Content Removal & Takedown Policy

Last updated: August 24, 2025


Explains how content removal requests and takedown actions are handled.

Reporting Intellectual Property Infringement

Create It Studio Architects ("The Firm") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of its website (www.createitstudios.co.uk) to do the same. This Takedown Policy outlines the process for copyright and other intellectual property owners to report alleged infringement occurring on our platform or content published by us that infringes upon third-party rights.

A. Submitting a Formal Infringement Claim

To submit a legally valid claim for content removal, the claimant (or their authorised agent) must provide a written communication that substantially includes all the following elements. Failure to provide all required information may render the notice invalid or cause delays in processing.


Required Element


1. Identification of Infringed Work

A clear and precise identification of the original copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g., URL, registration number, title).


2. Identification of Infringing Content

Specific identification of the material on our website or published by us that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and which is to be removed or access disabled. This must include the exact URL or location where the material is found.


3. Contact Information

Adequate information to allow The Firm to contact the complaining party, including full legal name, physical address, telephone number, and email address.


4. Statement of Good Faith

A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.


5. Statement of Accuracy & Authority

A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury (or equivalent legal consequence), that the complaining party is authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.


6. Digital or Physical Signature

A clear electronic or physical signature of the person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

B. Review Timeframes and Response Procedures

  1. Claim Receipt and Review: Upon receipt of a complete and valid Takedown Notice, The Firm will initiate an internal review. Our initial review and response timeframe is typically 5 to 10 business days.
  2. Remedial Action: If The Firm, acting in good faith, determines that the content is infringing, it will take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material.
  3. Notification: We will notify the claimant and, where possible, the user or party who posted the material about the action taken.

Counter-Notification Rights

If content posted by a user is removed or disabled as a result of an infringement claim, the affected party has the right to submit a counter-notification to seek reinstatement of the material, provided they have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

Required Elements for Counter-Notification:

  1. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location (URL) at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  2. 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.
  3. The user's name, address, and telephone number.
  4. A statement that the user consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located (or, if the user's address is outside the U.S., consents to jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales) and will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notification.
  5. A physical or electronic signature of the user.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Policy is structured to comply with the legal requirements of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (UK) and incorporates elements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (US) for global enforcement. All disputes, including those arising from counter-notifications, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, and the parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Severability

If any provision of this Notice is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision shall be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
