Last updated: June 22, 2026

StormIt("StormIt") respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects users to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement, consistent with applicable law (including the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the Canadian Copyright Act), and we terminate repeat infringers.

Reporting infringement

If you believe content on the Site infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to our designated contact:

Copyright Agent
StormIt
[Registered mailing address — set EMAIL_POSTAL_ADDRESS]
Email: dmca@stormit.ca

Your notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or a representative list).
  3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it (e.g. the URL).
  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.
  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 its behalf.

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice may expose you to liability for damages.

What we do

On receiving a valid notice, we may remove or disable access to the material, notify the user who posted it, and forward your notice to them. We keep records of notices.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to dmca@stormit.ca 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 it was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, and phone number, with consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and to accept service from the complaining party. We may restore the material in accordance with applicable law unless the complaining party files a court action.

Repeat infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances, suspend or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
