DMCA Takedown Policy
Last updated: 2024-07-31
CognitoA respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the CognitoA service that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent.
1. Public Domain Content
Our service primarily provides access to books believed to be in the public domain in the United States, sourced from Project Gutenberg. We make a good faith effort to ensure that we do not provide access to any copyrighted material without authorization. However, copyright laws are complex and vary by jurisdiction.
2. Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that the copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a notification to our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing:
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., the URL of the page on our Site).
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
3. Designated Copyright Agent
Please submit infringement notices to our Designated Copyright Agent via the contact form on our main website: cognitoa.com.
4. Counter-Notice Procedure
If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material, you may send a counter-notice containing the required information to our Copyright Agent.
