Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

OldVersion.com respects the intellectual property rights of software creators and publishers. While our mission is to preserve and provide access to older versions of software for historical, compatibility, and educational purposes, we comply fully with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) and promptly respond to valid takedown notices.

1. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized agent) and believe that a file hosted on OldVersion.com infringes your copyright, please submit a DMCA Takedown Notice including the following information:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
3. Identification of the specific material claimed to be infringing and its location (for example: the exact software title, version, and the page URL).
4. Your contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have 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.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please send takedown requests to our designated DMCA agent:

Note: This contact information is for DMCA notices only. For other questions or general inquiries, please use our contact form.

2. Our Process

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice:

• We will review the claim and remove or disable access to the identified material if appropriate.
• We will notify the requester once the removal is complete.
• If applicable, we will document the takedown internally and mark affected versions as unavailable (for example, showing a 404 page).

If an entire software title is subject to a takedown, all associated versions may be made unavailable.

3. Counter-Notification

If you believe that material removed under a DMCA notice was removed in error or is not infringing, you may submit a Counter-Notification to our DMCA Agent. Your counter-notification must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and its prior location on our site.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled due to a mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material in accordance with DMCA procedures unless the copyright owner files a legal action seeking a court order.

4. Repeat or Unresolved Claims

OldVersion.com maintains a record of takedown requests to ensure compliance. If repeated or unresolved claims arise regarding a particular title or publisher, we may permanently restrict access to those files.

5. Policy Updates

We may revise this DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect legal, operational, or preservation changes. The date of the most recent update will appear at the top of this page.
