Polish Index

DMCA / Copyright Policy

Last updated: July 12, 2026

Our commitment

Polish Index respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we ask our users to do the same. Polish Index is operated by Code in Color, LLC, a Florida limited liability company.

This policy explains how to send us a copyright takedown notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), how to send a counter-notice if your content was removed by mistake, and our policy on repeat infringers.

How to report copyright infringement

If you believe that content available through Polish Index infringes a copyright you own or control, you can send a written notice to our Designated Copyright Agent.

A valid notice must include all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
  3. Identification of the material you believe is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it (for example, the polish name and brand, the screen where it appears, or a link or screenshot).
  4. Your contact information: full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Please note: under Section 512(f), knowingly making a material misrepresentation that content is infringing can make you liable for damages. If you are not sure whether the material is protected, talk to a lawyer before sending a notice.

Designated Copyright Agent

Send your notice to:

DMCA Designated Agent Code in Color, LLC 611 S. Ft. Harrison Ave #220, Clearwater FL 33756 Email: legal@polishindex.app

Our agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Directory (copyright.gov/dmca-directory).

What happens after you send a notice

  1. We will acknowledge your notice.
  2. If the notice is valid, we will expeditiously remove or disable access to the specific material in question.
  3. If the material was uploaded by a user of Polish Index, we will let that user know it was removed and give them information about filing a counter-notice.

We remove the specific item identified, not the entire polish entry, and we may replace a removed image with a note that it was removed in response to a copyright notice.

Counter-notification (if your content was removed by mistake)

If you are a Polish Index user and you believe your content was removed because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the agent above.

A counter-notice must include (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)):

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Polish Index may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.

After we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the person who filed the original notice. If that person does not file a court action seeking to keep the material down within 10 to 14 business days, we may restore the material.

Repeat infringers

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. A user who is the subject of two or more substantiated takedown notices may have their content removed, their account suspended, and, on a third substantiated notice, their account permanently terminated.

Trademark and other complaints

The DMCA covers copyright only. If your concern is about a trademark, your name or likeness, defamation, or private information rather than copyright, please email legal@polishindex.app and describe the issue. Do not use the DMCA notice format for non-copyright matters.
