If you believe material infringing your copyright is being hosted on a NewsWhip site please contact our Copyright Agent with a notice containing the following information:

  • Your contact details including an address, telephone number and email address;
  • A description of the allegedly infringing material together with a link to the page where the material is hosted (we need as much information as possible to enable us to identify the infringing material);
  • A statement that you believe in good faith, that the material you have identified above is not being used with authorisation from the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information contained in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act as an agent on behalf of the copyright owner;
  • Your e-signature or physical signature.

Newswhip may request additional information from you prior to removing any allegedly infringing material. Where NewsWhip removes the infringing materials NewsWhip may provide the posting party with the complainant’s details to enable the party to respond to the allegations.
