1 Purpose of This Policy

This DMCA and Copyright Policy applies to content, product listings, files, images, text, documents, links and other material made available through repmanual.com.

In this policy, “Repair Manual,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Rep Manual LLC.

We intend to respond appropriately to valid notifications of claimed copyright infringement in accordance with applicable United States copyright law, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512, where that statute applies.

Copyright complaints only: The DMCA process concerns copyright. Trademark, counterfeit, privacy, defamation, contract and other complaints should not be submitted as DMCA notices unless copyright infringement is also involved.

2 Independent Seller & Manufacturer References

Repair Manual is an independent seller of technical publications and related materials.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Repair Manual is not sponsored by, affiliated with, endorsed by, or an authorized representative of the equipment manufacturers referenced on this website.

Manufacturer names, machine names, model numbers and other references may be used to identify the equipment or publication associated with a listing.

Third-party copyrights and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

3 Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner, and believe material available through Repair Manual infringes an exclusive copyright right, you may submit a written notification to our designated DMCA agent.

Please identify the allegedly infringing material as specifically as possible. Providing the exact webpage URL, product URL or file location will help us locate and review the material efficiently.

Do not submit vague notices. A general statement that an entire website, category or catalog infringes copyright may not provide enough information for us to identify the specific material at issue.

4 Requirements for a DMCA Takedown Notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a notification of claimed infringement should be a written communication provided to our designated agent and should substantially include all of the following information.

  1. Your signature.
    A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the allegedly infringed exclusive right.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work.
    Identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are involved, you may provide a representative list where legally appropriate.
  3. Identification of the material complained of.
    Identify the material that you claim is infringing or is the subject of infringing activity and that you request be removed or disabled.
  4. Location of the material.
    Provide information reasonably sufficient for us to locate the material, preferably including the exact URL or URLs.
  5. Your contact information.
    Provide information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you, such as your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
  6. Good-faith statement.
    Include 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.
  7. Accuracy and authority statement.
    Include a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right allegedly infringed.

A notice that does not substantially satisfy the statutory requirements may delay our ability to investigate or respond.

5 What We May Do After Receiving a Notice

After receiving a sufficiently complete copyright complaint, we may review the notice and the identified material.

Where appropriate and required by applicable law, we may act expeditiously to remove or disable access to material identified in a valid notice.

1. Review We review whether the notice identifies the work, material, claimant and required statutory statements.
2. Locate We attempt to identify the exact listing, file, image, webpage or other material referenced in the complaint.
3. Action Where appropriate, we may remove or disable access to the material while the matter is addressed.
4. Notification Where the DMCA counter-notice procedure applies, we may notify the affected subscriber or content provider of the removal.

Removal of material in response to a claim is not necessarily an admission that the material infringes copyright.

6 Counter Notification

If material you supplied or are responsible for has been removed or disabled and you believe the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter notification where the DMCA counter-notice procedure applies.

A counter notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) should substantially contain:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. identification of the material that was removed or disabled;
  3. identification of the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
  4. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification;
  5. your name, address and telephone number;
  6. a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States Federal District Court as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3);
  7. a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original infringement notice, or that person’s agent.
Counter notices have legal consequences. Do not submit a counter notification unless you genuinely believe the material was removed because of mistake or misidentification.

7 Restoration After a Counter Notification

When we receive a valid counter notification and the statutory process applies, we may provide a copy to the person who submitted the original copyright complaint.

Subject to the DMCA, material may be restored not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receipt of a valid counter notification unless the original complaining party informs us that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

8 Repeat Infringer Policy

Where applicable, Repair Manual maintains a policy providing for termination or other appropriate restriction of subscribers or account holders who are determined, in appropriate circumstances, to be repeat infringers.

In evaluating appropriate action, we may consider circumstances including:

  • the number and nature of copyright complaints;
  • whether complaints appear valid and adequately supported;
  • whether counter notifications were submitted;
  • whether material was repeatedly reposted after removal;
  • court orders or other reliable evidence;
  • patterns of intentional infringement or abuse.

Depending on the circumstances, action may include removal of material, restrictions on functionality, suspension or termination of an account.

9 Misrepresentations & Abuse of the DMCA Process

Copyright complaints and counter notifications should be submitted only after careful consideration of the facts and applicable law.

Knowingly making material misrepresentations in a DMCA notice or counter notification can have legal consequences.

Before filing a notice, a claimant should consider whether the complained-of use may be authorized by the copyright owner, licensed, in the public domain, or otherwise permitted by law.

Repair Manual reserves the right to reject, request clarification of, or take appropriate action regarding abusive, fraudulent, obviously deficient or bad-faith complaints.

10 Trademark Complaints

The DMCA is a copyright procedure and generally does not govern trademark disputes.

If your concern relates to unauthorized use of a trademark, business name, logo, trade dress or allegations of counterfeit goods rather than copyright infringement, contact us separately at:

info@repmanual.com

Clearly identify the trademark, registration information if applicable, the complained-of material and the basis for your claim.

11 Technical Manuals, Publications & Product Listings

Repair Manual’s catalog may reference technical manuals, workshop manuals, service manuals, operator publications, parts catalogs and other documents associated with third-party equipment manufacturers.

A manufacturer’s name appearing in a product title or description does not itself establish ownership of every element appearing on a webpage, nor does it establish that Repair Manual is affiliated with that manufacturer.

Copyright complaints concerning a particular publication should identify the specific copyrighted work and the specific Repair Manual URL or material alleged to infringe.

Please be specific. If your claim concerns a particular edition, manual number, publication number, image or document, include that information in your notice whenever available.

12 No General Monitoring Obligation

Nothing in this policy should be interpreted as a representation that Repair Manual continuously monitors every item, communication, webpage or file for potential copyright infringement.

We may nevertheless investigate material when we receive a complaint, become aware of relevant facts, or otherwise determine that review is appropriate.

13 Changes to This Policy

We may update this DMCA and Copyright Policy periodically to reflect changes in applicable law, our website, our processes or our business.

The current version will be posted on this page together with the date of the most recent update.

Common Copyright Questions

Can I send a DMCA complaint by email?
Yes, provided the notice is delivered to the designated agent and contains the information required for a valid notice. Electronic signatures are permitted under the DMCA.
Do I need to identify the exact URL?
Providing an exact URL is strongly recommended because a DMCA notice must include information reasonably sufficient to allow the service provider to locate the complained-of material.
What if my complaint concerns a trademark instead?
Trademark disputes are not normally handled through the DMCA. Contact us directly and clearly identify the trademark issue.
Does removal mean Repair Manual admits infringement?
No. Material may be temporarily or permanently disabled while a copyright complaint is reviewed or processed. Removal by itself is not an admission of infringement.
