DMCA & Copyright Policy
Last updated: August 2, 2026
Hidden Payouts respects intellectual property rights and responds to valid notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). This policy is part of our Terms of Service.
1. Our content
Editorial guides, illustrations, software, and the Hidden Payouts name and logo are owned by Hidden Payouts or its licensors. Statutes, court filings, agency notices, and other government records referenced on the Service are generally not subject to copyright, but our summaries and design are.
2. Submitting a takedown notice
If you believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes all of the following:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed;
- the URL or a description precise enough for us to locate the material;
- your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
Designated agent: Copyright Agent, Hidden Payouts — submit a DMCA notice. Notices missing required elements may not be actionable.
3. What happens next
We review valid notices promptly and may remove or disable access to the material, and notify the person who posted it. We may publish a redacted copy of the notice or a note that content was removed.
4. Counter-notice
If your material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice containing your signature, identification of the removed material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake, your contact information, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or the District of Delaware if you are outside the U.S.). We may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us it has filed suit.
5. Repeat infringers and misrepresentation
We terminate accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice can result in liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
6. Trademarks and other claims
For trademark, publicity, or other non-copyright complaints, contact us with the same level of detail.
