Notice of Alleged Copyright Infringement (DMCA — United States)

We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. To submit a notice, please provide a written communication that includes substantially the following:

• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including a URL or other reasonably sufficient location information.

Send notices to our designated agent at sales@rugsville.com with the subject line DMCA Notice. Please be aware that misrepresentations under the DMCA can subject you to liability for damages, including attorneys’ fees. We may forward valid notices to the alleged infringer and may remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing.

If you believe material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice that complies with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), including your contact information, identification of the material, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed in error, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court where you reside (or, if outside the U.S., any judicial district where we may be found).
