DMCA Notice
DogsForum.org is a platform that accepts user-generated content, including written submissions, images, and videos from third-party sources. Occasionally, this content may include copyrighted materials.
Since third-party content is not directly controlled by DogsForum.org, we do not pre-screen submissions for potential copyright infringement. However, we take copyright concerns seriously and do not knowingly allow infringing materials to remain on our site.
Whenever possible, we strive to use materials that fall within legal usage rights, including those covered under Fair Use and Creative Commons guidelines.

If necessary, you may submit an official DMCA notice. Upon receiving a valid and complete notice, we will:
✔ Remove the infringing material from our platform.
✔ Notify the original uploader of the content alteration.
Important Considerations
- We cannot process DMCA claims for content hosted on third-party platforms.
- Due to the nature of user-generated content, we cannot guarantee the complete absence of copyrighted material.
- Before submitting a DMCA notice, please evaluate whether the material in question falls under Fair Use (e.g., commentary, journalism, education). If unsure, seek legal guidance before proceeding.
Legal Disclaimer
Filing a false or misleading DMCA claim may result in legal consequences, including liability for damages and attorney fees. Your notice may be shared with the original uploader and third parties, such as ChillingEffects.org, and a public note may be added to the affected content.
