DMCA Policy

Last Updated: October 2026

CodePaks respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies fully with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). We expect our users and community to do the same.

If you believe that content available on or through our website infringes upon your copyright, please notify our legal desk using the formal notification process outlined below.

1. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

To file a formal copyright infringement notification with CodePaks, you must submit a written communication that contains all of the following elements:

• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
• The exact URL or specific location of the allegedly infringing material hosted on our site.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information provided in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
• Your full legal name, physical mailing address, telephone number, and verifiable corporate email address.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

2. What Happens After We Receive a DMCA Notice?

Upon receiving a legally compliant DMCA notice, our legal and compliance desk will take the following steps:

• We will conduct an expeditious review of the claim and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the disputed material within 24 to 48 hours.
• We may notify the affected contributor or account holder so they have an opportunity to submit a formal counter-notification, if applicable.
• Repeated, proven copyright violations will result in permanent account termination and repository access restriction.

3. Submitting a Counter-Notification

If you believe that your distributed material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification containing:

• Your full name, physical address, phone number, and email address.
• Identification of the material that has been removed and the URL where it appeared prior to removal.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Please deliver your counter-notification directly to our designated email: support@codepaks.com.

4. GPL and Third-Party Products

All downloadable software assets available on CodePaks are distributed pursuant to the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). If you believe that a GPL-licensed product on our repository infringes upon your copyright, please explicitly detail:

• The specific software component or non-code asset that you claim is not covered under the GPL.
• Documented evidence demonstrating your exclusive proprietary ownership of that specific element.

5. Abuse of the DMCA Process

Filing false, fraudulent, or abusive DMCA notifications is a direct violation of federal law under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). CodePaks reserves the right to seek damages, including legal costs and attorney fees, from any party submitting bad-faith takedown notices.
