Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content if the notice is valid

Send counter-notifications to [email protected] with the subject line “DMCA Counter-Notification.”

WPCellar maintains a strict policy regarding repeat infringers:

Users who repeatedly upload infringing content will have their accounts terminated
We track DMCA complaints associated with user accounts
A user who receives three valid DMCA takedown notices will be permanently banned from the platform
Terminated accounts will have all associated content removed
We reserve the right to terminate accounts after a single infringement in egregious cases
