Takedown and DMCA policy

Before you send a notice

This site lists code labels and source citations. It does not provide repair procedures, parts recommendations, or a determination that a machine is safe to operate. Those decisions require the OEM service information and the appropriate tools.

If the issue is a code label, manual P/N, model year, or source link, use the corrections process first. A correction is checked against the cited OEM chapter and recorded in the changelog. A takedown notice is for a copyright or trademark concern, not for a disputed label.

What to include

• Your name, organization, and email address.
• The page URL and the exact material you believe is infringing.
• The work or right you say is infringed, with a registration or source reference if available.
• A short statement of why the use is not authorized.
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the rights holder.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

A complete notice helps the review. A notice that does not identify the page, the material, or the right is likely to need a follow-up before a decision can be recorded.

Where to send it

Email [email protected] with the subject line Takedown request. The publisher handles notices directly. This site publishes its own reference pages and does not host third-party uploads, so no service-provider agent registration is claimed. If a specific process requires a registered agent, say so in the message and the publisher will respond with the current status.

What happens next

Target: acknowledge a complete notice within 5 business days. The publisher reviews the page, the cited source, and the rights statement. If the notice is complete and the material should be taken down or restricted, the page or the affected material is taken down or restricted while the review continues. The publisher may ask for missing information. A decision is recorded within 10 business days when the record is complete.

If a page is changed or taken down, the changelog records the date and the reason, unless a legal restriction prevents it. If you believe a takedown was mistaken, reply to the same email thread with the page URL, the material, and the basis for reinstatement. The publisher will review the reply and may restore the material if the record supports it.

Scope

The archive publishes short labels, source metadata, and citations from public OEM owner's manuals. It does not host OEM PDFs, scanned service manuals, or third-party uploads. Manufacturer names, model names, manual numbers, and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify the machines and documents the tables refer to. The site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any manufacturer. See the terms of use and the editorial policy.

No legal advice

This page describes the notice path. It is not legal advice. If you need legal advice, consult a lawyer.
