YNF Deals · Legal
DMCA Policy
YNF Deals respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect everyone who interacts with ynfdeals.com to do the same. This policy explains how a copyright owner can ask us to remove infringing material under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, what we do when we receive a valid notice, and how someone whose material was removed can respond. The most important thing to know: a notice only works if it is complete — send all six required elements listed below to our designated agent at [email protected].
1. Our commitment
YNF Deals ("we", "us") responds to valid notices of claimed copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the "DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. §512. If material available on ynfdeals.com infringes your copyright, you may ask us to remove it by following the procedure in this policy. We review every complete notice we receive and act expeditiously on those that meet the statutory requirements.
Some context about our business is useful here. YNF Deals is an independent retailer of authentic Arabian and designer fragrances; brand names, logos, and product images that appear on our site belong to their respective owners and are used to identify genuine products. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by those brands. If you believe a specific image, description, or other item of content on ynfdeals.com nonetheless infringes your rights, this policy is the way to tell us.
This policy covers content hosted on ynfdeals.com. Content that appears on TikTok — including our live streams and our TikTok Shop listings under the shops "YNF Deals" and "YNF Fragrance" — is hosted on TikTok's platform, and copyright complaints about that content should be submitted through TikTok's own intellectual-property reporting process. You are also welcome to alert us directly at [email protected], and we will review the material we control.
2. How to file a copyright infringement notice
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), your written notice must include all of the following:
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If your notice covers multiple works, a representative list is sufficient.
- Identification of the infringing material and where it is located — provide the exact URL(s) on ynfdeals.com, or enough detail for us to find the material without guessing.
- Your contact information: your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A good-faith statement: a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- An accuracy statement under penalty of perjury: a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
- Your signature — a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner. A typed full legal name in an email satisfies this requirement.
A notice that omits any of these elements may not be actionable, and we may ask you to resubmit it before we act. Please do not use this procedure for trademark disputes, defamation claims, or other non-copyright matters; you can raise those with us by email and we will route them appropriately.
3. Where to send your notice
Send DMCA notices to our designated agent:
- Legal — YNF Deals
- 585 W Merrick Rd Ste 28 C, Valley Stream, NY 11580, United States
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: +1 516-884-3338
Email is the fastest route. Please put "DMCA Notice" in the subject line so your message reaches the right person without delay.
4. What we do when we receive a valid notice
When we receive a notice that satisfies the requirements in Section 2, we act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice. Where the material was posted by an account holder rather than by us, we notify that person that the material has been removed or disabled and provide them with a copy of the notice, so they have the opportunity to respond with a counter-notification under Section 5.
If a notice is materially incomplete, we will tell you what is missing where reasonably possible. Removal of material in response to a notice is not an admission by us or by the poster that the material is infringing.
5. Counter-notification
If material you posted was removed or disabled because of a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or the material was misidentified, you may send our designated agent (Section 3) a written counter-notification. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), it must include:
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location where it appeared before removal (URL if possible).
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, mailing address, and telephone number.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located — or, if your address is outside the United States, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York — and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or that person's agent.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
5.1 What happens next
When we receive a valid counter-notification, we promptly forward a copy to the person who filed the original notice and inform them that we will restore the material in 10 business days. We then restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification — unless our designated agent first receives notice that the original complainant has filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
6. Repeat infringers
We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. If an account holder is the subject of multiple valid infringement notices, we may suspend or permanently close the account and refuse further service, consistent with our Terms of Service. We may also remove content proactively when infringement is apparent on its face.
7. Misrepresentation liability
Filing a false claim has real consequences. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, is liable for damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, by the copyright owner or its licensee, or by us as the service provider injured by the misrepresentation.
Before submitting a notice, consider whether the use you are complaining about could be authorized by the copyright owner or permitted by law, including fair use. If you are unsure whether you hold the rights you are asserting, resolve that question before you sign a statement under penalty of perjury.
