N1Hawk DMCA Process

1. Designated Agent & Communication Channels

Vertali Group acts as the authorized agent for N1Hawk to receive DMCA notices under 17 U.S.C. §512. Rights holders and their representatives should direct all takedown requests, counter-notices, or escalation inquiries through the secure intake form so we can authenticate the submission and respond without delay.

This designated agent information mirrors our service provider registration on file with the U.S. Copyright Office. We accept notices submitted via the secure form, direct email, or postal mail. Please use the same contact points when sending counter-notifications so we can match your response to the original report without delay.

If you require an alternative accessible format or need to escalate a subpoena or court order, contact Vertali Group in writing first so we can coordinate a timely response.

2. Notice Checklist

Complete notices must include the statutory statements and factual detail below. Missing items delay enforcement and may require resubmission.

• The physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered.
• Identification of the material to be removed or disabled, including URLs, stream timestamps, or other precise locator information.
• Contact information for the complaining party, including name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• An accuracy statement made under penalty of perjury that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

3. Counter-Notice Requirements

If you believe your content was removed in error, submit a counter-notification that satisfies 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3) so we can evaluate reinstatement.

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled due to mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, plus a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for your district (or the Middle District of Florida if outside the United States) and acceptance of service from the original complainant or their agent.

4. Review Timelines

We acknowledge receipt of valid notices within two (2) business days and begin our investigation within five (5) business days. When counter-notices meet statutory requirements, we forward them to the complaining party and restore access no sooner than ten (10) business days and no later than fourteen (14) business days after delivery, unless we receive confirmation that the complainant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

5. Misrepresentation & Abuse Warning

Submitting a takedown request is a sworn legal statement. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly makes material misrepresentations regarding infringement or authorization may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Conduct a fair use and license review before you file, and do not submit retaliatory or automated complaints.

We log submission metadata, may request supplemental documentation, and can suspend access to our services or refer matters to law enforcement if we detect fraud, extortionate demands, or other abusive conduct.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy & Technical Measures

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. §512(i), N1Hawk maintains a repeat infringer policy that provides for appropriate account termination after verified violations, and we accommodate and do not interfere with standard technical measures identified by copyright owners.

Documented notices and counter-notices help us evaluate user standing, apply incremental penalties, and maintain compliance with platform obligations.

7. Notice Disclosure & Privacy

We forward complete notices, counter-notices, and supporting materials to the affected user and, where appropriate, to our legal counsel, hosting partners, or the Lumen Database. Redact sensitive personal data before submission if disclosure is not legally required.

We preserve notices and submission logs to comply with legal obligations, subpoenas, or court orders. Non-DMCA disputes, including trademark or defamation complaints, should be routed through our primary Contact Command channel so they reach the appropriate team.
