You should not submit an intellectual property claim merely because:

• Temporarily restrict content while a claim is reviewed where appropriate
• Remove or modify content where infringement is reasonably established

The action taken will depend on the facts and applicable law.

13. No Automatic Removal

Submitting a claim does not automatically mean content will be removed.

We may need to verify:

• The claimed right
• The claimant's authority
• Whether the right is valid
• Whether the alleged use is infringing
• Whether an exception or lawful use applies

We aim to handle claims fairly and based on available evidence.

If a claim is incomplete or unclear, we may request additional information.

Examples include:

Failure to provide sufficient information may prevent us from fully evaluating the claim.

Where appropriate, we may:

• Contact the content provider
• Take other reasonable corrective action

The specific action will depend on the nature of the claim.

In some cases, a person or business affected by a claim may provide information disputing the allegation.

This may include evidence of:

• Ownership
• License
• Permission
• Fair or lawful use
• Independent creation
• Non-infringement

We may consider relevant information from all parties where appropriate.
