NFLBite Copyright Policy & DMCA Reporting Procedures
NFLBite provides this notice to explain how copyright concerns can be submitted for consideration, what information may be needed to assess a complaint, and how intellectual property reports relating to website references can be communicated.
Website Scope and External Resources
NFLBite operates as a football information and reference website. It does not claim to own or control media hosted by independent third-party services. Where external resources are referenced, those services maintain their own websites, systems, and materials. NFLBite's role concerning such references is separate from the operation or storage of content on external platforms.
1. Submitting a Rights-Holder Complaint
Copyright owners and representatives with appropriate authorization may contact NFLBite to identify a page or reference they believe raises an intellectual property concern. Reports should explain the issue in specific terms and identify the material involved as clearly as possible. Including the relevant page address and supporting details can help the team understand the request and determine what review may be appropriate.
2. Information to Include in a DMCA Notice
To support an effective assessment, a copyright notification should provide the information required by applicable law. Depending on the circumstances, the submission may need to include the following:
- Authorized Signature: The physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an agent permitted to represent that owner.
- Protected Work Description: Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be affected. If several works are involved, provide a representative list where permitted.
- Reported NFLBite Location: The specific URL of the page or reference being challenged, together with sufficient information to identify the material in question.
- Sender's Contact Details: An email address and other relevant contact information through which the reporting party can receive communications about the submission.
- Good-Faith Declaration: A statement explaining that the complainant believes the disputed use has not been authorized by the rights holder, its representative, or the law.
- Accuracy and Authority Statement: A declaration that the notice contains accurate information and, under penalty of perjury where required by the DMCA, that the sender is the copyright owner or is authorized to act for the owner.
3. Copyright Contact Information
Send copyright-related inquiries to the contact address listed below. Please identify the relevant NFLBite page, describe the alleged infringement or rights concern, and provide the information needed to understand your request. Incomplete submissions may require additional details before an appropriate assessment can take place.

Review Process:
Submissions may be examined individually. Further information
can be requested if necessary to clarify the reported concern.
4. Legal Notices Must Be Accurate
A copyright report should be submitted only by a rights holder or a person with proper authority to represent that holder. Before sending a complaint, review all statements and supporting information for accuracy. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly making material misrepresentations in certain infringement notifications or counter-notifications may create legal liability. This policy does not replace independent legal advice about a particular dispute.
5. How Reported References May Be Assessed
After receiving a report, NFLBite may consider the details provided, the location identified, and the nature of the concern. Depending on the circumstances and applicable requirements, possible steps may include requesting clarification, reviewing a reference, or changing its availability on the website. A report does not automatically determine the outcome; each submission may require an individual assessment based on the information available.
6. Requests Involving Independent Websites
An external link or reference does not give NFLBite control over the website to which it leads. If the material in question is stored or published by another service, a complaint sent to NFLBite may not remove that material from its original location. Rights holders seeking removal of externally hosted content should also contact the relevant platform, website operator, or hosting provider and follow that service's own copyright-reporting procedure.
7. Counter-Notifications and Further Communication
If a dispute involves material removed or disabled following a copyright complaint, the parties should review the applicable legal requirements and the procedures of the service responsible for that material. Where the DMCA counter-notification process applies, statutory requirements may govern the information submitted and subsequent steps. Contact NFLBite for clarification about a website reference, but consult a qualified legal professional for advice about your rights, obligations, or potential legal remedies.
8. Policy Updates
NFLBite may revise this notice when its website practices or relevant requirements change. The date displayed at the top indicates the latest stated revision. Visitors and rights holders should review this page periodically to remain familiar with the reporting information and contact procedures currently published here.
