Copyright (DMCA)

Last updated: October 2, 2026

Tree Host respects the rights of creators. If you believe a server or file hosted on Tree Host infringes your copyright, send us a notice as described below. We handle notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. ยง 512) and similar laws.

Our designated agent

Send notices to our copyright agent:

  • , Copyright Agent, Tree Host
  • Email: our copyright address
  • Mail:

What a notice must include

  1. Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name works).
  2. What work you say is infringed (for example a link to the original plugin, map or mod).
  3. Where it is on Tree Host: the server address, the server's listing on our server list, or the file name, so we can find it.
  4. Your name, address, phone number and email.
  5. This statement: "I have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
  6. This statement: "The information in this notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright that is allegedly infringed."

Notices that leave something out may not be valid, and we may ask you to complete them. Sending a false notice on purpose can make you liable for damages.

What we do

When we get a valid notice we remove or disable the material, tell the server owner (with a copy of the notice, minus your private contact details where the law allows) and log it with an action number.

Counter-notices

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or you have the right to use it, you can send a counter-notice to the same address with:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. What was removed and where it was before.
  3. This statement: "Under penalty of perjury, I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification."
  4. Your name, address and phone number, and this statement: "I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which Tree Host may be found), and I will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or their agent."

We forward valid counter-notices to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after we got the counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of repeat infringers. An account that gets 3 valid notices that are not successfully countered within 12 months is terminated, along with its servers. See section 5 of our Terms of Service.

Other problems
