DMCA & Copyright Policy

Last updated: 7 September 2026

OSFILE respects intellectual-property rights and reviews clear copyright or rights-holder notices concerning material available through the site.

Before sending a notice

Please identify the exact OSFILE URL and the specific material you believe infringes your rights. Broad notices that do not identify the material or the relevant rights can be difficult to investigate.

What to include

• Your name and a reliable way to contact you.
• Identification of the copyrighted work or other protected material.
• The exact OSFILE URL where the material appears.
• A clear explanation of the rights you hold or are authorised to represent.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or applicable law.
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate.

Review process

OSFILE may temporarily restrict access to disputed material while a notice is reviewed. We may request additional information where a claim is incomplete, and we may preserve basic records needed to evaluate repeated or abusive notices.

Counter-information and mistakes

If material is removed in error, the affected party may contact OSFILE with the exact URL, an explanation of the mistake and any supporting rights or licence information. OSFILE may seek additional information before restoring access.

Send a notice

Use the contact information shown on this page or the Contact page. Do not send unrelated printer support questions through a copyright notice; use the normal file-request or troubleshooting routes instead.
