How We Handle Copyright Complaints

When we receive a sufficiently detailed copyright complaint, we may:

  1. Review the material identified in the complaint.
  2. Review the original work identified by the complainant.
  3. Examine available evidence of ownership or authorization.
  4. Consider whether the material was created independently.
  5. Consider whether permission or a licence exists.
  6. Consider whether an applicable copyright exception may apply.
  7. Request additional information if necessary.
  8. Remove, modify, replace, or disable access to material where appropriate.
  9. Decline the request if we do not find sufficient grounds for removal.

Each complaint may be reviewed individually.

Submitting a complaint does not automatically result in removal of content.

Incomplete Takedown Requests

We may be unable to properly investigate a complaint if it does not identify the allegedly infringing material.

For example, a message stating only:

“Your website copied my content”

may not provide enough information.

Please identify both:

  • The original copyrighted material, and
  • The specific material on UPPCLBillCalculator.com that you believe infringes it.

Review Before Removal

Where reasonably practical, we may review a copyright complaint before removing material.

We may consider factors including:

  • Original authorship
  • Publication dates
  • Similarity between works
  • Whether the material consists primarily of facts
  • Whether the material comes from an official or public source
  • Permission or licensing
  • Applicable copyright exceptions
  • Independent creation
  • The amount and nature of material used
  • Other relevant circumstances

We do not guarantee that every complaint will result in removal.

Response From the Content Provider

If disputed material was provided by another contributor, contractor, author, or third party, we may contact that person for additional information.

They may be asked to explain:

  • Where the content came from
  • Whether they created it
  • Whether permission was obtained
  • Whether a licence applies
  • Why they believe the material can lawfully be used

We may consider this information when reviewing the complaint.

Request to Restore Removed Content

If content has been removed following a copyright complaint and the person responsible for that content believes the removal resulted from an error or misunderstanding, they may contact us.

The request should include:

  • The removed material
  • The URL where it previously appeared
  • An explanation of why the material should be restored
  • Evidence supporting the request
  • Contact information

We may review the matter again.

Submitting a restoration request does not guarantee that the content will be restored.

False or Misleading Claims

Please do not knowingly submit false copyright claims, misleading ownership information, or fraudulent takedown requests.

A copyright complaint should be submitted only when you have a genuine basis for believing that your rights have been infringed.

Disputes concerning copyright ownership can involve legal rights and obligations.

If you are uncertain about your rights, you may wish to obtain independent legal advice.

Copyright Exceptions

Not every use of copyrighted material amounts to infringement.

Applicable law may permit certain uses without permission in particular circumstances.

These may include uses connected with purposes such as:

  • Research
  • Private or personal use
  • Criticism
  • Review
  • Reporting current events
  • Other legally recognized exceptions

Whether a particular use is permitted depends on the circumstances.

We may consider applicable copyright exceptions when reviewing a takedown request.
