DMCA Copyright Policy

Effective July 8, 2026

Sprout Good Habits, Inc. ("Sprout") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects creators publishing on Sprout to do the same. This page explains how to report copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512), what happens after a report, and how a creator can respond. It applies to all Sprout services, including sproutgoodhabits.com and app.sproutgoodhabits.com.

Designated copyright agent

Send copyright notices and counter-notices to our designated agent:

Email is the fastest route. Please put "DMCA notice" or "DMCA counter-notice" in the subject line.

Filing an infringement notice

To be valid under §512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or a representative list, if the notice covers multiple works).
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and where it is located on Sprout: the URL, or the skill or canvas name and its page link, in enough detail for us to find it.
4. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Under §512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. If you are not sure whether the use is infringing (for example, it may be fair use), consider consulting an attorney before filing.

What we do with a valid notice

When we receive a complete, valid notice, we act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material, we take reasonable steps to promptly notify the creator who posted it, and we record the notice in our takedown log.

Counter-notices

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the agent above. To be valid under §512(g)(3), it must 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 as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district (or, if you are outside the United States, the District of Delaware), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.

We will forward a valid counter-notice to the original claimant. Unless the claimant notifies us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the infringement, we will restore the material no earlier than 10 and no later than 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

Sprout will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of creators who are repeat infringers. We keep a log of every notice, counter-notice, and action taken, and we apply this policy consistently.
