DMCA & Copyright Policy

PullAPI respects intellectual property rights and is committed to responding to allegations of copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable laws. This policy outlines how to report copyright concerns related to data accessible through PullAPI's APIs.

PullAPI operates as an API service that returns structured data extracted from publicly accessible websites. It is important to understand how our service interacts with copyrighted material:

• Our APIs return structured data fields extracted from publicly accessible web pages in response to individual customer requests.
• PullAPI does not host, store long-term, or republish copyrighted content. We do not maintain a persistent database of scraped material.
• API responses are cached temporarily (15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on data type) solely for performance optimization. Cached data is automatically purged after the TTL expires.
• PullAPI encourages all users to respect copyright laws and the intellectual property rights of others in their use of data obtained through our APIs.

If you believe that material accessible through PullAPI's APIs infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. 512(c), your notice must include the following:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notification, provide a representative list.
2. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information sufficient to locate it. For PullAPI, this means the specific API endpoint, request parameters, and the response data you believe infringes your copyright.
3. Your contact information, including your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement of good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
6. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Incomplete notices may not receive a response. We recommend consulting legal counsel before filing a DMCA notice to ensure your claim is valid and complete.

Please send all DMCA takedown notices to our designated copyright agent:

Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice, PullAPI will take the following steps:

• Review the notice for completeness and validity.
• Promptly remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice, where applicable to our service.
• Notify the affected API user (if identifiable) that access to the material has been restricted.
• Maintain a record of the notice and the actions taken in response.

PullAPI maintains a repeat infringer policy. API users who are the subject of multiple valid DMCA takedown notices may have their access to our services terminated.

If you believe that material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent. Your counter-notification must include:

1. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
2. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
3. Your full legal name, mailing address, and telephone number.
4. A statement of consent to jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which PullAPI may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or an agent of such person.
5. A physical or electronic signature.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, PullAPI will forward it to the original complainant. If the original complainant does not file a court action seeking a restraining order within 10 to 14 business days, PullAPI may restore the removed material.

PullAPI reserves the right to remove or disable access to any content or functionality at its sole discretion, regardless of whether a formal DMCA notice has been received, if we have reason to believe that material accessible through our APIs infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others.

Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Do not file a DMCA notice or counter-notification unless you genuinely believe your claim is valid.
