DMCA & Copyright Policy

Last updated: October 17, 2026

WikiFeet Guide respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects visitors to do the same. This policy explains how copyright owners can ask us to remove material from thewikifeet.com that they believe infringes their rights, and how we handle those requests. It is modelled on the notice-and-takedown process of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and we consider valid requests from copyright owners wherever they are located.

What we host

The site publishes articles and guides, along with related images and graphics. We do not host user-uploaded photos, user profiles or adult content, and visitors cannot post material to the site. Photos sold by creators are hosted on third-party platforms such as InstaFeet, not by us. If you believe material on a third-party platform infringes your copyright, please report it directly to that platform, as we have no control over it.

If any text, image or other material in our own articles infringes your copyright, we want to know. We will remove or disable access to it promptly once we receive a valid notice.

How to submit a takedown notice

To report alleged infringement, send a written notice to contact@thewikifeet.com with the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice". To be valid, your notice must include:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed or, if one notice covers several works, a representative list of them.
  3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, including the specific URL or URLs on thewikifeet.com where it appears, with enough detail for us to locate it.
  4. Your contact information, including your full name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

We may not be able to act on notices that are missing required information until the missing details are provided. Under the DMCA, anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages. If you are unsure whether material infringes your rights, consider seeking legal advice before sending a notice.

What happens after we receive a notice

When we receive a valid notice, we will review it and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the material identified. If the material was supplied by a third party, such as a contributor or image licensor, we may forward a copy of your notice, including your contact details, to that person so they can respond. We may keep a record of notices for legal and administrative purposes.

Counter-notice process

If material you supplied to us was removed and you believe this happened because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same email address. A valid counter-notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the URL where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, postal address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which the site operator may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent.

After receiving a valid counter-notice, we may forward it to the person who submitted the original notice. Unless that person tells us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, we may restore the removed material at our discretion.

Repeat infringers

Although visitors cannot upload content to the site, we may work with writers, contributors or image providers. Where appropriate, we will stop working with, and remove material supplied by, anyone found to have repeatedly infringed the copyrights of others.
