Adobe Express DMCA Policy

Adobe Express is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This policy outlines our procedures for addressing copyright infringement claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

The DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides a mechanism for copyright owners to request the removal of material that they believe infringes their rights from websites. Adobe Express will respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable laws.

Adobe Express reserves the right to remove content without prior notice and to terminate user accounts found to be repeat infringers.

Filing a DMCA Notice of Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content hosted on Adobe Express infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a written DMCA notice to our designated Copyright Agent. Your notice must include the following information:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed: Provide a description of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, please provide a representative list of such works.
  2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing: Provide sufficient information to allow Adobe Express to locate the allegedly infringing material on our service. This typically includes the URL(s) of the specific page(s) or content on Adobe Express where the material can be found.
  3. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Adobe Express to contact the complaining party: This includes your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  6. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please send your DMCA notice to our designated Copyright Agent via the contact methods provided on our Contact Us page, specifying that it is a DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice.

DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe that content you posted on Adobe Express was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you have the right to submit a counter-notification under the DMCA. A counter-notification is a legal document, and it must include the following:

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled: Please provide the URL(s) or other specific identification of the material before its removal or disabling.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you are outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Adobe Inc. may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, Adobe Express will forward a copy to the original complaining party. If the complaining party does not file a court action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity within 10-14 business days, Adobe Express may restore the removed material or cease disabling access to it. Please send your counter-notification via the contact methods provided on our Contact Us page, specifying that it is a DMCA Counter-Notification.
