DMCA notice & takedown

Last updated: 2026-05-07

FewerJobs respects copyright. We process notices of claimed infringement under the procedures set out in 17 U.S.C. § 512. This page describes how to send a valid notice, what we will do with it, how to send a counter-notice if your content was removed in error, and our policy on repeat infringers.

Designated agent

Send all DMCA notices to:

FewerJobs DMCA Agent
Email: [email protected] (preferred — fastest acknowledgment)
Postal: Designated agent registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is in progress; postal address will be published here once the registration record is live.

What a valid notice must include

To be effective under § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if many works at one site, a representative list).
Identification of the allegedly infringing material with reasonable specificity — the FewerJobs URL is the most useful identifier.
Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

What we do when we receive a valid notice

Acknowledge receipt within 2 business days.
Remove or disable access to the identified material expeditiously.
Take reasonable steps to notify the affected user that the material has been removed.
Log the notice and our response for our records (notices are not published publicly, but may be aggregated in transparency reports).

Counter-notice (§ 512(g))

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice. It must include:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, and telephone number, and 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, for any judicial district in which FewerJobs may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or from that person's agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original notice-sender notifies us that they have filed a court action.

Repeat-infringer policy

Accounts that are the subject of repeated, unrebutted DMCA notices may be terminated. FewerJobs is currently a content-aggregation site without user-generated job postings; this policy applies primarily to any future feature that accepts uploads.

What this page is not

This page is FewerJobs' notice-and-takedown procedure for copyright claims under U.S. law.

False notices

Material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may subject the sender to liability for damages, costs, and attorneys' fees under § 512(f). We treat the perjury attestations seriously.
