Meltwater News US Inc. (“Meltwater”) respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask you to do the same. Meltwater will terminate service and/or access to the Meltwater website (located at www.meltwater.com) and the services offered on and through the Meltwater website (the “Meltwater Services”) to users who repeatedly use the Meltwater Services to infringe third parties’ copyrights.
If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any material on the Meltwater Services infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by sending the following information, in writing, to our designated agent (see 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):
Meltwater’s designated agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is:

You acknowledge that a notification of claimed infringement that does not comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512 may be invalid and that, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.
If you believe that your material on the Meltwater Services that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, you may send Meltwater a counter notification. To be effective this counter notification must be a written communication provided to our designated agent containing the following information (please consult your legal counsel and/or see 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) to confirm these requirements):
Meltwater’s designated agent to receive such counter notifications is:

You acknowledge that a counter notification that does not comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512 may be invalid and that, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.
If a counter notification is received by Meltwater’s designated agent, Meltwater may send a copy of the counter notification to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in ten (10) business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the provider of the material, member, or user, the removed material may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days or more after receipt of the counter notification, at Meltwater’s sole discretion.
