DMCA Policy

AlertHound respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). We are an aggregator of publicly available auction and marketplace listings. We display listing information from third-party platforms and do not host the underlying content.

If you believe that content appearing on AlertHound infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice using the procedure described below. We will respond promptly to valid notices in accordance with the DMCA.

If you believe your copyrighted work has been reproduced on AlertHound without authorization, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. Per 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works are covered by a single notice)
• Identification of the allegedly infringing material and its specific URL on our platform so that we can locate it
• Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf

Submit notices to our designated DMCA agent at: dmca@alerthound.io

Notices that do not comply with the statutory requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) may not receive a response. Submitting a false DMCA notice may subject you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

If you believe your content was removed from AlertHound in error or as a result of misidentification, you may file a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Your counter-notice must include all of the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal
• 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
• Your name, mailing 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 outside the United States, that you consent to jurisdiction in any judicial district in which AlertHound may be found)

Send your counter-notification to the same designated agent address above. Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will provide a copy to the original complainant and will wait 10 to 14 business days before restoring the content, unless the complaining party files a court action against you during that period and notifies us accordingly.

AlertHound will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat copyright infringers, in accordance with DMCA § 512(i). We review all valid takedown notices and will take action against accounts that repeatedly engage in infringing activity.

We reserve the right to remove content, suspend access, or terminate accounts without prior notice where we determine, in our sole discretion, that a pattern of infringement exists.

AlertHound aggregates publicly available listing information from third-party platforms including eBay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, government auction sites, and others. We surface listing titles, descriptions, images, and prices as they appear on those platforms.

Because we do not create or control the underlying listing content, we recommend that rights holders also submit takedown requests directly to the originating platform where the content was originally posted. Removing content from AlertHound's index will not remove the listing from its source platform.

Our DMCA agent will process notices related to content that appears within the AlertHound platform. For questions about this policy, contact us at dmca@alerthound.io.
