Copyright Policy

This is the official copyright policy (the “Copyright Policy”) for The SMB Guide.

The SMB Guide respects the rights of others and we expect users of our websites and services to do the same.

1.1 How to File an Infringement Notification. If you have evidence, know, or have a good faith belief that content residing on or accessible through our website infringes a copyright which you own or for which you are a designated agent, please send a notice of infringement by fax or regular mail with the information that sets forth the items specified below.

To expedite our ability to process your request, please use the following format:

• Provide your full name, address, and telephone number should we need to clarify your claim.
• Provide a working email address where we can contact you to confirm your claim.
• Identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, provide a representative list of such works.
• Identify the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. Include information reasonably sufficient to permit The SMB Guide to locate the material. Please provide a URL and screenshots for each item. Include the specific asset(s) or page(s) that you claim to be infringing. Say entire work ONLY if all assets/pages in a collection/document are infringing.
• Include details of your claim to the material, or your relationship to the material’s copyright holder.
