DMCA policy

Version of 14 October 2026

Kranovshik respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the same from everyone who uses the site. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in line with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512) and comparable laws in other countries, including the notice-and-action rules of the EU Digital Services Act.

Content on this site

Kranovshik is a free, non-commercial reference catalog. Technical specifications are facts collected from manufacturers’ public materials and industry publications. Photographs and illustrations of machines come from manufacturers’ press and product materials and other public sources and are used to identify the model being described. Trademarks and logos belong to their owners. If you hold the rights to any material on the site and do not want it published here, we will remove it — no lawsuit is needed: just write to us.

How to send a copyright notice

Send your notice by email to [email protected] with the subject line “DMCA notice”. To let us act quickly, please include:

Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is enough by email).
A description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed.
The exact address (URL) of each page on kranovshik.com where the material appears, and, for images, which image you mean.
Your contact details: name, postal address, telephone number and 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.
A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.

What happens next

We confirm receipt, usually within three business days, and remove or disable access to the material identified in a complete notice promptly. If a notice is incomplete, we will ask for the missing details. We may contact you to clarify which material is meant, for example when the same image appears on several pages.

Counter-notice

If you believe material was removed by mistake or misidentification — for example, you are its author or have permission to publish it — you may send a counter-notice to the same address. It should contain your signature, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, and your name, address and telephone number. We may forward the counter-notice to the person who filed the original notice and restore the material unless they inform us that they have started legal proceedings.

Please note

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. If you are not sure whether material infringes your rights, consider seeking legal advice before sending a notice.
