Content Takedown Policy

Welcome to the Forms Tennessee Content Takedown Policy page. Here, we're committed to fostering a respectful, lawful online environment. We understand that certain content may sometimes cross lines or infringe upon others' rights, and we are devoted to addressing these concerns promptly and effectively. This page guides you through our content removal process, ensuring that your concerns are heard and acted upon with fairness and in accordance with legal standards.

Understanding Our Approach

At Forms Tennessee, we take intellectual property rights seriously. Our approach to content takedown requests is designed to protect these rights while also maintaining a platform that offers valuable, law-abiding resources. If you believe that any content on our site infringes upon your copyright or other legal rights, we are here to help. By following our outlined process, you can submit a complaint, and we will undertake a thorough review, balancing the interests of all parties involved.

How to Submit a Takedown Notice

If you come across content on our website that you believe should be removed, we encourage you to inform us by sending a detailed notice. Your notification should be sent to dmca@formstennessee.com and must include:

  • A clear identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.

  • A detailed description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on our site.

  • Your contact information, including address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.

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

  • A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

Our Process

Upon receiving a properly formatted takedown notice, Forms Tennessee will take the following steps:

  1. Assess the validity of the complaint and determine if it contains all the necessary information.

  2. Temporarily remove or disable access to the material in question, pending a thorough investigation.

  3. Attempt to contact the provider of the challenged content, notifying them of the complaint.

  4. Take appropriate action based on the outcome of our investigation, which may include permanently removing the content from our site or restoring access if we determine the content does not infringe upon any rights.

Counter-Notification

If content you have posted on our site has been taken down due to a takedown notice and you believe this was done in error, you have the right to send us a counter-notification. Your counter-notification should provide sufficient information for us to make a decision regarding the restoration of the material. This includes:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.

  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.

  • Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Forms Tennessee may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

The process for handling counter-notifications is similar to our initial review process and aims to ensure fairness and legal compliance.
