DMCA & Copyright Policy

Effective date: July 31, 2026

fiund is a rights-first marketplace: every contributor signs a licensing agreement warranting they own or control the content they submit. If you believe content on or licensed through fiund infringes your copyright, we want to hear about it and will act quickly.

Filing a notice

Send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) to our designated agent: Copyright Agent, fiund, jaeden@fiund.com (subject line "DMCA notice"). Your notice must include:

  • identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed;
  • identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough information for us to locate it;
  • your name, 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;
  • a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf; and
  • your physical or electronic signature.

What we do

On receipt of a valid notice we will remove or disable access to the identified material promptly, notify the contributor who submitted it, and — where the material has been included in a delivered dataset — notify the affected buyer under the terms of the applicable license.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice containing: identification of the removed material and its prior location; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake; your name, address, and telephone number; consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the US, any judicial district in which fiund may be found); and your signature. We may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the complainant files a court action.

Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts of contributors who repeatedly submit infringing material, and we withhold unpaid revenue attributable to infringing submissions as set out in the Contributor Licensing Agreement.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages.
