DMCA Policy

The Texas Auction House respects the intellectual property rights of others. We expect our users to do the same. This policy outlines our procedures for addressing alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). It also details how copyright owners can submit a takedown notice and how users can file a counter-notification.

Commitment to Intellectual Property

The content published on The Texas Auction House, including articles on topics like luxury classic interior design or auction market insights, aims to be original or properly licensed. We do not permit content that infringes upon the copyrights of others. We will promptly remove content from our site when properly notified that it infringes another’s copyright.

Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe content on our site infringes your copyright, you may send us a DMCA takedown notice. Your notice must include all of the following information to be effective:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. Please provide specific details, such as the title or URL where the original work is published.
  • Identification of the material on our site that is claimed to be infringing. Include the precise URL(s) where the infringing material can be found.
  • Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

Send your complete DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent.

We advise consulting with legal counsel before submitting a notice. False claims under the DMCA can have legal consequences.

Counter-Notification Process

If you believe your content was removed due to a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. A valid counter-notification must include the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that was removed and the location on our site where it appeared before removal.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district where your address is located. If your address is outside the United States, you consent to jurisdiction in any judicial district where The Texas Auction House may be found. You must also accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification.

Submit your counter-notification to the same designated agent listed above. We will forward your counter-notification to the original complaining party. We may restore the content within 10-14 business days unless the copyright owner files a court action seeking an order against you.
