Overview

Professionalize.com, operated by Cloudize Pty Ltd (Australia), respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our platforms and services to do the same.

In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we have established the following procedure for submitting notices of alleged copyright infringement and for responding to valid counter-notices.

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied, posted, or distributed on our platform without authorization, please submit a DMCA Takedown Notice that meets the requirements listed below to dmca@professionalize.com.

Important: Professionalize is a paperless company. We accept notices only by email; mailed documents will not be processed.

DMCA Takedown Notice Requirements

Your DMCA notice must include all of the following information to be considered valid:

  1. A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or if multiple works are involved, a representative list of such works.
  2. A detailed description of where the allegedly infringing material is located, including the URL or specific page on our site.
  3. Your contact information (full legal name, title if acting as an agent, mailing address, phone number, and email address).
  4. The following statement:

    “I have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material described above is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”

  5. The following statement:

    “The information in this notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am the owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.”

  6. Your electronic or physical signature.

Once we receive a valid DMCA notice, our team will promptly review it, investigate, and remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content when appropriate.
The user who posted the content will be notified of the takedown and provided an opportunity to submit a counter-notice.

Submitting a Counter-Notice

If your content has been removed in error or you believe your use qualifies as fair use, you may submit a counter-notification under Section 512(g) of the DMCA.

Your counter-notice must include:

  1. Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and its original location before removal.
  2. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  3. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. The following statement:

    “I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located, or if outside the United States, to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California, and will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or their agent.”

  5. Your electronic or physical signature.

Send your counter-notice to dmca@professionalize.com.
If a valid counter-notice is received, we will restore the material within 10–14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action seeking to prevent reinstatement.

Removal of Non-DMCA Content

If you uploaded a document or material containing sensitive, confidential, or private information and wish to have it removed, please do not submit a DMCA notice.

Instead, contact our support team directly. We will review and remove such material upon verification, consistent with our Privacy Policy and Customer Data Security practices.

Other Intellectual Property Disputes

Trademark or brand-related disputes are not covered by the DMCA. These must be resolved directly between the involved parties.

Professionalize will comply with valid court orders or legal requests, but will not act as an arbitrator or mediator in private trademark or contractual disputes.

Important Disclaimer

Misuse of the DMCA process is a violation of federal law and may result in legal liability.
Please ensure you have a good-faith belief that infringement has occurred before submitting a notice.
