Content Takedown Policy

At SC PDF Forms, we are committed to ensuring our platform remains a trusted and reliable source for our visitors seeking forms specific to South Carolina. We understand the importance of respecting copyright laws and protecting the rights of content creators. In light of this, we have established a clear and rigorous Content Takedown Policy designed to address and resolve any issues of copyright infringement swiftly and effectively.

Understanding Copyright Infringement

Copyright infringement occurs when copyrighted material is used, distributed, or reproduced without the explicit permission of the copyright holder. At SC PDF Forms, we stand by the principle of respect for the creativity and rights of others. Therefore, if you believe that your copyright-protected work has been posted on our site without your permission, we encourage you to reach out to us for its prompt removal under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

How to Report Copyright Infringement

If you hold copyright to content that has been incorrectly posted on SC PDF Forms, kindly follow the steps below to submit a takedown notice:

  1. Identify the copyrighted content in question, providing specific URLs or other identifying information to allow us to locate the material on our site.
  2. Provide your contact details, including your full name, address, telephone number, and email address, to allow for proper follow-up.
  3. Include a statement of belief, undersigned by you, asserting that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  4. Include a declaration, under penalty of perjury, that the information provided in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send all the information detailed above to our designated Copyright Agent at dmca@southcarolinaform.com.

Our Procedure

Upon receiving a valid copyright infringement notice, we commit to acting promptly to remove or disable access to the infringed content. We will also take appropriate steps to contact the uploader of the content in question to inform them of the situation.

Counter-Notice and Restoration

If you believe your content was mistakenly removed due to a misidentification or an honest error, you have the right to issue a counter-notice. Such a notice should include:

  • Your personal information, including full name, address, and email.
  • Identification of the removed content and its location on our site before removal.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of your local federal court, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notification or an agent of such person.

Please send your counter-notice to dmca@southcarolinaform.com. If your counter-notice meets the necessary criteria, we will consider the restoration of the content at our discretion, in compliance with the DMCA and applicable laws.
