What we publish

How to report copyright infringement

If you believe content on this site infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to our designated copyright contact:

Copyright notices, ChinaPayCheck
Email: hello@chinapaycheck.com (subject line: Copyright notice)

A complete notice contains:

  1. your physical or electronic signature, as the owner or a person authorised to act for the owner;
  2. the copyrighted work you say is infringed, or a representative list if there are several;
  3. the exact URL on chinapaycheck.com of the material you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it;
  4. your name, postal address, telephone number and email address;
  5. a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
  6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

What happens next

We review each complete notice and act promptly: the material is removed or access to it is disabled, and where a third party supplied it we tell them. If a notice is incomplete we ask for the missing points. An embedded video can also be removed at the source: when its owner deletes the post or disables embedding on the platform, it no longer plays on our page.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed because of a notice and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It contains your signature; the material and where it appeared before removal; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address and telephone number; and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, outside the United States, of any judicial district in which ChinaPayCheck may be found), with your agreement to accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice. We may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after a valid counter-notice, unless the rights holder tells us it has filed a court action.

Repeat infringement

We stop publishing material from any contributor or source that is the subject of repeated valid notices.

Trademarks and other concerns

For a trademark, publicity or privacy concern about a page, write to the same address with the URL and the right you rely on. We review it in the same way.

Misuse of this procedure

A person who knowingly makes a false claim in a notice or counter-notice can be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
