Copyright Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-06

Instant Estimate HQ respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the businesses that use our Services to do the same. Contractors can upload content, such as logos and equipment images, that appears on their public estimate pages. This policy explains how to tell us about content you believe infringes your copyright, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

1. Designated copyright agent

Send copyright notices to our designated agent:

Copyright Agent, Instant Estimate HQ
444 Alaska Avenue, Suite #CQM681
Torrance, CA 90503, USA
Email: hello@instantestimatehq.com (subject line: "DMCA Notice")

Using the "DMCA Notice" subject line gets your notice to the right person quickly.

2. Filing a notice of infringement

Your notice must be in writing and include:

  1. a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed (or, for multiple works, a representative list);
  3. identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough information for us to locate it — for example, the URL of the estimate page and a description of the image;
  4. your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
  5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  6. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

When we receive a valid notice, we will remove or disable access to the material and let the Contractor who uploaded it know.

3. Filing a counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send our designated agent a counter-notice that includes:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
  3. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
  4. your name, address, and telephone number; and
  5. a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.

After a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the person who filed the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to restrain the activity, we will restore the material within 10 to 14 business days of receiving the counter-notice.

4. Repeat infringers

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of Contractors who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others.

5. Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. If you are not sure whether material infringes your copyright, consider speaking with a lawyer before sending a notice.
