This page explains what your notice means and the three options available to you. No pressure. No legalese. Just facts. Start by looking up your claim using the reference number from your notice email (it will look like IC-XXXXX).
You are listed as a respondent in a takedown notice submitted through Verights by someone asserting copyright in specific content you published. This is a formal claim under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). The platform, following its legal obligations, has restricted or removed the content named in the notice.
No admission or finding has yet been made. A takedown notice is a claim, not a verdict. You have real options. Your statutory rights are preserved.
Your first quote view sets your settlement ceiling. The price never rises inside the window. The mechanics are documented and predictable.
The Review Request is the only structured contest channel, by design. Ad-hoc messaging was deliberately removed because it created unstructured records that were unreliable for both sides.
Approved and denied are final. Once issued, the decision cannot be flipped (HTTP 409 on attempt). If you receive an info-requested email and do not respond, the team may still issue a final decision after considering the request.
If you believe the takedown was mistaken or your use is lawful, you or your legal counsel can submit a counter-notification directly with the platform that received the original notice. This is your statutory right under federal law.
A valid counter-notice may result in your content being restored, subject to the platform’s response policies and the claimant’s response window. You are not required to settle or to use the Review Request flow before exercising this right. Verights will not impede or discourage it.
The platform that received the notice will tell you exactly how to file. Most platforms accept counter-notices through their copyright support pages.
Verights is a video rights-management platform. We act as the authorized agent for rights holders under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A)(vi). Every notice we file is preceded by a documented four-factor fair-use review (the standard from Lenz v. Universal Music Corp., 815 F.3d 1145). Our team approve a notice without a screenshot. This is server-side gated, not a UI suggestion.
Settlement methodology is published. The pricing inputs are listed in Privacy Policy § 5 and Terms § 3.5. Every signed agreement is archived long-term in tamper-evident storage. We are ESIGN- and GDPR-compliant by design.
All three options start at claims.verights.com. Use the reference number from your notice email (IC-XXXXX).
