In short: if we have used your work without the right to, tell us at [email protected] and we will look at it quickly. This page lists exactly what a takedown notice has to contain to be valid, what happens after we receive one, and how the same channel works for rights-holders in the European Union.
Effective date: 16 September 2026
What we own
The articles, headlines, page design and the arrangement of Kwyper.com belong to Ranqueei Digital LTDA, CNPJ nº 54.823.192/0001-65. What you may and may not do with them is set out in our Terms of Use. In short, link freely and quote a short passage with credit, but do not republish an article in full, scrape the site or use it to train an AI model without our written permission.
How we license the images we use
Most photographs on Kwyper were taken by somebody else. We use manufacturer press images within the terms of the press licence that comes with them, stock photographs from libraries such as Unsplash and Pexels, images published under a Creative Commons licence, and photographs supplied to us with permission. Each image is credited where its licence asks for a credit, and Creative Commons images name the licence.
Mistakes happen. A credit can be dropped in editing, or an image can turn out not to be licensed the way the source claimed. If that has happened to your work, the fastest fix is usually an email rather than a formal notice, and we will add the credit, change the image or remove it.
Sending a DMCA takedown notice
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is a United States law. Section 512(c)(3) of Title 17 of the US Code says a takedown notice must contain six things. A notice missing any of them may not count as valid, so please include all six:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorised to act for them.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed. If several works on one page are involved, a representative list of them is enough.
- Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it. Please give the exact web address and say which image or passage on that page you mean.
- Your contact details: address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Send it to [email protected] with DMCA in the subject line, or by post to Ranqueei Digital LTDA, R. Adelino Cardana, 293, Sala 603, Bloco C, Bethaville I / Centro, Barueri/SP, CEP 06401-147, Brazil. Email reaches us faster.
Be careful what you claim. Under section 512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing can be liable for the costs and legal fees caused by the false notice.
What we do next
We aim to acknowledge a notice within 3 business days. If the complaint is clearly right we remove or replace the material straight away. If it concerns something a reader posted, such as a comment, we remove it and tell the person who posted it that we did and why.
If you think your material was removed by mistake
You can send a counter-notice. Under section 512(g)(3) it needs your signature, identification of the material that was removed and where it used to appear, a statement under penalty of perjury that you honestly believe it was removed because of a mistake or a misidentification, and your name, address and telephone number together with your agreement to accept the jurisdiction of a US federal court in the district where you live, or of a US federal court in any district where we can be found if you live outside the United States. Send it to the same address. We pass a valid counter-notice to the person who complained, and the material can be restored if they do not go to court.
Repeat infringers
We keep a record of notices we receive. Anyone who repeatedly posts infringing material in our comments is blocked from commenting and, where we can, from the site.
If you are in the European Union
You do not need to use a US law. Article 16 of the Digital Services Act, Regulation EU 2022/2065, requires hosting providers to run a notice and action mechanism, and this page is ours. An EU notice should explain why you believe the material is illegal, give the exact web address, give your name and email address, and confirm that you believe in good faith that what you have told us is accurate and complete. Send it to [email protected], the same address as everything else. We will confirm receipt, decide without undue delay and tell you the outcome with our reasons. Copyright holders in the United Kingdom and Brazil can use the same channel.
