9o9 Brand Technologies takes intellectual property rights very seriously and it is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement.
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy ('DMCA Policy')
- (i) describes the information that should be present in these notices,
- (ii) is incorporated by reference into our Terms and Conditions, and
- (iii) is consistent with the form suggested by the United States Digital Millennium
Copyright Act (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Website, https://www.copyright.gov/dmca/).
It is designed to make submitting notices of alleged infringement to us as straightforward as possible while reducing the number of notices that we receive that are fraudulent or difficult to verify. Unless otherwise stated, defined terms in this DMCA Policy have the meanings provided in our Terms and Conditions.
To file a notice of alleged infringement with us, you must provide a written notice that includes your full contact information and sets forth the items specified below. The takedown notice can be downloaded here.

- A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the disputed material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.

- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
You may submit the signed notification by email to the Compliance Department by email to compliance@9o9brand.com.

Please note that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that material is infringing your copyright. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.
9o9 Brand Technologies may respond to take-down notices by removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material and/or by terminating services. If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good faith attempt to contact the client and/or administrator of the affected site or content.
9o9 Brand Technologies may document notices of alleged infringement it receives and/or on which action is taken. As with all legal notices, a copy of the notice may be made available to the public and sent to one or more third parties who may make it available to the public. Upon receipt of notice from 9o9 Brand Technologies that a claim of infringement has been made and/or that the material has been removed or that access to it has been disabled, Client may provide a counter notice to 9o9 Brand Technologies. To be effective, a counter-notice must include ALL of the following information:
- A physical or electronic signature of the Client.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled.
- The location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that the Client has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
- The Client’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the Client's consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the Client is located, or if the Client’s address is outside of the United States, the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, and that the Client will accept service of process from the complainant or the complainant’s agent.
Upon receiving a proper counter-notice, 9o9 Brand Technologies will take
reasonable steps to restore the material in 10-14 business days unless the copyright owner commences
court proceedings to prevent the restoration of the material and 9o9 Brand Technologies is informed
of such proceedings.
9o9 Brand Technologies in its sole discretion reserves the right to suspend or terminate the services of client(s) who are found to have repeatedly infringed the copyright (or intellectual property) of others.
