Your content is yours. The words, clues, definitions and titles you type into the tools remain your property. We claim no ownership of them.

The site is ours. The design, the code, the puzzle-generation software, the site copy and the Pinch of Decoration name are owned by Pinch of Decoration and protected by copyright and trade mark law.

The worksheets you generate are yours to use under the terms set out in our terms and conditions.

Reporting infringing material

We respect the intellectual property of others and expect our users to do the same. If you believe material accessible on this site infringes your copyright, tell us and we will act promptly.

What your notice must contain

To comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512), send a written notice including all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If several works are covered by one notice, a representative list.
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it — a URL is best.
4. Your contact details: name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.

Where to send it

Email contact@pinchofdecoration.com with “DMCA Notice” in the subject line, or use the contact form and choose “A copyright or content concern”.

What happens next

On receiving a valid notice we will remove or disable access to the material, and where we can identify the user who posted it we will notify them and pass on your notice.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material removed and 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 court for your district (or, if outside the United States, any district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the complainant.

We may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless we are told that court action has been filed.

Repeat infringers

Accounts that repeatedly infringe the rights of others will be terminated.

A note on misuse

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice can expose you to liability for damages. Please be sure before you file.
