DMCA Policy

Last updated: October 9, 2026

RegMount respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the same from everyone who uses regmount.com. As a brand built around underwater video, we know how much time, money and skill goes into every clip and photo a diver brings back to the surface. This DMCA Policy explains how we respond to claims of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. §512, and how you can submit a notice or counter-notification.

Our Respect for Intellectual Property

Our website includes original product photos, videos, articles and graphics, as well as content that customers and fans share with us, such as dive videos and testimonials. We only want to publish material we have the right to use. When we receive a valid notice that content on our site infringes someone’s copyright, we will respond promptly by removing or disabling access to that material, as described below.

This policy applies to content hosted on regmount.com and its pages, including product pages, the videos page, the blog, the testimonials page and any user-submitted content. Embedded videos hosted on third-party platforms such as YouTube are also subject to those platforms’ own copyright procedures.

How to File a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that material on our website infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, send a written notification to our designated Copyright Agent. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), your notice must be in writing and must include substantially all of the following elements.

Required elements of a notice under §512(c)(3)

1. Signature. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed or, if multiple works at a single site are covered by one notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the infringing material. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it. The exact URL of each page is the most helpful way to do this.
4. Your contact information. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
5. Good-faith statement. A statement that you have 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. Accuracy and authority statement. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Tips for a notice we can act on quickly

• Include direct links to the specific pages, images or videos at issue rather than only our home page.
• Where possible, include a link to or description of your original work, such as the original upload or registration number if one exists.
• Use a clear subject line, such as “DMCA Takedown Notice.”
• Send one notice per complaint where practical, so each can be tracked and resolved.

Notices that do not substantially comply with §512(c)(3) may not be effective, and we may contact you to request missing information before taking action.

Where to Send Your Notice

Please send DMCA notices and counter-notifications to our designated agent:

Email is the fastest way to reach us. Our phone line is useful for confirming receipt, but please do not submit a notice by phone alone, because the DMCA requires a written notification. The Copyright Agent contact above is intended only for copyright matters. Product questions, orders and general inquiries should go through our contact page.

What Happens After We Receive a Notice

Counter-Notification Under §512(g)

If material you posted or provided was removed or disabled because of a DMCA notice, and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notification. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), a counter-notification must be in writing, sent to our designated agent, and include substantially the following:

Required elements of a counter-notification

1. Signature. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or disabled.
3. Statement under penalty of perjury. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
4. Contact details and consent to jurisdiction. Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which RegMount may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of that person.

The 10 to 14 Business Day Restore Process

After we receive a valid counter-notification, we will promptly provide a copy to the person who submitted the original takedown notice and inform them that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days.

We will then restore the material not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification, unless our designated agent first receives notice from the original complainant that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In appropriate circumstances, RegMount will disable or terminate the accounts, submission privileges or other access of users who are repeat infringers. We may also, at our discretion, limit access to our website or remove content from anyone who infringes the intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is repeat infringement. We take into account the number and validity of notices received and any successful counter-notifications when applying this policy.

Misrepresentation Liability Under §512(f)

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), 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, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by the copyright owner or its licensee, or by a service provider who relies on the misrepresentation.

In other words, do not send a takedown notice or a counter-notification unless you genuinely believe the facts you are stating are true.

Good-Faith Notes

• Consider fair use. Copyright owners should consider whether a use may qualify as fair use before sending a takedown notice.
• Talk to us first if you like. Many issues, such as a missing credit on a shared dive video, can be resolved with a quick email. We are happy to add attribution or remove content informally if that resolves your concern.
• Trademarks are different. The DMCA process covers copyright only. For trademark concerns, contact us directly and describe the issue.
• We are not your lawyer. This page explains our process; it is not legal advice.
• Customer content. If you sent us dive footage or a testimonial and would like it removed, just ask. You do not need to file a formal DMCA notice for your own content.

Non-U.S. Requests

RegMount is based in Florida, USA, and this policy is built around U.S. copyright law. We will also review copyright and intellectual property complaints submitted under the laws of other countries, including the European Union and the United Kingdom. Please include the same information described above, identify the law you are relying on and explain how it applies. We will assess each request in good faith and respond as required by applicable law. Requests about personal data rather than copyright are handled under our Privacy Policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law or our practices. The date at the top of this page shows the most recent revision. This policy is governed by the laws of the State of Florida and applicable U.S. federal law. See also our Terms and Conditions.
