    DMCA and Copyright

    How to report infringing material on this site, and what happens after you do. Last verified August 2, 2026.

    Sending a notice

    If you hold the copyright in material available on wellandseptichq.com, or you are authorized to act for the person who does, and you believe that material infringes your copyright and is not covered by fair use, tell us at wellandseptichq@gmail.com with "DMCA" in the subject line.

    wellandseptichq.com is owned and operated by Journey Bound Media, LLC, which receives infringement notices at that address.

    What to include

    So that we can act on your notice without a round trip, include the elements the Digital Millennium Copyright Act calls for:

    • Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed, or a representative list if there are several.
    • The URL on this site of the material you are asking us to remove, specific enough that we can locate it.
    • Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
    • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
    • A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
    • Your physical or electronic signature.

    What we do about it

    We acknowledge notices within five business days. Where a notice is complete and the claim is not obviously mistaken, we remove or disable access to the material first and discuss it afterward. We would rather take down a paragraph we were entitled to keep than leave up one we were not.

    We will tell you what we removed. Where the material was submitted by someone else, we notify them and pass on your notice.

    Counter-notice

    If material of yours was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same address. Include the material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed in error, your name, address, telephone number, your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if you are outside the United States, the District of New Mexico), and your signature. We may restore the material after ten business days unless the original complainant tells us they have filed suit.

    Both notices and counter-notices carry legal weight. A knowing material misrepresentation in either one creates liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

    Third-party material

    Illustrations, diagrams, and written content on this site are our own work. Where we quote or reference third-party material, it remains the copyright of its owner and we assert no claim over it. Data and guidance drawn from the EPA, state health departments, university extension services, and similar bodies is cited on the page it appears on.
