Kepeink (kepeink.hu) operates an authenticated reverse-connectivity service. Where a user makes material available to the public through the Service and you believe in good faith that the material infringes a copyright you own or are authorised to enforce, you may send a notice of claimed infringement to Kepeink's designated agent. Kepeink designates an agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement under Section 512(c)(2) of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(2).
This process concerns claims under United States copyright law. Kepeink is established in the European Union and responds to properly substantiated notices; using this process does not by itself determine the classification or liability of Kepeink or of any user under any applicable law.

| U.S. Copyright Office designation | DMCA-1076077, effective 22 July 2026 |
This designation is registered in the United States Copyright Office Designated Agent Directory (registration number DMCA-1076077, effective 22 July 2026), and the information above matches that filing. A designation is effective for the Section 512(c) safe harbour only while the same current information is both published here and on file with the Copyright Office; if any detail changes, it must be updated in both places.
How to submit a notice of claimed infringement
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a written notification of claimed infringement sent to the designated agent must include substantially all of the following:
- a physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
- identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if a single notification covers multiple works at one online location, a representative list of those works;
- identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, together with information reasonably sufficient to let Kepeink locate the material — such as the exact public hostname and URL served through the Service, because Kepeink relays traffic to endpoints its users control;
- information reasonably sufficient to let Kepeink contact you, such as a mailing address, telephone number and, if available, an email address;
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Send the notice to the designated agent by email to dmca@kepeink.hu (recommended for the fastest handling) or by mail to the address above. A notice that omits a required element may not be effective. Please provide the specific hostname or URL rather than a general reference, so the material can be located.
On receiving an effective notice, Kepeink will act as described in its abuse and takedown process (see the reports and moderation terms in the Terms of Service and the contacts in the Legal Notice). This may include disabling access to the identified material and notifying the affected user so that they may submit a counter-notification.
Counter-notification
If access to your material was disabled following a notice and you believe the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notification to the designated agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), a counter-notification must include substantially all of the following:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled;
- a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
- your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Kepeink may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the notice of claimed infringement or an agent of that person.
On receiving an effective counter-notification, Kepeink may forward a copy to the person who submitted the original notice and inform that person that it may replace the removed material, or cease disabling access to it, in not less than 10 nor more than 14 business days following receipt of the counter-notification, unless the designated agent first receives notice that the complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
Repeat-infringer policy
In appropriate circumstances and in its discretion, Kepeink terminates the accounts of users who are repeat infringers, consistent with the condition in 17 U.S.C. §512(i). Repeated, substantiated copyright complaints against the same account are handled through Kepeink's abuse and takedown process alongside its other suspension and termination measures; see the reports and moderation terms in the Terms of Service. Kepeink may also suspend or terminate access for other breaches of the Terms independently of this policy.
Misrepresentation
Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages. Do not use this process to submit a false or bad-faith claim. Kepeink may retain a record of a notice or counter-notification, and of the sender's contact details, to operate the process, comply with law, and establish or defend legal claims, as described in the Privacy Notice.
Scope and other complaints
This DMCA process is for claims under United States copyright law only. It is not the channel for other reports. Complaints about illegal content, trademarks, personal data or privacy, defamation, security issues, or general abuse should use Kepeink's general abuse channel at https://manage.kepeink.hu/report or abuse@kepeink.hu, or the contacts in the Legal Notice and Privacy Notice. Reporting the same matter through more than one channel does not speed up review.
Professional review
This page states a Section 512 process in good faith but has not been settled by United States counsel. Before it is relied upon for the DMCA safe harbour, a qualified United States intellectual-property attorney should review the final wording and confirm the Copyright Office designation.
