2. Remove or disable access to the identified material within 48 hours of receiving a valid notice.
3. Notify the user who submitted the content (if applicable) that the material has been removed.
4. Retain a record of the takedown for compliance purposes.

If you believe your content was removed in error or that you have authorization to use the material, you may file a counter-notification containing:

1. Identification of the material that was removed and its prior location.
2. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant and restore the material within 10–14 business days unless the complainant files a court action.

In accordance with the DMCA, we maintain a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers of copyright. Users who repeatedly submit infringing content may have their accounts suspended or terminated.

OrthoImplants operates as an educational reference tool for medical professionals. Technique guides hosted on this Service are submitted by users for educational purposes. We make every effort to attribute content to its rightful copyright holders and will promptly comply with all valid removal requests.

If you are a manufacturer or copyright holder and would prefer that we link to your documents rather than host them, we are happy to accommodate that request. Please contact us at admin@orthoimplants.net.
