DMCA & Copyright Policy
Knowingly false copyright claims may result in legal action
Incendio respects the intellectual property rights of others and takes misuse of copyright reporting systems seriously. If you believe material on incendiofirewands.com infringes your copyright, please send your report to us first using the form below. This lets us investigate and resolve the matter directly.
We do not accept fabricated evidence, false claims of ownership or deliberately misleading takedown requests. We keep records of all reports and reserve the right to take legal action and recover proven damages and legal costs where the law allows, including under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Where relevant, we cooperate with Shopify in investigating abuse of its reporting tools. Every report is judged on its own facts; an honest mistake is not treated as a knowingly false claim.
What your report must include
Reports must come from the copyright owner or someone authorised to act for them. A formal DMCA notice must contain the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):
- Your identity and contact details: full legal name, postal address, phone number and email address, plus your organisation (if any) and the rights holder you represent.
- The original work: identify the copyrighted photo, text or other work, with a link to the original source or a detailed description. For several works, a representative list is acceptable.
- The material you are reporting: the exact Incendio page URL(s) and the specific image, text or other material in dispute. A link to our homepage alone is not enough.
- Your rights and evidence: explain how you own the work or are authorised to act, and why you believe the use is unauthorised. You may attach original files, dated screenshots, licences or other evidence. Copyright registration is not required to submit a report.
- Good-faith statement: “I have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”
- Accuracy and authority statement: “The information in this notice is accurate, and I declare under penalty of perjury that I am the copyright owner or authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.”
- Your signature: type your full legal name as your electronic signature.
Evidence and attachments
You may upload up to two supporting files (PDF, JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or GIF, under 10 MB each). Use the first for proof of ownership or authority, and the second for screenshots or other supporting documents. Attachments are optional, but please describe your work and evidence clearly either way.
How we handle reports
We review every report promptly and may ask for clarification or more evidence. Depending on what we find, we may remove or restrict access to the material or take other appropriate action. Submitting a report does not prove infringement or guarantee removal. If you follow up, please reference your earlier report instead of submitting a duplicate.
This form is for copyright only. Trademark, design and patent concerns involve different rights and should be clearly identified as such. Asking you to contact us first does not limit your legal options, including your right to contact Shopify or a competent authority.
Privacy
We use the information and files you send only to assess, document and respond to your report and to handle any related dispute. Where necessary and legally permitted, we may share relevant details with Shopify, professional advisers or competent authorities. Please include only relevant information and avoid unnecessary sensitive personal data. Submitting a report does not sign you up for marketing. See our Privacy Policy.
