How Many DMCA Notices are Needed to Takedown a Website?

Hello,

I was wondering how many DMCA notices can a Shopify account take before being Taken Down?

Also If the account submits a Counter DMCA and prooves right, will the filed DMCA notice be removed?

I am worried because I have received 2 fake DMCA notices from a competitor and I wonder if I have 1 shot left before he takes down my account, or this data gets reset and I will still have 3 shots?

Any help would be appreciayted

Hi @JordanM .

Did you perhaps receive an email from our Trust and Safety team regarding the DMCA notice?

If you did, you’re best to reply to that email with your questions as our Trust and Safety team are best equipped to answer queries regarding account-specific DMCA notices. We don’t currently provide account-specific support via the Community Forums, so if you haven’t received an email from our Trust and Safety team then I suggest you open a support ticket with our internal team so that we can take a closer look at your situation from our end.

To get in touch with our team, you’ll need to login to your store via our help centre here. Once logged in, select a topic that best fits your query or situation. From there, you’ll be taken to a page with a list of relevant support articles, and you can scroll to the bottom of that page to select your preferred contact method with our team.

In the meantime, I’ll leave you with our help guide here with more information on DMCA, copyright and trademark.

@Kimi_2 I contacted them with multiple emails asking one simple question:

How many times can a website receive DMCA notices before getting a permanent takedown?

I never received an answer of this question from the Legal team. Please let me know
