Your notice should include
This notice format aligns with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act. In short, a complete notice lets us act quickly and correctly.
Once we receive your notice, we take these steps
Possible outcomes
If a complaint cannot be resolved, the content remains offline until the parties reach an agreement or a court directs otherwise.
If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter notice. This protects lawful uses such as licensed uses or fair use under United States law.
Your counter notice should include
After a valid counter notice, we may restore the content unless the original complainant informs us that a court action has been filed within the time allowed by law.
We do not allow repeat infringement. When we confirm repeated violations by the same contributor or account, we may suspend or terminate access to submission tools and remove related files. Think of this as the three strikes rule, used with judgment and fairness.
You want a smooth process. So do we. A few tips make a big difference
ColoringLands focuses on family friendly printables. Sometimes a use may be allowed by law, such as commentary, parody, or a classroom handout used within fair use limits. We evaluate each situation with care and respect for your rights. When questions are close, we work with you toward a solution that feels right and lawful.
Imagine Jay, a teacher in Ohio, uploads a classroom sheet to a shared drive, then sees a similar page on our site and worries it uses a protected worksheet. Jay sends a notice with links and screenshots. We confirm, review, and either show the license we already have or take the page down while we sort it out. The goal is simple. Do the right thing quickly and keep everyone informed.
To manage claims responsibly, we retain notices, counter notices, and related correspondence. We store only what we need for legal compliance and audit. We protect your data consistent with our Privacy Policy.
We may update this Takedown Policy to reflect new laws, court decisions, or improvements in our process. When we make changes, we update the effective date on this page and apply the new terms going forward.
