Copyright & DMCA Policy

Last updated: June 24, 2026.

ZipLeaf, a network of online business directories owned and operated by Netcode, Inc. (“ZipLeaf”, “we”, “us”), respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. This policy explains who owns the content on the Service and how to submit a copyright infringement notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and similar laws.

Ownership of the Service

The ZipLeaf platform — including its software, design, layout, graphics, logos and the compilation, selection and arrangement of its directory data — is owned by or licensed to Netcode, Inc. and is protected by copyright, database and other intellectual property rights. The ZipLeaf name and logo are trademarks of Netcode, Inc. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, scrape, harvest, store, distribute or create derivative works from any part of the Service or its data for commercial or public purposes without our prior written permission. Please also see our Terms of Service.

User-submitted & directory content

Many listings are created and maintained by business owners and other users, who are solely responsible for the content they publish and for ensuring they have the rights to publish it. Other directory information is compiled from publicly available sources and from data we have obtained the right to use. While we take reasonable care, we cannot independently verify the origin of every record, and we rely on rights holders to let us know if they believe specific content infringes their rights.

Filing a copyright infringement notice (DMCA)

If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that content on the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notice through our contact page. It is our policy to respond to clear, complete notices of alleged infringement and, where appropriate, to remove or disable access to the material. Your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that is allegedly infringed;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are involved;
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate it (for example, the listing URL or business name);
4. Information reasonably sufficient to allow us to contact you, such as your name, address, telephone number and email address;
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Counter-notification

If your content was removed or disabled and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification through our contact page. It must include your signature; identification of the material and its location before removal; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and telephone number, together with your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts. We may restore the material in accordance with applicable law unless the original complainant pursues legal action.

Repeat infringers

We may, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, remove content, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are the subject of repeated infringement notices, and take any other action we consider necessary.

Misrepresentation

Please note that under the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Please be sure that the content you are reporting is genuinely infringing before submitting a notice.
