Abuse and Copyright Reports

1. Reporting abuse

Send reports to legal@nodepier.com. Include:

1. the full hostname and, if relevant, the exact public URL or onion address;
2. a clear description of the conduct and the specific AUP section or legal right involved;
3. dates, screenshots, message headers, transaction identifiers, or other evidence sufficient to reproduce or evaluate the issue;
4. your name or organization and a working contact method, unless identification would create a credible safety risk;
5. the country or jurisdiction relevant to the report, if the issue depends on local law; and
6. a statement that the report is accurate and submitted in good faith.

Do not attach child sexual abuse material, malware, stolen credentials, private keys, or more personal data than necessary. Provide a reference to the appropriate official report or a safe evidence-preservation method instead.

2. Immediate danger and emergency requests

If someone faces imminent physical danger, contact the appropriate local emergency service first. Law-enforcement emergency requests should identify the requesting agency and officer, explain the emergency and risk of death or serious physical injury, specify the information sought, provide an official return contact, and cite applicable legal authority.

NodePier may act quickly to isolate a service or preserve available information when reasonably believed necessary to reduce imminent harm. This does not guarantee that NodePier has identifying traffic data or can respond within a particular time.

3. Copyright notices

A copyright owner or authorized agent may submit a written notice identifying allegedly infringing material. To support a prompt evaluation, include substantially:

1. a physical or electronic signature of the owner or authorized agent;
2. identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list for multiple works;
3. identification and location of the allegedly infringing material with enough detail for NodePier to find it;
4. the complaining party's name, postal address, telephone number, and email address;
5. a good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or law; and
6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that the sender is the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

NodePier will ordinarily disable or remove the identified material after receiving a facially credible copyright complaint while the matter is reviewed. NodePier may notify the customer and consider counter-information, but does not promise restoration or a particular outcome.

4. Counter-notices

If content is removed or disabled because of a copyright notice and you believe that happened through mistake or misidentification, a counter-notice should include substantially:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material and where it appeared before removal or disabling;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the action resulted from mistake or misidentification;
4. your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address; and
5. the jurisdiction and service-of-process consent required by applicable law, if you invoke a statutory counter-notice procedure.

NodePier may forward notices and counter-notices to the affected parties. Submitting false claims can create legal liability. Consider obtaining legal advice before sending either document.

5. Repeat infringement

Where appropriate and legally required, NodePier may terminate services controlled by a person who repeatedly infringes copyright. NodePier considers the reliability and outcome of notices, counter-notices, court decisions, retractions, and surrounding circumstances rather than counting every allegation as established infringement.

NodePier may also remove or disable specific material, reject a domain, or require remediation when a narrower response is practical.

6. Other legal demands

Legal process should be sent to legal@nodepier.com. Requests should identify the issuing authority, legal basis, relevant account or hostname, exact information sought, response deadline, and contact for verification.

NodePier may reject, challenge, or narrow requests that are informal, defective, overbroad, inconsistent with applicable law, or directed to information NodePier does not possess. Unless prohibited and where reasonably safe, NodePier may notify the affected customer before disclosure.

Because NodePier does not retain visitor identifiers in hosted-site traffic logs, it generally cannot produce visitor IP histories, requested URL histories, unique-visitor records, or referrer histories from those logs.

7. Evaluation, action, and appeals

NodePier may acknowledge a report, request clarification, preserve available material, forward the substance to the customer, or take action under the Terms and AUP. NodePier does not promise a response or resolution time and is not a court. Complex disputes may require an order from a court or competent authority.

Reports and enforcement decisions may be appealed through the same contact by identifying the original report, explaining the error or remediation, and providing supporting evidence. Abusive, threatening, fraudulent, duplicative, or automated notices may be deprioritized or rejected.
