Provide:

• Review ownership evidence
• Request additional information
• Contact the party responsible for the content
• Temporarily restrict the disputed material
• Remove or disable access to the material

Minimaltank may temporarily disable or restrict material while a claim is being reviewed.

Temporary action may include:

• Hiding a product page
• Removing an image
• Disabling access to content
• Pausing promotional use
• Suspending a related listing

Temporary restriction does not constitute an admission of infringement.

When a copyright claim is sufficiently supported, Minimaltank may:

• Remove the disputed content
• Disable access to the content
• Replace the content
• Correct attribution
• Restrict the responsible account or supplier
• Take other appropriate remedial action

The action taken will depend on the nature and scope of the claim.

11. Notice to the Affected Party

When appropriate, Minimaltank may notify the person or entity responsible for the removed or restricted material.

The notice may include:

• Identification of the disputed material
• The reason for restriction or removal
• Information about submitting a counter-notice
• Relevant portions of the copyright complaint

Claimant information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to process the claim or as required by law.

14. Restoration of Material

After receiving a valid counter-notice, Minimaltank may provide it to the original claimant.

Where legally appropriate, removed material may be restored unless the original claimant provides notice that court action has been filed seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Restoration is not guaranteed and may depend on:

• Completeness of the counter-notice
• Applicable legal requirements
• Evidence submitted by both parties
• Court proceedings
• Platform requirements
• Other relevant circumstances

15. Repeat Infringement

Minimaltank may restrict or terminate relationships with parties that repeatedly provide or submit infringing content.

Depending on the circumstances, action may include:

• Removal of content
• Suspension of listings
• Restriction of website access
• Termination of supplier relationships
• Account closure
• Refusal to publish future material
• Other appropriate measures

Repeat-infringement decisions are based on available evidence and the circumstances of each matter.

16. False or Misleading Notices

Do not submit a copyright notice or counter-notice without a reasonable and good-faith basis.

A person may be legally responsible for damages, costs, or attorney’s fees resulting from knowingly making material misrepresentations concerning:

• Alleged copyright infringement
• Ownership of copyrighted material
• Authorization to act for a copyright owner
• Removal caused by mistake or misidentification
• Lawful or licensed use of disputed material

Minimaltank may reject submissions that appear fraudulent, abusive, or intentionally misleading.

17. Incomplete Notices

A notice may be delayed, rejected, or closed when:

• Exact website URLs are missing
• Required statements are omitted
• Ownership evidence is insufficient
• The claimant’s authority is not established
• The notice is unsigned
• Contact information is incomplete
• The material is not controlled by Minimaltank

We may request additional information before taking action.

18. Fair Use and Authorized Use

Not every use of copyrighted content constitutes infringement.

A use may be lawful because of:

• Permission
• License
• Ownership
• Fair use
• Public-domain status
• Statutory exception
• Independent creation
• Other lawful authorization

Minimaltank may consider evidence of lawful use when reviewing a notice or counter-notice.

19. Third-Party Content

Some content may be provided by:

• Product suppliers
• Manufacturers
• Contractors
• Photographers
• Designers
• Marketing providers
• Licensors
• E-commerce service providers

When a claim involves third-party content, Minimaltank may request authorization records or ownership evidence from the applicable provider.

20. Third-Party Platforms

Some website features may rely on third-party hosting, e-commerce, payment, social media, advertising, or technology platforms.

Minimaltank can act only on material reasonably within its control.

Claims involving content controlled exclusively by another platform should be submitted directly to that platform.

21. No Legal Determination

Minimaltank is not a court and does not issue binding legal decisions concerning:

• Copyright ownership
• Copyright validity
• Infringement
• Fair use
• Licensing disputes
• Damages
• Other legal remedies

Our review is limited to determining what action should reasonably be taken regarding content under our control.

Parties may need to resolve complex disputes through legal counsel or an appropriate court.

22. Privacy and Information Use

Information submitted in a copyright notice or counter-notice may be used to:

• Verify identity and authority
• Evaluate the claim
• Locate disputed material
• Communicate with involved parties
• Prevent abuse
• Maintain legal records
• Comply with legal obligations
• Establish or defend legal claims

Information is handled in accordance with the Minimaltank Privacy Policy.

23. Disclosure of Claim Information

Claim or counter-notice information may be disclosed to:

• The original claimant
• The affected content provider
• Website service providers
• Hosting providers
• Legal advisers
• Government authorities
• Courts
• Other parties when legally required

Do not submit information that is unnecessary to evaluate the claim.

Minimaltank cannot guarantee that all information included in a notice will remain confidential.

24. No Waiver of Rights

Nothing in this policy:

• Transfers copyright ownership
• Grants permission to use copyrighted material
• Waives any legal defense
• Prevents a copyright owner from pursuing legal remedies
• Prevents an affected party from contesting a claim
• Limits rights that cannot legally be waived

25. Changes to This Policy

Minimaltank may update this DMCA Copyright Infringement Policy to reflect changes involving:

• Website operations
• Copyright procedures
• Service providers
• Legal requirements
• Security measures
• Claim-handling practices
