Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy

It is our policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”).  Responses to these notices may include removing or disabling access to Lush Crush ’ services, for websites claimed to be involved in infringing activity, and/or terminating accounts.   Lush Crush will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected website so that they may make a counter notification pursuant to the DMCA. 

To file a notice of infringement, you must provide a written communication (by certified mail) that sets forth the items specified below (including section numbers):

  1. Provide sufficient information to identify the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed upon (for example, "The copyrighted content that appears on http://www.mywebsite.com”).
  2. Identify the webpage that you claim is infringing the copyrighted work listed in item #1 above.
  3. Provide information reasonably sufficient to permit Lush Crush to contact you (email address is preferred).
  4. Provide information, if possible, sufficient to permit Lush Crush to notify the owner/administrator of the allegedly infringing webpage or other content (email address is preferred).
  5. Include the following statement: "I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
  6. Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."
  7. Sign the paper.
  8. Send the written communication to the following address (by certified mail):

    Lush Crush, Inc.

We reserve the right to send your notice to one or more third parties who may make it available to the public.
