DMCA
Last updated: August 2026
Carviano respects the intellectual property rights of creators, copyright owners, brands, and other rights holders. We expect all users, contributors, partners, and other parties interacting with our website to respect applicable copyright laws. This DMCA Policy explains how copyright owners or their authorized agents can notify Carviano of material they believe infringes their copyright rights.
1. Copyright Protection
Copyright protects original creative works, which may include photographs, illustrations, graphics, written content, videos, artwork, website content, and other qualifying works.
Carviano takes copyright concerns seriously and may review properly submitted notices concerning allegedly infringing material appearing on or through our website.
2. What a DMCA Notice Should Identify
To help us evaluate a copyright complaint, a DMCA notice should contain enough information to identify the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material, and the person or organization asserting the copyright interest.
| Required Information | What to Provide |
|---|---|
| Copyrighted Work | A description of the original copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. |
| Ownership | Information showing that you own the copyright or are authorized to act for the copyright owner. |
| Infringing Material | A clear description of the material you believe infringes the copyrighted work. |
| Location | The specific URL or other precise location where the allegedly infringing material appears. |
| Contact Information | Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address or other appropriate contact information. |
| Required Statements | The applicable good-faith and accuracy statements required for a valid DMCA notice. |
| Signature | A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative. |
3. Required Elements of a DMCA Notice
Identification of the Copyrighted Work
Identify the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are involved, provide a representative list or clearly identify each work as appropriate.
Identification of the Allegedly Infringing Material
Identify the material that you believe is infringing and provide enough information for Carviano to locate it. A direct webpage URL is strongly recommended whenever available.
Contact Information
Provide sufficient contact information so that Carviano can communicate with you regarding the complaint if clarification or additional information is required.
Good-Faith Statement
Include a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
Accuracy and Authority Statement
Include a statement confirming that the information in the notification is accurate and, under applicable law, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Signature
The notice should include a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
4. How to Submit a DMCA Notice
Send your copyright complaint to the Carviano contact address listed below. Please use the subject line "DMCA Copyright Notice" so that the request can be identified efficiently.
Prepare
Gather the copyright ownership information, URLs, descriptions, contact details, and required statements.
Submit
Email the complete copyright notice to Carviano at the designated contact address.
Review
Carviano may review the notice and determine appropriate action based on the information provided and applicable requirements.
5. Good-Faith Requirement
A copyright notice should be submitted only when the reporting party has a reasonable and good-faith basis for believing that the identified material infringes copyright.
Before submitting a notice, rights holders should consider whether the use may be authorized, licensed, permitted by the copyright owner, or otherwise allowed by applicable law, including applicable copyright exceptions.
6. Accuracy and Legal Responsibility
A person submitting a DMCA notice should ensure that the information provided is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge. Knowingly submitting materially false or misleading information may result in legal consequences.
7. Review of Copyright Complaints
After receiving a sufficiently detailed copyright notice, Carviano may review the information provided and determine what action, if any, is appropriate.
Depending on the circumstances, we may request additional information or clarification from the reporting party. A notice that does not contain sufficient information may not be actionable until the missing information is provided.
8. Possible Actions
Where appropriate, Carviano may take measures concerning material identified in a valid copyright complaint. Depending on the circumstances, such measures may include:
- Reviewing the reported content.
- Requesting additional information from the copyright claimant.
- Contacting the relevant party associated with the reported material.
- Removing or restricting access to allegedly infringing material where appropriate.
- Taking additional measures where required or permitted by applicable law.
The specific action taken will depend on the facts and circumstances of each individual complaint.
9. Counter Notification
If material is removed or access is restricted because of a copyright complaint, the affected party may contact Carviano to dispute the claim and provide relevant information explaining why the material should not have been removed or restricted.
Where a formal counter-notification process applies, the requesting party may be required to provide information and statements required by applicable law. Carviano may review the counter-notification and take appropriate action based on the circumstances.
10. Repeat Copyright Infringement
Where appropriate and permitted by applicable law, Carviano may take additional measures against accounts, users, listings, or other activity associated with repeated or serious copyright infringement.
Such measures may depend on the reliability and frequency of complaints, the nature of the conduct, the available evidence, and other relevant circumstances.
11. Copyright Claims Concerning Product Images
If you believe that an original photograph, illustration, product image, or other visual work protected by copyright has been copied or used without authorization, please identify the original work and the specific Carviano page where the allegedly infringing material appears.
If possible, provide information showing when and where the original work was created or published and explain your ownership or authorization to enforce the applicable copyright.
12. Copyright Claims Concerning Written Content
Copyright complaints may also concern original written materials, including product descriptions, editorial content, articles, guides, or other qualifying creative works.
When reporting copied written content, identify the original text and the corresponding Carviano content as clearly as possible. Providing links to both locations can make the review process more efficient.
13. Intellectual Property Beyond Copyright
This DMCA Policy specifically addresses copyright complaints. If your concern involves a trademark, brand identity, trade dress, or another intellectual property right rather than copyright, please provide the relevant information through our Intellectual Property Claim process.
Clearly identifying the type of right involved helps Carviano direct the matter to the appropriate review process.
14. Privacy and Submitted Information
Information provided in a copyright complaint may be used to evaluate, respond to, document, and resolve the reported issue. Please provide only information reasonably necessary to support your claim.
Information may be retained as reasonably necessary for legal, business, compliance, security, and recordkeeping purposes.
15. No Legal Determination
Reviewing or responding to a DMCA notice does not necessarily mean that Carviano agrees that copyright infringement has occurred. Likewise, taking action in response to a complaint does not constitute a legal determination regarding ownership, validity, or infringement.
Carviano reserves the right to evaluate each complaint based on the information available and applicable legal requirements.
