DMCA Removal Policy
At History Club, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and are committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This DMCA Removal Policy outlines the procedures we follow to address claims of copyright infringement. By using our website, you agree to adhere to these guidelines and understand the steps involved in the DMCA process.
Filing a DMCA Notice
If you believe that your copyrighted material has been used on our website without authorization, you may submit a DMCA notice to request its removal. To ensure your notice is valid under the DMCA, it must include the following information:
Identification of the copyrighted work:
Clearly describe the work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are involved, you may provide a representative list.
Identification of the infringing material:
Specify the location of the material on our website that you believe infringes your copyright. Please provide URLs or other precise identifying information.
Your contact information:
Include your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address so we can contact you regarding your claim.
A statement of good faith:
Affirm that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in question is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement of accuracy:
Declare, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Responding to a DMCA Notice
Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will take the following steps:
Removal of infringing material: We will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
Notification to the user: If the material in question was uploaded by a user, we will notify them of the removal and provide them with a copy of the DMCA notice.
Opportunity to file a counter-notice: The user may submit a counter-notice if they believe the removal was in error or that they are authorized to use the material.
Filing a Counter-Notice
If you receive a notification that your material has been removed due to a DMCA notice, you may file a counter-notice to dispute the claim. A valid counter-notice must include:
Identification of the material: Specify the material that was removed and its location before removal.
A statement of good faith: Assert, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
Your contact information: Provide your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
Consent to jurisdiction: Agree to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district or, if outside the United States, the jurisdiction of the courts where we are located.
Your signature: Include your physical or electronic signature.
Send your counter-notice to our DMCA Agent at the contact information provided above.
Reinstating Removed Material
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a lawsuit within 10 business days, we may reinstate the removed material.
Misuse of the DMCA Process
History Club takes the DMCA process seriously. Submitting false or misleading claims or counter-notices may result in legal consequences. We reserve the right to seek damages or take other appropriate action against individuals who misuse this process.

We may update this DMCA Removal Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page, and the revised policy will take effect immediately upon posting.
