DMCA Copyright Policy

Drydock Labs, Inc. respects the copyright rights of others. We respond to clear and complete notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512. This page describes how to send a notice and how the alleged infringer can respond.

Designated Agent

To send a notice of alleged copyright infringement on Drydock, contact our designated agent, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office:

Our public listing is searchable in the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory.

Filing a takedown notice

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A), a valid takedown notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material — for example, the URL of the page or a Drydock-hosted IP address and timestamp.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you: your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have 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, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Send the notice to the designated agent address above. Notices that omit any of the six elements may not be actionable. A misrepresentation in a notice may subject you to liability for damages, costs, and attorneys' fees under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

Counter-notice

If material you posted to Drydock has been removed or disabled in response to a takedown notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). A valid counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. 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 disabled.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your full 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 the United States, for any judicial district in which Drydock may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or that person's agent.

Send counter-notices to the designated agent address above. We may forward your counter-notice to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action seeking a restraining order against you within 10 to 14 business days, we may restore the removed material.

Repeat-infringer policy

Drydock terminates, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users we determine in our reasonable discretion to be repeat infringers. The Drydock Acceptable Use Policy prohibits operating services whose primary purpose is to host or distribute infringing copies of copyrighted works.

Other intellectual-property complaints

The DMCA takedown procedure described above applies only to U.S. copyright. Other intellectual-property complaints — trademark, patent, trade secret, right of publicity — should be sent to legal@drydock.build. We are not required to remove material in response to non-DMCA complaints, but we will review them in good faith.
