Copyright / DMCA

Last Updated: November 6, 2026

LacquerStash respects creators' rights. Upload only content you own or are permitted to share. This policy explains how to report copyright concerns about material on our app or websites.

Copyright contact

LacquerStash is operated by Rohan Taneja. Send copyright notices and counter-notices to our designated agent:

Agent and organization: Rohan Taneja
Flottwellstr. 21
10785 Berlin
Germany
Phone: +49 174 822 5032
Email: [email protected]

Email is the simplest way to send a written notice. You do not need a LacquerStash account. For material without a public URL, include its polish or manicure name, brand, uploader, screenshot, or other details that let us find the exact material.

Send a copyright notice

If you own the copyright or are authorized to act for its owner, include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature (for example, your typed name).
2. The copyrighted work, or a representative list of works if several are involved.
3. The material you want removed and enough location details for us to find it.
4. Information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you, such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.
5. A statement of your good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the owner, their agent, or the law.
6. A statement that your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

We review notices and act expeditiously on substantially compliant notices to remove or disable access to the identified material. We promptly notify the uploader where possible. If your notice identifies the copyrighted work and disputed material and gives us enough information to contact you, we will promptly attempt to contact you or take other reasonable steps to help you supply any missing required information. A report is an allegation, not a court ruling.

If your content was removed

If you believe removal was a mistake or the material was misidentified, you may send a written DMCA counter-notice to the same agent. Include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. The removed material and its location before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury of your good-faith belief that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number.
5. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for your address's judicial district, or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district where the service provider may be found; and accepting service of process from the original notice sender or their agent.

We promptly forward a compliant counter-notice to the original claimant, including its contact details. We inform them that restoration is planned in 10 business days. We restore the material between 10 and 14 business days after receiving the compliant counter-notice, unless our agent first receives notice that the claimant filed a court action seeking to restrain the disputed infringement.

Consider the consequences before submitting: counter-notices contain personal details and consent to court jurisdiction. Knowingly making material misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notice can result in liability.

Repeat infringements

We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. We assess the history and circumstances, including valid notices, reuploads, withdrawals, counter-notices, and court decisions. Warnings or upload restrictions may also be used; serious circumstances may warrant immediate action.
