Copyright Policy

Effective date: October 26, 2026

Be Small respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same. This policy is part of our Terms of Service and describes how we respond to claims of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").

Reporting Infringement

If you believe content on besmall.org or app.besmall.org infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;

  2. identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed;

  3. identification of the infringing material and where it appears, with enough detail for us to find it;

  4. your name, address, telephone number, and email address;

  5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

  6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Designated agent: Chris Unseth, Be Small · privacy@besmall.org (Subject: "DMCA Notice")

Counter-Notices

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address including: your signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; 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 telephone number; and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, any district where Be Small may be found) and will accept service from the person who sent the original notice. We may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the complaining party tells us it has filed a lawsuit.

Repeat Infringers

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe.

Misrepresentations

Anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
