AudioTools respects the intellectual property rights of creators and developers. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and other applicable international intellectual property laws, we maintain a rigorous policy for responding to notices of alleged infringement.
Our Commitment to Developers
We value the hard work that goes into creating the tools we feature. If your copyrighted material is hosted on our platform or linked via our search engine without authorization, we provide a streamlined process for immediate review and removal.
Filing a Take-Down Notice
To ensure your request is processed efficiently, please provide a written communication containing the following essential details:
- Proof of Authority: Evidence that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right being allegedly infringed.
- Contact Information: A valid email address and secondary contact method so our team can reach you directly.
- Identification of Work: Clear identification of the copyrighted work in question, including at least one specific search term or URL where the material appears on AudioTools.
- Statement of Good Faith: A declaration that you have a “good faith belief” that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- Statement of Accuracy: A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
Submission Guidelines & Response Time Please allow 1–2 business days for our team to investigate and respond to your claim. Note that contacting our Internet Service Provider (ISP) directly may result in significant delays, as requests must be filed through our internal compliance department to be verified.
Authentic Representation Policy
To ensure the integrity of our communications, AudioTools prioritizes direct dialogue with developers.
- Direct Requests: We strongly prefer to work directly with software developers and creators. Notices sent from an official company domain are prioritized.
- Third-Party Services: We do not typically respond to automated “Anti-Piracy Service Companies” unless they can provide documented, court-confirmed proof that they are the official legal representatives for the copyright holder in question.
Legal Notice
Please be aware that under the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorney fees.
