DMCA Takedown Policy

1. Overview

ListCrawler respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users and content sources to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512.

ListCrawler is an aggregator: we display listings that originate on independent third-party classified sites. We do not create, upload, or host the original content. Where content aggregated by ListCrawler is alleged to infringe copyright, we will act on a valid DMCA notice by removing or disabling access to the material on our index and, where appropriate, forwarding the notice to the original host.

2. Submitting a Takedown Notice

If you believe in good faith that material accessible on ListCrawler infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notification to our Designated Copyright Agent. To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material — the full URL of the listing on ListCrawler is required.
4. Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. 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.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

3. Designated Copyright Agent

Please send all DMCA notifications to our Designated Copyright Agent:

Email is the fastest way to reach us and typically results in a response within 48 hours. Notifications that do not reach our Designated Copyright Agent may not receive a timely response.

4. Counter-Notice

If you believe material you posted — or that was pulled into our directory on your behalf — was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. An effective counter-notice must include:

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

Send counter-notices to the same address listed under Designated Copyright Agent, with the subject line DMCA Counter-Notice.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we may forward a copy to the complaining party and, unless that party notifies us within 10–14 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the material.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

It is ListCrawler’s policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, to restrict access to or remove content from sources that are determined to be repeat infringers. "Repeat infringer" means a source — whether an individual poster or a third-party classified site — that has been the subject of multiple valid DMCA notices.

6. False or Abusive Claims

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages — including costs and attorneys’ fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or authorized licensee, or by ListCrawler.

Please ensure your DMCA notifications and counter-notifications are accurate before submitting. If you are unsure whether material is infringing or whether fair use or another exception applies, consider consulting an attorney.
