What If I Receive a Copyright Complaint (DMCA) Notification?
If you receive a notification that your third party content has been removed due to a copyright complaint, it means that the content has been deleted from LEASEHACKR at the request of the content’s owner. If you receive too many copyright complaints, you may lose the ability to contribute new content on LEASEHACKR, and your access to LEASEHACKR may be disabled completely.
If you believe your third party content was removed in error, you have the option to file a counter-notice by following the steps below. When LEASEHACKR receives a valid counter-notice, we will forward a copy to the person who filed the original complaint. If we do not receive notice within ten (10) business days that the submitter of the original complaint is seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of the content at issue, we will remove the complaint from your record, and we may replace the content that was removed.
There are legal and financial consequences for fraudulent and/or bad faith submissions. Before submitting a counter-notice, be sure that you are the actual rights holder of the removed content or that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed in error and understand the repercussions of submitting a false claim.

(b) Include ALL of the following:
(i) Your name, address, and telephone number;
(ii) DMCA ID printed at the bottom of the notification email;

(vi) A physical or electronic signature (for example, typing your full name).

When you access third party websites or use third party services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that we are not responsible for such risks. The fact that our Services may be used with other third party services should not be taken as an endorsement of those services. LEASEHACKR encourages you to be aware when you leave the Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party website or service that you visit or utilize, as your use of those services is subject to those terms and policies.
LEASEHACKR has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any third party websites or by any third party that you interact with through the Services.
