This Copyright Infringement Policy explains how to report material on the Near VPS network that you believe infringes your copyright. It is part of our Acceptable Use Policy.

Effective date: 6 November 2026.

1. Sending a notice

Send copyright notices to abuse@nearvps.com with:

  • identification of the copyrighted work;
  • the exact URL or location of the material you say infringes it;
  • your name and contact details;
  • a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law;
  • a statement that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner;
  • your physical or electronic signature.

2. What we do

We review complete notices, forward them to the customer through a support ticket and ask them to remove the material or respond. Where appropriate, we may disable access to the material. Offshore and Netherlands-based services are not exempt from this process.

3. Counter-notices

If you believe material was removed by mistake, reply to the support ticket with your counter-notice, including the removed material, your statement in good faith that it was removed by mistake, your contact details and signature.

4. Repeat infringement

Accounts that repeatedly infringe copyright may be suspended or terminated under our Terms of Service.

5. False notices

Do not send notices you know to be false. Misrepresentations may carry legal liability.
