This page explains how to submit a Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") takedown notice to Listcrawler LLC, what we do when we receive one, and how you can file a counter-notification if you believe your content was removed in error. Please read the whole page carefully before filing — incomplete notices will be returned, and knowingly false claims carry legal penalties.
Our Role as an Aggregator
Listcrawler aggregates publicly available listings from third-party sources across the web. We do not create, host, or produce any of the listings displayed on the Service — we index links and snippets and send visitors to the original source site.
Because of this, if you see infringing images, text, or other content on Listcrawler, the fastest way to permanently remove it is usually to send a DMCA notice to the source site where the content actually lives. That said, we will promptly remove any infringing reference from our index upon receiving a valid notice.
Required Elements of a DMCA Notice
To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your takedown notice must include all of the following elements. Missing any one of them may result in your notice being rejected.
- Your signature — a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorized to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the work — a clear description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are involved, include a representative list.
- Identification of the infringing material — the exact URL(s) on Listcrawler where the allegedly infringing content appears, so we can find and remove it.
- Your contact information — your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- Good-faith statement — a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- Accuracy and authority statement — a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
Where to Send Your Notice
Send your complete DMCA notice to our designated agent by email. Email is the fastest and preferred method. Notices sent to any other address may be delayed or ignored.
Designated Agent for DMCA Notices
For the fastest response, put "DMCA Takedown Notice" in the subject line and include all six required elements in the body of the email. Attach supporting documentation (such as proof of ownership) if available.
What Happens After We Receive Your Notice
Once we receive a complete and valid DMCA notice, we will:
- Confirm receipt of your notice by email, usually within one business day.
- Review the notice to make sure it contains all required elements.
- Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material expeditiously, typically within 24-72 hours.
- Notify the third-party source where the content originated when possible, so it can also be removed at the source.
- Keep a record of the notice as required by law.
If your notice is incomplete or unclear, we'll reply and let you know what's missing. We will not act on notices that don't meet the statutory requirements.
Counter-Notification
If you believe your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Your counter-notification must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
- 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.
- Your full name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the district where you live (or, if outside the US, any district where Listcrawler may be found) and agreeing to accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.
Send counter-notifications to legal@listcrawler.llc with "DMCA Counter-Notification" in the subject line. If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the removed material in 10-14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action against you.
Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with the DMCA, Listcrawler maintains a policy of terminating access for users who are determined to be repeat infringers. Because we do not host user accounts, "termination" in our context means removing any ongoing references to content associated with a repeat infringer and refusing to re-index such content going forward.
We evaluate each case individually and take into account the circumstances surrounding any repeated claims.
False Claims & Penalties
Other Contact Methods
If you're unable to use email, you can reach us through our general contact page, but please be aware that email to legal@listcrawler.llc is by far the fastest way to reach our DMCA agent. Notices sent through general support channels may take longer to route to the right person.
