Contact

Use the contact form on /customer-care/ for both notices and counter-notices.

How a complete notice is structured, and what to expect after sending

A complete DMCA notice has six required elements: identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the URL on myteam11play.com, your contact information, a statement of good-faith belief, a statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury, and your physical or electronic signature. Missing any one of the six returns the notice as incomplete.

The copyrighted work can be a photograph, a paragraph, a chart, or a longer passage. The URL must point to the exact page on myteam11play.com where the allegedly infringing material appears; broad notices about "every page on myteam11play.com" do not satisfy the identification requirement. Your contact information must include a real address and a real email; pseudonymous addresses return the notice as incomplete.

The good-faith belief statement is a single sentence: "I have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law." The accuracy statement is similarly short: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner."

After the notice is received, we remove or disable access to the identified material within five working days and notify the uploader. The uploader has the right to send a counter-notice; if the counter-notice is complete, the material is restored in 10 to 14 working days unless the original complainant files a court action.

Misuse of the DMCA process (notices sent in bad faith, knowingly false statements) carries legal consequences under 17 U.S.C. ยง 512(f). We treat notices as legal documents; knowingly false statements are reported to the relevant authorities.

For copyright questions that do not fit the DMCA framework (permission requests, attribution corrections, partnership inquiries), reach us through the same channel as DMCA notices, but the response time is longer and the path is a polite email rather than a sworn statement.

Editorial methodology for the DMCA notice

DMCA notice-and-takedown information covers myteam11play.com. myteam11play.com is published because it accepts user-submitted content and operates under the Indian Information Technology Act 2000 and the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act safe-harbor framework. The methodology is the same as every other page on myteam11play.com: name the source, name the verification date, and do not invent a claim.

For the designated agent, the source is the DMCA contact record. Our DMCA desk does not publish the agent's personal email; the contact is via the customer-care form on /customer-care/ with the subject line "DMCA notice". The form route is the canonical reference; this DMCA record does not promise a response time.

For what the notice must contain, the source is the Info Tech Act 2000 and the DMCA 512(c) statutory requirements. Our DMCA desk does not paraphrase the statute; this DMCA record lists the six required elements so the notice-writer can verify their notice is complete before sending it.

For what we do with a valid notice, the answer is the standard takedown-and-notify flow: the content is removed from myteam11play.com, the user account is suspended pending review, the original author is notified, and our DMCA agent waits for a counter-notice if one is filed. We does not commit to a specific timeline; the news page at lists the moderation volume.

For what we do with an invalid notice, the answer is the standard rejection-and-reply flow: the notice-writer is told which element is missing, the content stays published, and the original author is not notified. We do not publish the rejection.

For repeat offenders, the source is the DMCA moderation policy. Our DMCA desk does not publish a specific threshold; the record links to the policy rather than restating it. The policy is applied at our discretion.

Update cadence: DMCA notice-and-takedown fields get a fresh review whenever the IT Act 2000 amendments change, the DMCA 512(c) requirements change, the DMCA contact record changes, or the moderation policy changes. The review date is in the footer of every page on myteam11play.com.

What we does not publish

The DMCA notice does not publish a designated agent's personal email. We do not publish a takedown timeline that the statutory framework does not require. We do not publish a counter-notice procedure that the IT Act 2000 and the DMCA 512(g) do not provide.

Our DMCA desk does not publish a valid notice that the notice-writer has not filed. We do not publish a takedown that our DMCA agent has not executed. Our DMCA desk does not publish a reinstatement that the original author has not requested.

Our DMCA desk's role is the editorial coverage. The legal system's role is the adjudication. The two roles are separate; our DMCA agent does not adjudicate notices, does not publish a private settlement, and does not publish a counter-notice timeline beyond the statutory framework. The reader should always consult a qualified legal adviser for a specific notice.

How to verify the DMCA notice path yourself

Open the customer-care form on /customer-care/ with the subject line "DMCA notice". The form should be the canonical reference for the notice submission. The form should include the required fields: identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the infringing material, the notice-writer's contact information, a statement of good-faith belief, a statement of accuracy, and the notice-writer's physical or electronic signature.

For the required fields, the named statute should list the six required elements. The required fields are the canonical reference; this record links to the statute rather than restating the statute.

For the takedown timeline, the in-app Help tab should describe the takedown timeline. The takedown timeline is the canonical reference; this record links to the in-app Help tab rather than restating the timeline.

For the counter-notice procedure, the named statute should describe the counter-notice procedure. The counter-notice procedure is the canonical reference; this record links to the statute rather than restating the procedure.

For the designated agent, the DMCA contact record should contain the designated agent's contact information. The designated agent is the canonical reference; this record links to the contact record rather than restating the contact.

For what to do if the customer-care form contradicts the record's notice path, the answer is the customer-care form is the canonical reference. The record is updated next time our DMCA agent reviews the notice path; the reader can verify the notice path via the customer-care form at any time.
