DMCA Compliance & Copyright Infringement Claims

Last updated: March 13, 2026   |   Cazota – respecting intellectual property in the digital age.

Cazota respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users and customers to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we have established procedures for receiving notices of claimed copyright infringement and for responding to such notices. This page outlines those procedures and provides the information you need to submit a valid DMCA notice or counter-notice.

1. What is the DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that implements two 1996 WIPO treaties. It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM) and also heightens the penalties for copyright infringement on the Internet.

For online service providers like Cazota (operating through Shopify), the DMCA provides "safe harbor" protections from copyright infringement liability for the actions of our users, provided we comply with certain requirements, including:

• Designating an agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement.
• Adopting and reasonably implementing a policy for terminating repeat infringers.
• Accommodating standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify and protect their works.

This page fulfills our obligation to provide clear information about how copyright owners can report alleged infringement occurring on or through our website.

2. Filing a DMCA Notice (Infringement Claim)

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content on the Cazota website (cazota.com) infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) for further details):

3. Cazota's Designated Copyright Agent

All DMCA notices should be sent to our designated agent as specified below. Please note that email communication is preferred for the fastest processing, but we accept notices via mail as well.

When we receive a proper DMCA notice, we will:

• Promptly investigate the claim.
• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
• Take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material (the "subscriber").
• Provide the subscriber with a copy of the notice and information about filing a counter-notice.

4. DMCA Counter-Notice Procedure

If you believe that material you posted on our website was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice with us. To be effective under the DMCA, a counter-notice must be a written communication provided to our Designated Agent that includes substantially the following:

Please send your counter-notice to the same Designated Agent contact information provided above (dmca@cazota.com or by mail). Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice:

1. We will provide the original complaining party with a copy of the counter-notice.
2. We will inform the complaining party that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it within 10 business days.
3. We will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the counter-notice, unless our Designated Agent first receives notice from the original complaining party that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our system or network.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

Cazota takes copyright infringement seriously. In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users or account holders who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the website and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

A "repeat infringer" is typically defined as a user who has been the subject of more than one valid DMCA notice. However, we reserve the right to terminate a user's access after a single instance of egregious or willful infringement.

6. Misrepresentations and Liability

Section 512(f) of the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.

Please ensure that all information you provide in your notice or counter-notice is accurate and complete.

7. Non-DMCA Intellectual Property Concerns

If you wish to report other types of intellectual property concerns that are not covered by the DMCA (such as trademark infringement, trade dress violations, or design patent issues), please see our main Intellectual Property Claim page or contact us directly at legal@cazota.com.
