Mediavine Copyright Policy


COPYRIGHT POLICY

Mediavine, Inc. (“Mediavine”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. To that end, in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, Mediavine has implemented procedures for reporting instances of copyright infringement.

If you are a copyright holder, or its authorized representative, and believe in good faith that content residing or accessible on or through the Mediavine ad network or any of the Mediavine plug-ins infringes your copyrighted work, you may submit a notice of copyright infringement following the procedure below. If we find evidence of infringement, we will provide the alleged infringer with information from your claim and will stop running programmatic advertising on the applicable page. We will resume advertising upon removal of the content by the alleged infringer or if a counter notice is filed and you fail to notify us of legal action as set forth below. Please note we cannot remove or disable any content on a website or provide anonymity in this process. You should not file a takedown request if you wish to remain anonymous.

You may send the written notice of copyright infringement to our designated agent, whose contact information is listed below or submit a notice here:

Additionally, if we remove or disable access to the content pursuant to a valid DMCA notice, Mediavine will immediately notify the owner of the content that the content has been removed or disabled.

It is also the policy of Mediavine, in appropriate circumstances and in our sole discretion, to suspend or terminate the accounts of publishers who are repeat copyright infringers.

Confidential Information. As stated above, all communications sent by you to us will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary (subject to our privacy policy). Please do not submit confidential or proprietary information to us (including patentable ideas, new content suggestions or business proposals) unless we have mutually agreed in writing otherwise.
