5. What Happens After We Receive a Notice
When we receive a copyright notice, we may review it to determine whether it contains the information required by the DMCA.
If a notice is incomplete, unclear, or missing required information, we may request additional details before taking action.
If a notice materially complies with the DMCA and appears valid, we may act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the challenged material.
Depending on the circumstances, we may also:
- Notify the person or business that submitted the Content.
- Forward the notice to the person or business that submitted the Content.
- Ask for additional information or proof of authority.
- Temporarily disable Content while the issue is reviewed.
- Remove, replace, edit, or limit access to the Content.
- Suspend or terminate a Listing, account, campaign, or other access connected to the Content.
We do not decide complex ownership disputes, contractual disputes, fair-use disputes, or other legal disputes between parties. Where ownership or authorization is unclear, we may remove or disable access to Content while the parties resolve the issue.
6. Counter-Notice Process
If your Content was removed or disabled because of a DMCA notice and you believe the removal happened because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send us a written counter-notice.
To be effective, your counter-notice must include all of the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
Include the specific Sneaky Little Local page URL, if available. - A statement made under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located. If your address is outside the United States, you must consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Arizona.
- A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original DMCA notice, or that person’s authorized agent.

7. Example Counter-Notice Language
You may use the following language as a guide:
I have a good-faith belief that the material identified below was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification.
I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located. If my address is outside the United States, I consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Arizona.

8. What Happens After a Counter-Notice
If we receive a counter-notice that materially complies with the DMCA, we may forward it to the person who submitted the original copyright-infringement notice.
If we forward a valid counter-notice, we may restore the removed or disabled Content between 10 and 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice unless, before that time, we receive notice that the original complaining party has filed a court action seeking to prevent the alleged infringement.
We are not required to restore Content where restoration would be unlawful, unsafe, technically impractical, inconsistent with another legal obligation, or otherwise inappropriate under the circumstances.
9. Repeat Infringer Policy
Sneaky Little Local may suspend, limit, remove, or terminate access for users, businesses, or representatives who repeatedly submit or publish infringing Content.
We may also remove, suspend, or terminate access when we reasonably believe a user or business has repeatedly:
- Submitted copyrighted photos, logos, graphics, text, videos, or other material without permission.
- Ignored valid copyright complaints.
- Misrepresented ownership of Content.
- Submitted false DMCA notices.
- Submitted false counter-notices.
- Used Sneaky Little Local to distribute or promote infringing material.
- Continued to violate copyright rights after being warned or notified.
We determine repeat-infringer status based on the information reasonably available to us. We may consider the number of complaints, the apparent validity of complaints, the nature of the conduct, whether Content was knowingly submitted without authorization, and other relevant circumstances.
10. Misrepresentations
The DMCA provides consequences for knowingly making material misrepresentations in a copyright-infringement notice or counter-notice.
Do not submit a DMCA notice unless you genuinely believe you own the copyright involved or are authorized to act for the copyright owner.
Do not submit a counter-notice unless you genuinely believe Content was removed because of a mistake or misidentification.
Submitting false or misleading claims may expose you to legal liability.
11. DMCA Notices Do Not Cover Every Dispute
The DMCA process applies to alleged copyright infringement.
It does not automatically resolve disputes involving:
- Trademark rights
- Business names
- Business impersonation
- Defamation
- False or misleading business information
- Listing ownership
- Contract disputes
- Privacy complaints
- Right of publicity claims
- Reviews or ratings
- Copyright ownership disputes that require court resolution
- Content you simply dislike but do not own
For those issues, contact:
Please include enough information for us to understand the concern, identify the relevant Listing or page, and respond when appropriate.
12. No Legal Advice
This Policy is provided to explain Sneaky Little Local’s copyright-reporting process.
Nothing on this page is legal advice.
If you are unsure whether material infringes your copyright, whether a use may be legally permitted, whether fair use applies, or whether you should submit a DMCA notice or counter-notice, you should speak with a qualified attorney.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this DMCA / Copyright Policy from time to time.
When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
Your continued use of Sneaky Little Local after an updated Policy takes effect means you accept the revised Policy to the extent permitted by law.
