Content Takedown Policy

Welcome to Forms Washington, where we understand the importance of respecting intellectual property rights and fostering a safe online environment. Our Content Takedown Policy is designed to address concerns related to copyright infringement, ensuring that materials hosted on our site comply with the law and respect the creative efforts of content creators. We're committed to providing an accessible platform for addressing these concerns, allowing for the seamless protection and management of intellectual property.

Understanding the Policy

At Forms Washington, we take copyright infringement seriously and adhere strictly to the principles outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Our policy is crafted to facilitate the prompt removal of infringing materials from our website while also providing a fair process for those who believe their content has been wrongly identified.

Reporting Infringement

If you come across content on our site that you believe infringes upon your copyright, we encourage you to contact us immediately. The most efficient way to do this is by sending a detailed notice of infringement to our designated agent at dmca@formswashington.com. To ensure a swift process, please include the following information in your notice:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed, along with sufficient information to locate the material.
  • Contact information where we can reach you, including your address, telephone number, and an email address.
  • A statement by you 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.
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Our Response

Upon receiving a valid infringement notice, Forms Washington will act swiftly to remove or disable access to the content claimed to be infringing. We will also take steps to contact the individual or entity that posted the material, informing them of the takedown. This ensures both parties are aware of our actions and provides an opportunity for any disputed content to be reviewed and resolved.

Counter Notification

In the event that an individual or entity believes their content was removed or access was disabled by mistake or misidentification, they have the right to submit a counter notification. Like the initial notice, this must be sent to our designated agent at dmca@formswashington.com. The counter notification should include sufficient information to challenge the claim, along with personal contact details, a statement under penalty of perjury about the mistake or misidentification, and the signature of the individual or entity.

We're dedicated to maintaining the balance between protecting copyright and supporting the free flow of information. Rest assured, Forms Washington is committed to addressing all concerns fairly and efficiently, ensuring that our platform remains a trusted resource for all.
