Franchise Builder US (a trade name of Grant Search US, Inc.) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the platform to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the requirements set forth below.

If you believe that content on the Franchise Builder US platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown request. Your notice must include the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed
• Identification of the material on our platform that you claim is infringing, including enough information for us to locate it
• Your contact information, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf

You may submit a copyright or trademark takedown notice directly through the form below, or through the Support section of the platform. The form provides a simplified process for brand owners and rights holders who may not have a registered account.

If your content was removed due to a takedown notice and you believe it was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notification. Your counter-notice must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal courts located in Delaware and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original takedown notice

Submit a Counter-Notice: Use the form below to file a formal counter-notification. Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, the platform will restore the removed content no earlier than 10 business days after receipt, unless the original complainant files a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement within that period (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2)(C)).

In accordance with the DMCA, we may terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We reserve the right to remove content and terminate accounts at our discretion in appropriate circumstances.

Submitting a false or misleading DMCA notice may result in legal liability for damages. Make sure your notice is accurate and submitted in good faith before sending it.
