3. What Happens After We Receive a Notice
Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will:
- Review the notice to confirm that it contains all required information and complies with DMCA requirements.
- Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material promptly, typically within 48 to 72 hours of receiving a complete and valid notice.
- Notify the user who posted the material that it has been removed or disabled, if applicable.
- Provide the affected user with information about how to file a counter-notification if they believe the material was removed in error.

- Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before it was removed or 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 a mistake or misidentification.

- Your physical or electronic signature.
Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the original complainant does not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the removed material.
5. Repeat Infringers
In accordance with the DMCA, we have a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. If a user has been the subject of multiple valid DMCA takedown notices, we may suspend or permanently terminate their account at our sole discretion.
6. Good Faith Requirement
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Do not file a DMCA notice or counter-notification unless you are certain that your intellectual property rights have been infringed or that the material was removed in error.

Icon is a ranking and fan voting platform. Our rankings feature the names, images, and descriptions of public figures, products, brands, and other subjects of public interest.
