DMCA Notice

Titanium Touch respects the intellectual property rights of creators, photographers, designers, writers, and other rights holders. We aim to use original or properly authorized material throughout our bicycle repair and maintenance website. This includes written service descriptions, cycling guides, workshop photographs, graphics, logos, illustrations, and other materials published on these pages. We review sufficiently detailed copyright complaints and take appropriate action when a reported use requires further attention.

This notice explains how to report material that you believe infringes your copyright. Submitting a report does not automatically establish that infringement has occurred. Each sufficiently detailed complaint will be reviewed in light of the information provided, the location and nature of the reported material, and the circumstances of its use. We encourage reporting parties to provide clear, accurate details so that concerns can be assessed fairly.

Filing a notice

If you believe that text, photographs, illustrations, logos, diagrams, or another item on this website infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to represent, please send us a written notice. Identify the copyrighted work, provide the exact webpage URL or asset path where the material appears, and explain which part of the content you believe is being used without permission. For example, if the concern relates to a bicycle maintenance photograph or a technical illustration, identify the specific image and the page on which it appears.

If several items are involved, list each item separately and provide a distinct location for each report wherever possible. Include enough information for us to understand the claim and contact you if clarification is needed. A notice that does not identify the original work or the reported material may delay the review. Do not include passwords, payment information, private account credentials, or unrelated sensitive personal details in your submission.

What to include

Required item	Why it is needed
Your name and contact details	So Titanium Touch can identify the person submitting the report, request clarification when necessary, and provide a response about the review. If you represent a rights holder, explain your relationship to that person or organization.
A description of the copyrighted work	So the original work can be identified, including its title, creator, publication location, registration details where relevant, or other information that distinguishes it from similar material. For photographs or illustrations, a brief description may help establish which work is at issue.
The exact URL or asset path on this site	So the reported material can be located promptly. If possible, include the page address and describe where the content appears on that page, such as a service description, cycling guide, workshop image, or downloadable resource.
A good-faith statement	So the notice explains that you genuinely believe the challenged use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law. Include any relevant information about permission or licensing if it helps explain the basis of your concern.
An accuracy statement	So the notice confirms that the supplied information is accurate and that you own the relevant rights or are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder. Any declarations required by the applicable legal procedure should be included as appropriate.

Where applicable, a formal notice should also include the elements required under the relevant copyright law, such as an appropriate signature and any additional declarations required for a valid submission. The precise requirements can depend on the jurisdiction and the procedure being used. Titanium Touch cannot guarantee that a report will be actionable if required information is missing, inaccurate, or cannot be verified.

Review process

Once a sufficiently detailed notice is received, we will review the information provided and assess the reported content. Depending on the circumstances, we may remove or restrict access to the material while the claim is evaluated, contact the person responsible for supplying it, request further information, or take another appropriate action. The response will depend on the nature of the complaint, the available evidence, and the requirements that apply.

If the report is incomplete, unclear, or does not identify the material precisely, we may ask for additional details before proceeding. Submitting a notice does not guarantee removal, and a decision may require further assessment of ownership, permission, licensing, fair use or other applicable exceptions, and the circumstances in which the material was published. We aim to handle reports carefully and avoid taking action based solely on unsupported or ambiguous allegations.

When reviewing a report, we may consider whether the material was created for Titanium Touch, supplied by a third party, used under a license, or obtained from a source that permitted its publication. We may also consider whether the complaint identifies the correct work and whether the reported material is sufficiently similar to the work identified in the notice. These considerations help us determine what further steps may be appropriate.

Counter notice

If material has been removed or restricted because of a copyright complaint and you believe that action was taken in error, you may contact us with an explanation and supporting information. Identify the affected material, include the relevant page or asset address, and describe why you believe the content was misidentified, authorized, licensed, or otherwise removed by mistake. Where relevant, provide documentation or details that can help clarify the basis for your response.

Where a formal counter-notice procedure applies, additional information or declarations may be required by law. A response should be accurate and made in good faith. Titanium Touch will review the information received and determine the appropriate next steps in accordance with applicable requirements. Sending a counter notice does not guarantee that the material will be restored, and we may need to consider the original complaint and any further information before making a decision.

Repeat complaints and responsible use

We may consider relevant history when reviewing repeated copyright reports involving the same material or contributor. We also ask rights holders and reporting parties to provide accurate, specific information and to consider whether permission, licensing, an applicable exception, or another lawful basis may apply before submitting a complaint. Reports should focus on the material in question and include enough detail to distinguish it from unrelated content on the website.

Knowingly submitting false or materially misleading claims may have legal consequences under applicable law. This notice is intended to provide a practical way to raise copyright concerns and is not a substitute for legal advice regarding an individual dispute. If you are uncertain whether a particular use infringes copyright or whether a formal notice is appropriate, consider obtaining independent legal advice before submitting a claim.

Policy updates

Titanium Touch may update this notice when our website content, reporting procedures, or applicable legal requirements change. The version published on this page describes our current general approach to copyright concerns involving website text, photographs, graphics, cycling resources, and other published materials. Visitors submitting a copyright complaint should review the notice and provide complete, relevant information to help us assess the matter efficiently.
