DMCA Policy

Version 0.9 (pre-launch). Last updated 2026-04-17.

MeterCall respects the intellectual-property rights of others and complies with the notice-and-takedown safe-harbor procedure of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512. Because the MeterCall catalog hosts third-party Modules, including Modules that are designed to provide alternatives to or replacements for existing SaaS APIs, we expect occasional copyright and trademark claims and we want to resolve them quickly and fairly.

Designated agent

Our designated agent for receipt of DMCA notices is:

We will also register this agent with the United States Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory prior to public launch [PENDING]. Notices sent only to unrelated mailboxes (e.g. support@) may not receive the statutory response window.

How to file a takedown notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must be a written communication that includes substantially the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list).
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it, including the Module slug, URL, or catalog identifier.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, including address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Knowingly materially misrepresenting that material is infringing may subject you to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Do not submit a takedown unless you own or represent the owner of the right you assert.

What happens after a notice

On receipt of a facially compliant notice, we will expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material and take reasonable steps to notify the Creator. We may forward a redacted copy of your notice to the Creator and to Lumen (chillingeffects.org) [PENDING].

Counter-notice procedure

If you are a Creator and you believe your Module was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). A counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed, and its location before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the district of your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which MeterCall may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the complaining party.

If the original complainant does not file a court action seeking an order against the activity within 10 to 14 business days of our forwarding your counter-notice, we may restore the material.

Repeat-infringer policy

We maintain a repeat-infringer policy. A Creator account that accrues three (3) unresolved DMCA strikes within a rolling 12-month period will be terminated, and associated Modules will be delisted. We may terminate sooner in egregious cases. Strikes are removed on successful counter-notice, on a fully retracted takedown, or after 12 months without a new strike.
