Copyright Claims
Copyright is a critical aspect of intellectual property rights, protecting the creative works of individuals and organizations. At Georgia Forms, we are committed to respecting the rights of copyright holders. We take allegations of copyright infringement seriously and strive to resolve them promptly and effectively. If you believe your copyrighted material has been used on our site without permission, we encourage you to contact us.
Submitting a Claim
To initiate a copyright claim, please provide the following information:
- Your name and contact information.
- A description of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed.
- The URL(s) of the web page(s) where the infringing material is located.
- A statement declaring that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner or the law.

Contact Information
Once you have gathered the necessary information, please send your claim to dmca@georgiaforms.net. We will review your submission and take appropriate action in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
Response Process
Upon receipt of a valid copyright claim, we will investigate the matter. If we determine that infringement has occurred, we will take down the infringing content. A notice will be sent to the alleged infringer, informing them of our actions. If the accused believes they have valid rights to the material, they may submit a counter-notification to restore the content.
Counter-Notification
A counter-notification must include:
- Your name and contact information.
- A description of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
- A statement asserting that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, asserting that the information in the counter-notification is accurate.
Counter-notifications should also be sent to dmca@georgiaforms.net. Upon receipt of a proper counter-notification, we may restore the material unless the original complainant pursues legal action against the alleged infringer.

Georgia Forms reserves the right to terminate the accounts of repeat offenders in accordance with the DMCA. We encourage users to respect copyright laws as they pertain to all content shared online.
