Effective date: August 2, 2026
Pre-release notice: GlobalStacks is a pre-release project and is not currently offered by an incorporated company. This policy describes the process the project intends to follow for content it controls. It does not identify a registered DMCA agent, create a statutory safe-harbor representation, or provide legal advice.
Scope
This process applies to copyright complaints about content GlobalStacks hosts or distributes, including public Marketplace listings, templates, extension packages, documentation, images, and other publisher-provided materials.
GlobalStacks cannot remove content stored only on customer-controlled infrastructure or an independent source-control, registry, storage, model, or hosting provider. When GlobalStacks is only providing routing, metadata, or a connection to another service, we may identify the relevant customer or provider when legally permitted, restrict the GlobalStacks listing or connection, or direct the reporter to the service that can act on the underlying content.
Use this process only for copyright concerns. Report trademark, privacy, security, malware, impersonation, or other abuse through the applicable support or abuse process.
Before submitting a notice
Confirm that you own the copyrighted work or are authorized to act for its owner. Review whether the reported use is authorized by a license or may be permitted by law, including applicable exceptions or limitations. A disagreement about attribution, compatibility, contractual terms, or product similarity is not necessarily copyright infringement.
What a notice must include
Submit one complete notice to support@globalstacks.dev with the subject Copyright notice. Include:
- Your full legal name, organization when applicable, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- Identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list when one notice covers multiple works.
- The exact GlobalStacks URL, Marketplace listing, publisher, release, artifact, file, or other location for each item you want reviewed. A homepage or search-results link is not sufficiently specific.
- A concise explanation of what material is infringing and why the reported use is not authorized.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury where applicable, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.
- Your physical or valid electronic signature.
Do not include unrelated customer data, credentials, private keys, vulnerability details, or more personal information than the process requires.
What happens after a complete notice
- Scope and completeness review. We determine whether the report identifies content GlobalStacks controls and contains enough information to evaluate and route it. We may request missing information without taking action.
- Preservation and risk control. We may preserve relevant records and temporarily limit discovery, installation, new distribution, or access when necessary to prevent continuing harm. A temporary restriction is not a final determination of infringement.
- Publisher notice. Unless prohibited by law or necessary to prevent immediate harm, we provide the affected publisher with the substance of the complaint and a reasonable opportunity to remove, replace, or respond to the identified material.
- Action on controlled copies. We may remove or disable the specific listing, release, artifact, or hosted copy identified by a complete notice. When technically and legally reasonable, we prefer action against the identified material over disabling unrelated content.
- Outcome notice. We notify the reporter and affected publisher of the resulting status when legally permitted.
Publisher response and counter-notice
A publisher who believes content was restricted because of mistake or misidentification may submit a counter-notice to the same address with the subject Copyright counter-notice. It must include:
- The publisher's full legal name, organization when applicable, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- Identification of each item that was removed or restricted and its previous GlobalStacks location.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury where applicable, that the publisher has a good-faith belief the restriction resulted from mistake or misidentification.
- Consent to the jurisdiction and service-of-process terms required by the law governing the notice, when a statutory counter-notice procedure applies.
- The publisher's physical or valid electronic signature.
We may forward a complete counter-notice to the original reporter. Where an applicable statutory process requires restoration after a waiting period, we may restore the material unless the reporter gives us evidence of a filed legal action seeking to restrain the disputed activity. Outside such a process, we may restore, continue restricting, or request additional evidence based on the information available and the applicable agreements.
Retractions and resolved disputes
A reporter may retract a notice through the same address with the subject Copyright retraction. Identify the original notice, the affected material, and the authority of the person making the retraction. Publishers and reporters should tell us when they resolve a dispute so we can review whether a restricted listing or release should be restored.
Repeat infringement and abuse of process
GlobalStacks may suspend publishing, distribution, or accounts in appropriate circumstances when a publisher repeatedly infringes copyright or repeatedly distributes material removed under complete notices. We consider the relationship among notices, counter-notices, retractions, adjudicated outcomes, and the publisher's conduct rather than treating every allegation as a final infringement decision.
Knowingly false, materially misleading, automated, or abusive notices and counter-notices may cause harm and legal liability. We may reject them, restrict the submitter's use of reporting channels, preserve evidence, or refer the matter to appropriate authorities.
Privacy, disclosure, and records
We may share an unredacted notice or counter-notice with the affected parties, professional advisers, infrastructure providers, or authorities when necessary to process the claim or comply with law. We may publish or report redacted information about content restrictions for transparency, but should remove contact details and other personal information that is not necessary to explain the action.
Operational and audit records may be retained after content is removed when needed for security, fraud prevention, dispute handling, legal compliance, and enforcement of repeat-infringer rules.
No ownership adjudication
GlobalStacks is not a court and ordinarily cannot resolve contested ownership, licensing, fair-use, or other legal defenses. Restricting or restoring content under this process is an operational decision about GlobalStacks-controlled distribution, not a final judgment about either party's rights.
