Copyright & Takedown Policy
Last updated: 14 July 2026
GigCharts is a typesetting tool. People use it to format songs, and the material they enter (such as lyrics and chords) is often protected by copyright owned by others. We respect those rights and respond to valid takedown notices under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), and comparable laws.
Reporting infringement
If you own (or represent the owner of) a work and believe content stored on GigCharts infringes it, send a notice to [email protected] with the subject "Copyright Notice", including:
- Your name and contact details, and who you represent;
- Identification of the work you say is infringed;
- Enough detail to locate the infringing material on GigCharts;
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law;
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on the owner's behalf;
- Your physical or electronic signature.
What we do
When we receive a valid notice, we remove or disable access to the material, and where possible notify the account that stored it. Because most content on GigCharts is private to a single account (not public), reports usually concern an account's own stored material.
Counter-notice
If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to [email protected] with your contact details, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed in error. We may restore the material as permitted by law.
Repeat infringers
We terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe others' rights.
Illegal content (EU DSA)
To report other illegal content, use the same address and describe the content, where it is, and why it is unlawful. We'll review and act as required, and let you know the outcome where we can.
