DMCA & Copyright Policy

How to report copyrighted material, what a complete notice needs, and how counter-notification works.

Applies to bikesindo.com Last updated 12 November 2026

BikesIndo publishes original guides and uses licensed or public-domain photography. This page explains how copyright complaints are handled and where owner-only details still need to be confirmed.

Copyright ownership

BikesIndo publishes original articles, guides, page design and original graphics. Those elements are owned by BikesIndo or used with permission. Photographs are used under the licence stated on the page or in the site credits, including CC0 public-domain photographs. Manufacturer names, model names, logos and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used for identification and commentary.

Third-party material remains the property of its owner. Nothing on this page transfers ownership of a copyright or grants a licence beyond viewing the site and printing a page for personal, non-commercial use.

Reporting copyright infringement

If you own a copyright, or are authorised to act for the owner, and you believe material on bikesindo.com infringes your rights, send a written notice to the copyright contact below. Please include enough detail for us to locate the material without guessing.

A complete notice should include:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed;
  3. the exact URL or URLs on bikesindo.com where the material appears, with enough surrounding detail to locate it;
  4. your name, address, telephone number and email address;
  5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
  6. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or are authorised to act for the owner.

Send notices to [COPYRIGHT / DMCA EMAIL — owner to confirm]. Postal notices, if required, go to [DMCA POSTAL ADDRESS — owner to confirm]. Please use the subject line “Copyright notice — bikesindo.com”.

Owner action required. No DMCA agent has been registered with the U.S. Copyright Office for this site, and no agent name, address or email is asserted here. Replace these placeholders only after the details are verified.

What happens after a notice

We review notices that contain the information listed above. If a notice is complete and the claim appears valid, we may remove or disable access to the identified material, and we may notify the person who supplied it where that is appropriate and lawful.

We may ask for clarification if a notice does not identify the work, the location or the rights holder clearly. Incomplete notices may not lead to removal.

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a takedown notice can create liability under applicable law. Please check the facts before sending one.

Counter-notification

If your material was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notification where the applicable law provides for one. A counter-notification should include:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal;
  3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed because of a mistake or misidentification;
  4. your name, address, telephone number and email address; and
  5. a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice, where that requirement applies.

Counter-notification is a legal procedure with consequences. If you are unsure whether it applies to you, seek independent legal advice before sending one.

Repeat infringement

BikesIndo does not knowingly host material that infringes copyright. We will remove or disable access to material after a valid notice, and we may restrict or terminate access for anyone who repeatedly infringes copyright.

The public site does not currently offer user accounts or public uploads. In practice, a repeat-infringement response may mean refusing submissions, blocking access or removing content associated with the same source.

DMCA and Indonesian law

The DMCA is a United States procedure. BikesIndo is focused on Indonesia, and Indonesian copyright law may also apply to a dispute. This page explains our process; it is not legal advice and does not limit any right or remedy available under the law that applies to you.

If you are unsure which procedure applies, consult a qualified lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction.

Copyright contact

Copyright and DMCA correspondence: [COPYRIGHT / DMCA EMAIL — owner to confirm]. Postal address: [DMCA POSTAL ADDRESS — owner to confirm]. You can also use the contact form with the subject “Copyright”.

Please do not send original identity documents unless we specifically request them for verification.
