DMCA Copyright Policy
SpinoraWheel respects the work of creators. If you believe something on our website infringes your copyright, this page shows exactly how to tell us and what happens next.

What This Policy Covers
This policy follows the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. We apply the same process to copyright complaints from any country.
It covers content we publish on SpinoraWheel, such as page text, images, graphics, and design.
Important: your wheels are not on our servers
Wheel entries, pictures, and results are saved only in each visitor’s own browser. A share link carries the list inside the link itself. We do not host or store this content, so we cannot remove it from someone’s device.
If a shared link with infringing content is posted on another website, please contact that website as well.
Step by step
How the Takedown Process Works
Send a written notice
Email your notice to [email protected] with the subject line DMCA notice. Make sure it includes every item in the checklist below.
We review it
We check that the notice is complete. An incomplete notice may not be acted on, and we may ask you for the missing details.
We remove or disable the content
If the notice is valid, we remove or disable access to the reported material promptly.
We notify the other party
Where possible, we tell the person who provided the content that it was removed, so they can respond with a counter-notice.
Required by law
What Your DMCA Notice Must Include
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a valid notice must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name works).
- A description of the copyrighted work you believe was infringed.
- The exact URL of the page on SpinoraWheel where the material appears.
- Your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act for the owner.
Before you file
Think about whether the use could be fair use, for example a short quote used for commentary or teaching. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly makes a false claim may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney fees.
If your content was removed
How to File a Counter-Notice
If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to [email protected]. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), it must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- A description of the removed material and the URL where it appeared before removal.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.
After we receive a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the person who filed the original notice. If they do not tell us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material.
Repeat infringers
If someone repeatedly provides infringing content, we may block their access to the site where possible.
