Copyright & DMCA Policy

Last updated: September 27, 2026

TipSheet respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This policy forms part of our Terms of Service. We respond to notices of alleged infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA").

Our content practices #

TipSheet shows news headlines, short excerpts, publisher names and links to the original article. We do not republish full articles or news images. Company logos and trademarks are shown only to identify companies. If you are a publisher or rights holder and have a concern, contact legal@tipsheet.trade and we will respond promptly.

Designated agent #

Send notices to our designated copyright agent:

Filing a notice #

Your notice must include:

  1. a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act for them;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or a representative list, if several);
  3. identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it (for example, the Lounge post's date and text, or the URL);
  4. your name, address, telephone number and email address;
  5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
  6. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages. Consider fair use before sending a notice.

What we do #

On receiving a valid notice we will remove or disable access to the material expeditiously, take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted it, and give them a copy of the notice.

Counter-notice #

If you believe your material was removed by mistake or misidentification, send our agent a counter-notice containing:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. identification of the material removed and where it appeared before removal;
  3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
  4. your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the judicial district of your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which TipSheet may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

We will forward the counter-notice to the complainant. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to restrain the activity, we will restore the material within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice.

Repeat infringers #

We will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. A user who is the subject of three valid, uncontested notices within any 12-month period will normally have their account closed. We may also close an account after fewer notices at our discretion.

Other intellectual-property complaints #

For trademark or other complaints, email legal@tipsheet.trade with details of the right, the material concerned and your contact information.
