The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a U.S. law designed to protect content creators from unauthorized use of their work online. It specifically addresses websites and services where users can upload or share content, ensuring that original creators have a process to report copyright infringements and request the removal of infringing material.
At MerlinReview, we take intellectual property rights seriously. It is our policy to promptly respond to any valid DMCA notices and take appropriate action in accordance with the law.
This DMCA Policy applies to merlinreview.com (“Website” or “Service”) and any related products or services offered through the Website (collectively, “Services”). It explains how we handle copyright infringement complaints and how you can submit a notification if you believe your copyrighted work has been used without authorization.
Important Considerations Before Submitting a Complaint
If you are unsure whether the material you are reporting actually infringes your copyright, we strongly recommend consulting an attorney before filing a DMCA notice.
Please be aware that the DMCA requires you to provide personal information when submitting a copyright infringement notification. If privacy is a concern, you may wish to seek legal guidance before proceeding.
Submitting a DMCA Notification
If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent and believe that any material available on our Services infringes your copyright, you may send a written copyright infringement notification (“Notification”) to us using the contact details provided below.
Your Notification must comply with the DMCA requirements, including:
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
- Identification of the material you believe is infringing, including the URL or other specific location where it appears.
- Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the Notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Filing a DMCA complaint begins a formal legal process. Once we receive your Notification, we will review it for accuracy, validity, and completeness. If it meets all requirements, our response may include removing or restricting access to the allegedly infringing material.
If we remove or restrict access to content or terminate an account in response to a Notification, we will make a good faith effort to contact the affected user with details of the action taken.
Please note that we reserve the right to take no action if the Notification does not comply with the DMCA’s legal requirements.

We may update or modify this DMCA Policy at any time. When changes are made, we will post the revised Policy on this page. Any updated version will become effective immediately upon posting unless otherwise specified. Your continued use of the Website and Services after any changes signifies your acceptance of the updated Policy.
