Please keep in mind that if you submit a report to our designated agent by any means other than through our online form, you must include a complete copyright claim.

If you submitted a copyright report to us through our form or via email, you'll receive an automated email that contains information about your report, including a unique report number. You should save this number in case you need to contact us about your report.

Sometimes, we might have a question about your report. In this case, we might respond to your report and ask for more information. If you receive an email from our team asking for more information about your report, you can and should respond directly to that email. Your response will be received by our team so they can continue to look into your report.

When we remove the content in response to a report of copyright infringement, we notify the person you reported to inform them the content was removed. We also provide them with your contact information, including your email address and the name of your organization or client, and/or the contents of your report.

If the person who posted the content believes that the content shouldn’t have been removed, they may reach out to you directly to try to resolve the issue. If the content was removed under the notice and counter-notice procedures of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), they may also be able to submit a counter-notification under the DMCA.

In addition to our other measures, including our online reporting forms and our repeat infringer policy, we use systems that flag content posted to Impact Family Christian Counseling Network that may contain copyrighted content owned by someone else.

We use Audible Magic to help prevent unauthorized videos from being posted to Impact Family Christian Counseling Network. Audible Magic allows content owners to fingerprint their media files for copyright management. Videos uploaded to Impact Family Christian Counseling Network are then run through Audible Magic at the time of upload. If a match is detected, the upload is stopped and the user is notified. To learn more about Audible Magic, you can visit their website at www.audiblemagic.com.

Impact Family Christian Counseling Network complies with the notice-and-takedown procedures set out in the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which applies to content reported and removed for violating U.S. copyrights.

If your content is removed under the DMCA, you'll receive information about how to file a counter-notification in the message we send you. You should only submit a counter-notification if the content was removed because of a mistake or misidentification.

When we receive an effective DMCA counter-notification, we forward it to the party that reported the content. The information they receive includes your contact information, which they can use to contact you.

If we provide your counter-notification to the party that reported the content, and they don't notify us that they have filed a court action seeking an order to keep the content down, we will restore or cease disabling eligible content under the DMCA. This process can take up to 14 business days. Please note, in rare instances, we may not be able to restore content due to technical limitations. If this happens, we’ll send you an update letting you know you may repost the content at your discretion.

Content that is restored based on an effective DMCA counter-notification will not be counted against you under our repeat infringer policy.
