DMCA & IP Takedown.

About this policy

Nômade España respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of this site to do the same. This page describes the procedure for submitting notices of claimed copyright infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and equivalent intellectual-property complaints under EU and Spanish law. We follow this procedure in good faith for all complaints, whether the complainant is a U.S. rights-holder asserting the DMCA or a non-U.S. rights-holder asserting a parallel statute.

If you believe that content on spainsdigitalnomadvisa.com infringes a copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property right you own (or are authorised to enforce), tell us. We will respond.

Reporting infringing content

To file a valid DMCA notice, send a written communication to our designated agent (below) that contains all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or — if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification — a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, with sufficient information to permit us to locate the material (URL is preferred).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an 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 authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Notices missing any of these elements may not produce the legal effect of a DMCA notice under U.S. law. We may still review and act on incomplete reports as an internal trust-and-safety matter, but the formal safe-harbour timing only applies to complete notices.

Bad-faith warning. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that content is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Don't send a DMCA notice to silence criticism or competition; submit one only when you actually own the right and believe the use is infringing.

Designated Agent

Our designated agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is:

Nômade Media — DMCA Agent
Attn: Copyright Agent, Nômade España
Email: info@nomademedia.travel
Subject line: "DMCA Notice — spainsdigitalnomadvisa.com"

Email is the fastest channel and the one we monitor most regularly. Physical mail is accepted but adds days to the response window.

Our response procedure

1. Acknowledgement. We acknowledge complete notices within three business days.
2. Review. We assess whether the complaint is facially valid (all required elements present, content is actually on our site, no obvious fair-use or counter-claim defect).
3. Removal or restriction. If the notice appears valid, we expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material — typically within five business days of receipt, faster for clear-cut cases.
4. Notification of the affected party. If the material was contributed by a sponsor, columnist, or other identifiable source, we notify them of the takedown and forward a copy of the notice (with personal contact details of the complainant redacted unless and until a counter-notice is filed).
5. Repeat-infringer policy. In appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, we will terminate the accounts or remove the listings of sponsors, columnists, or other contributors who are determined to be repeat infringers.

Counter-notification procedure

If you are a content contributor (a sponsor, a guest writer, or anyone whose material has been removed in response to a DMCA notice) and you believe in good faith that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). A valid counter-notice must contain:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled 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 the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Nômade Media may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under § 512(c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.

Send counter-notices to the same designated-agent address above, with subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice — spainsdigitalnomadvisa.com". On receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward a copy to the original complainant and inform them that we may replace or restore access to the removed material within 10 to 14 business days unless the original complainant files an action seeking a court order to restrain the activity.

Sponsor-supplied content

Some content on this site — specifically Featured Listing entries on the Resources page, contributed by paying sponsors — is supplied by third parties under the terms set out in Section 7 of our Terms of Use. Sponsors warrant that the content they supply does not infringe any third-party intellectual-property right. If you submit a DMCA notice against sponsor-supplied content, we will:

• Disable or remove the material under the timeline above;
• Forward the notice to the sponsor under their indemnity obligation in Section 7.5 of the Terms;
• Pause or suspend the affected listing until the sponsor either resolves the complaint with the rights-holder or submits a valid counter-notice.

Trademark complaints & other IP

If you believe a trademark, trade name, or other non-copyright intellectual-property right of yours is being infringed on this site (for example, a sponsor is using your registered logo without authorisation), email info@nomademedia.travel with the subject line "Trademark complaint — spainsdigitalnomadvisa.com". Trademark notices are not strictly DMCA matters, but we follow an equivalent good-faith review-and-remove procedure for them.

EU residents & Spanish law

Although the DMCA is a U.S. statute, complaints from EU and Spanish rights-holders are welcome through the same channel and procedure. We will assess them under the equivalent provisions of EU Directive 2019/790 on copyright in the Digital Single Market, the EU Digital Services Act where applicable, and Spain's Ley de Propiedad Intelectual (Real Decreto Legislativo 1/1996). Our standard response window applies equally to EU and U.S. complaints.

Changes to this policy

We may revise this policy from time to time. Substantive revisions are dated at the top of the page. The current designated-agent contact above always supersedes any older version.
