Copyright and takedowns

If you own the copyright in a piece of work, or you act for someone who does, and you think a listing on the site uses it without permission, email us at support@supportsmallblank.com. You do not need an account to send a notice.

If you have an account, you can also use Report this listing at the bottom of the listing's page and choose “Copyright infringement”. The form has no room for everything a notice needs (see below), so we may ask you to email us the rest.

Please include:

• the work you say has been used without permission, described well enough for us to recognise it (for example, a link to where you published it);
• the web address (URL) of the listing on our site. It looks like /artwork/ followed by a code, and you can copy it from your browser's address bar;
• your name and contact details, including an email address we can reply to;
• a statement that you believe, in good faith, that the use of the work in the listing is not authorised by the copyright owner (or their agent), or by law;
• a statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act for them.

Please send only a notice you believe to be true. We may pass your notice on to the artist, including your contact details, so that they can reply to it.

We will ask anyone who reports stolen or copied work to show that it is theirs. For example, you could send:

• work-in-progress photos;
• photos or video of you making it;
• the original photos or files of the finished piece;
• an earlier dated post of the work.

We may ask the artist who listed the work for the same kind of proof. We decide based on what both sides send us. We keep what you send only as long as we need it to deal with the matter.

If a listing appears to use someone's work without permission, we remove it or disable it promptly, and we tell the artist why. A removed listing no longer appears on the site. We may ask you, or the artist, for more information first if we need it.

If we remove your listing because of a copyright notice and you think that was a mistake, email support@supportsmallblank.com and tell us:

• which listing it was;
• why you think it was removed by mistake: for example, because the work is yours, or you have permission to use it;
• a statement that you believe, in good faith, that the listing was removed by mistake;
• a statement that the information you give is accurate;
• your name and contact details, including an email address we can reply to.

We'll pass your reply on to the person who sent the notice, then decide whether to put the listing back, using our reasonable judgement. We can't decide who owns a work. If you and the person who sent the notice disagree, you may need to settle it between yourselves, or in court.

We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe other people's copyright.

For other problems, such as scams, harassment or artwork that isn't human-made, see Contact and reporting on the Support page. This page is a summary of how we handle copyright complaints, not legal advice.
