DMCA takedown request requirements

We take the intellectual property rights of others seriously and expect our Users to uphold the same standards. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) has established a procedure for addressing copyright infringement claims. If you are the copyright owner or have the authority to act on their behalf and want to report a claim of infringement by a third party using GitLab's services, please submit a DMCA report through our Contact page, and we will take the necessary steps.

 

DMCA Report requirements

  • A description of the copyrighted work that you claim is being infringed;
  • A description of the material you claim is infringing and that you want removed or access to which you want disabled and the URL or other location of that material;
  • Your name, title (if acting as an agent), address, telephone number, and email address;
  • The following statement: "I have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material I am complaining of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use)";
  • The following statement: "The information in this notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed";
  • An electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

 

We will then review your DMCA request and take proper actions, including removal of the content from the website.
