Policy / Copyright

DMCA Notice

STLParts respects creators' rights and responds to complete copyright notices concerning files or content hosted through the service.

Effective September 3, 2026

Before filing

Confirm that you own or are authorized to enforce the copyright and consider whether a license, fair use, or another legal exception permits the material. Vehicle names, compatibility facts, and part numbers are not by themselves proof that a model file was copied.

Copyright infringement notice

Send a written notice containing all of the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list for multiple works.
  • The exact STLParts URL and sufficient detail to locate the allegedly infringing material.
  • Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or law.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act for the owner.

Where to send a notice

STLParts.com Copyright Contact
Email: [email protected]

Email is the current intake method for copyright notices submitted through the website.

What happens next

We may remove or restrict access to identified material, preserve relevant records, notify the uploader, and provide the uploader with a copy of the notice. Incomplete notices may delay action. We may forward notices to service providers or legal advisers as needed to process them.

Counter-notification

An uploader who believes material was removed by mistake may send a counter-notification containing:

  • The uploader's physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the removed material and its former location.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification.
  • The uploader's name, address, and telephone number.
  • Consent to the appropriate United States federal court jurisdiction and acceptance of service from the claimant.

Send counter-notifications to [email protected].

Possible restoration

After forwarding a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material as permitted by law unless the original claimant informs us that court action has been filed to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Repeat infringers

STLParts may suspend or terminate accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances and may act against users who repeatedly submit material without the necessary rights.

Accuracy matters

Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing or was removed by mistake may create legal liability. This process is for copyright claims. Use the listing report feature or contact moderation for safety, attribution, license, trademark, or community-rule concerns.
