may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification of infringement or an agent of such person.

Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notification, Pasta Carbonara will promptly provide the complaining party with a copy of the Counter-Notification and inform that person that it will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. If the copyright owner does not file an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity related to the material on Pasta Carbonara, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the Counter-Notification.
