1. Service Provider

WPARTS operates an online platform and hosts Seller listings and seller websites. For User Content, WPARTS acts as a service provider under 17 U.S.C. § 512 to the extent that statute applies. WPARTS is not the publisher of Seller listings or hosted-site copy. See the Site Builder & Hosting Terms and the Terms of Service.

2. Designated Copyright Agent

Notifications of claimed infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2) should be sent to:

WPARTS Copyright Agent
WPARTS LLC


Email: [email protected]

The agent will be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory. We do not claim that registration is already complete. Until the Directory listing is live, send notices to the email and address above and mark them “Copyright Agent / DMCA Notice.”

3. How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice

The copyright owner (or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf) must provide a written notification containing the following information to be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit WPARTS to locate the material (for example, the exact URL of the listing, image, or page on wparts.com or a hosted seller site).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit WPARTS to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that the complaining party has a 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.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that the complaining party is the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Send DMCA notices to [email protected].

WPARTS may request additional information. Incomplete notices may delay action.

4. How WPARTS Processes a Valid Notice

• Upon receipt of a properly formatted notice, WPARTS will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
• WPARTS will make a good-faith attempt to notify the user who posted the material and will provide that user with the notice (or a redacted copy as allowed by law).
• WPARTS will retain records of notices and actions taken and may preserve copies of removed content for legal purposes.
• If the user submits a timely and proper counter-notice, WPARTS may restore the material in accordance with the DMCA’s timelines unless the complaining party files a court action seeking a restraining order.

5. Counter-Notice

A user who believes content was removed or disabled by mistake may submit a written counter-notice containing the elements in 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

1. The user’s physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before removal (for example, the URL).
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. The user’s name, address, telephone number, and a statement that the user consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the user’s address is located (or, if the user’s address is outside the United States, that the user will accept service of process from the complaining party), and that the user will accept service of process from the complaining party.

Send the counter-notice to [email protected].

After receiving a valid counter-notice, WPARTS will forward it to the complaining party and inform them that we will replace the material in no fewer than 10 and no more than 14 business days, unless the complaining party files an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in the infringing activity.

6. False Claims

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. WPARTS may pursue remedies against persons who submit false or bad-faith notices or counter-notices, and may suspend accounts used for that purpose.

7. Repeat Infringer Policy

WPARTS will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. WPARTS treats a user as a repeat infringer if the user receives three (3) or more valid DMCA takedown notices within a rolling 12-month period, or if the user’s activity is flagrantly infringing. WPARTS may provide warnings, remove listings or hosted pages, or terminate sooner where the circumstances warrant or the law requires. A successful counter-notice or a withdrawal of the complaint may be taken into account when counting notices.

8. Trademark, Counterfeit, and Other IP

This Policy covers copyright. For trademark infringement, counterfeit OEM parts, design patents, or other intellectual property claims, use the procedures in the Intellectual Property & Counterfeit Policy. Sellers must not list counterfeit or unauthorized branded parts. See also the Prohibited Items Policy and the Seller Agreement.

9. Other Removals

WPARTS may remove or disable content for reasons beyond a DMCA notice, including safety, fraud, prohibited items, or the Acceptable Use Policy, without waiting for a statutory notice.
