Copyright & DMCA Policy
Last updated: August 18, 2026
The Parent Exchange respects the intellectual property of others and expects creators to do the same. Creators may only list resources they made themselves or have the documented right to sell. We remove infringing listings and repeatedly infringing accounts.
Filing a takedown notice
If you believe a listing infringes your copyright, send a written notice that includes all of the following:
- Your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim was infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works).
- The URL of each listing or file on The Parent Exchange you are asking us to remove.
- 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 authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
The fastest way to file is our copyright takedown request form. It captures every element above, gives you a reference number, and routes your notice straight to our copyright team. You can also email our copyright agent at copyright@theparentexchange.com. Incomplete notices may delay our review.
What happens next
When we receive a complete notice, we review it, remove or disable access to the reported material where appropriate, and notify the creator with a copy of the notice. Existing buyers may lose access to a removed file.
Counter-notice
If your listing was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice containing your contact information, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake, your consent to the jurisdiction of a court in your district, and your signature. We forward your counter-notice to the person who filed the takedown; if they do not notify us of a court action within 10–14 business days, we may restore the material as permitted by law.
Repeat infringement
Accounts that receive repeated valid infringement notices are suspended or terminated, and pending payouts may be held while we investigate.
Misuse of this process
Submitting a knowingly false notice can carry legal liability. If you are unsure whether the material is infringing, seek legal advice first.
