Copyright Notice & Takedown

Last updated 21 May 2026

1. About This Procedure

Minted Models Ltd (“MintedModels”, “we”, “us”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Platform to do the same.

MintedModels operates as a user-generated content platform and portfolio hosting service. Profiles, images, media, and other content displayed on the Platform are uploaded directly by individual users, models, photographers, agencies, or other account holders, and are not generally reviewed or published by MintedModels prior to appearing on the Platform.

Users are solely responsible for ensuring they hold all necessary rights, licences, consents, and permissions for any content they upload or publish.

MintedModels does not claim ownership of user-submitted content and acts as an online intermediary and hosting provider in relation to such material.

This procedure is intended to comply with applicable United Kingdom and European Union copyright and online intermediary laws and regulations, including the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (“CDPA 1988”) and Regulation 19 of the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002, together with related electronic commerce and digital services frameworks where applicable.

If you believe content hosted on MintedModels infringes your copyright, please submit a report directly through the Platform using the built-in reporting system.

2. How to Report Copyright Infringement

To report allegedly infringing content:

  1. Open the relevant image or profile.
  2. Select “Report Photo” from the available options.
  3. Choose “Copyright Infringement” as the report category.
  4. Complete the report form with as much detail as possible, including:
  • Identification of the copyrighted work — the work you say has been infringed (a description, registration number, or a link to a published version is sufficient).
  • Identification of the infringing material — the URL on MintedModels.com (or a direct image report) where the allegedly infringing material can be found.
  • Your contact information — full legal name, postal address, telephone number, and email address. We must be able to forward your notice to the uploader.
  • Statement of good-faith belief — a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • Statement under penalty of perjury — a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and that you are the owner of the copyright (or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf).
  • Signature — a physical or electronic signature of the rightsholder or their authorised agent. Typing your full legal name in an email body constitutes an electronic signature for these purposes.

The report form allows up to 2000 characters of supporting information.

Submitting reports through the Platform ensures complaints are directed immediately to the appropriate moderation and compliance queue for faster review and handling.

If you are unable to access the reporting system, or the issue relates to urgent legal or technical matters that cannot reasonably be submitted through the Platform, you may contact: hello@mintedmodels.com

This contact method should only be used where the in-platform reporting system is unavailable or unsuitable.

Incomplete or insufficient reports may not be processed.

3. Review Process

Once a report is submitted:

  • our moderation team will review the complaint as quickly as reasonably possible;
  • we may temporarily disable, restrict, or remove the reported content during review;
  • we may request additional information where necessary;
  • we may notify the uploader or account holder responsible for the reported content;
  • and repeated or serious infringements may result in account suspension or permanent termination.

MintedModels may remove, restrict, disable, or refuse access to content where we reasonably believe it may infringe intellectual property rights, violate applicable EU or UK law, or breach our Terms of Service.

5. Counter-Notice Procedure

If your content was removed and you believe this occurred in error or through misidentification, you may submit a counter-report through the Platform or contact our support team where instructed during the moderation process.

Where appropriate, MintedModels may forward relevant details of a counter-report to the original complainant for resolution purposes.

Counter-reports should include sufficient information explaining why you believe the removal was incorrect or mistaken.

  • Identification of the material that was removed and the URL where it appeared before removal.
  • Your full legal name, postal address, telephone number, and email.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • A statement that you consent that any legal disputes relating to the reported content may be handled by the courts, and will accept service of process from the original notifier.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

On receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original notifier. We will restore the material no sooner than 10 business days and no later than 28 business days after forwarding the counter-notice, unless we have received notice from the original notifier that they have filed legal proceedings seeking a court order to keep the material disabled.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

Accounts associated with repeated copyright infringement complaints may be suspended or permanently terminated at our discretion.

When assessing repeat infringement, we may consider:

  • the number and seriousness of complaints;
  • whether counter-reports were submitted;
  • the apparent intent of the uploader;
  • and the overall safety and integrity of the Platform.

7. False or Abusive Reports

Submitting knowingly false, misleading, abusive, or fraudulent copyright complaints may result in legal liability.

MintedModels reserves the right to reject, ignore, or take action against complaints or reports reasonably believed to be abusive, automated, malicious, or submitted in bad faith.

8. Other Complaints

This procedure is intended only for copyright and intellectual property complaints.

For all other complaints including:

  • non-consensual intimate images,
  • impersonation,
  • harassment,
  • illegal content,
  • privacy complaints,
  • or general safety concerns,

Please use the appropriate reporting tools available on the Platform.

9. Updates

We may update or amend this Copyright Complaints & Takedown Procedure from time to time to reflect legal, operational, safety, or Platform changes.

Continued use of the Platform following any updates constitutes acceptance of the revised version.
