Copyright Policy & DMCA Notices

Last updated: July 24, 2026

HeyDoWhat LLC ("HeyDoWhat") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the businesses and users on our platform to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. §512.

Designated Copyright Agent

Notices of claimed copyright infringement should be sent to our designated agent:

Service Provider: HeyDoWhat LLC
Designated Agent: Copyright Agent
Address: 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801
Telephone: 346-397-8823
Email: dmca@heydowhat.com

Email is the fastest way to reach the agent. This address is for copyright notices only — general support requests sent here will not receive a response. For anything else, please use the contact form on our home page.

Submitting a Notice of Claimed Infringement

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)(A), your written notice must include substantially all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or — if multiple works at a single site are covered by one notice — a representative list of those works.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it. Please include the specific listing URL and, where the claim concerns one photograph, identify that photograph.
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

A notice missing these elements may not be effective, and we may ask you to supply the missing information before we act.

What We Do When We Receive a Valid Notice

We will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified in a valid notice, and we will take reasonable steps to notify the business or user who posted it that the material has been removed or disabled. Where a notice concerns a single image, we will ordinarily remove that image rather than the entire listing.

Counter-Notification

If you believe your material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the agent above. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3) it must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. 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 HeyDoWhat may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or an agent of that person.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original notice. Unless that party notifies us that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the removed material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after we receive the counter-notification.

Repeat Infringers

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. §512(i), HeyDoWhat has adopted and reasonably implements a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users and businesses who are repeat infringers. We may also suspend or terminate an account, or remove or disable content, at any time where we believe infringement or other violation of our Terms of Service has occurred.

Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Please consider whether your use of the material is a fair use before submitting a notice.
