Silent Partner Press (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our readers, authors, affiliates, and partners to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and will promptly respond to properly submitted notices of alleged infringement.

This page outlines how to notify us of a claimed copyright violation and what to expect once a notice has been submitted.

1. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that content available on or through any Silent Partner Press website, imprint page, storefront, or hosted digital product infringes your copyright, please submit a written DMCA notice to our designated agent:

Incomplete notices may delay processing and may not be acted upon.

2. What Happens After We Receive a Valid DMCA Notice

Once we receive a proper DMCA notice:

• We will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content.
• We will notify the user, contributor, or author who posted the content.
• We may share the notice with the affected party so they understand the claim.
• We may terminate repeat infringers at our discretion.

3. Submitting a DMCA Counter-Notice

If you believe your material was removed in error or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notice to our DMCA Agent.

Your counter-notice must include:

1. Your Signature
2. A physical or electronic signature.
3. Identification of Removed Content
4. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and where it appeared before removal.
5. Good Faith Statement
6. 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.
7. Jurisdiction Statement
8. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of federal courts in the State of Michigan and agreeing to accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice.
9. Your Contact Information
10. Full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

Once a valid counter-notice is received, we may restore the removed content unless the original complainant files a court action within 10–14 business days.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

Silent Partner Press reserves the right to:

• remove or disable content,
• suspend access, or
• permanently terminate accounts

for any user, contributor, or partner determined to be a repeat copyright infringer.

5. Misrepresentations

Knowingly submitting false DMCA notices or counter-notices can lead to legal liability—including damages and attorney fees—under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update or revise this DMCA Policy at any time. Continued use of our websites or services constitutes acceptance of any changes.
