Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

OldVersion.com respects the intellectual property rights of software creators and publishers. While our mission is to preserve and provide access to older versions of software for historical, compatibility, and educational purposes, we comply fully with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) and promptly respond to valid takedown notices.

1. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized agent) and believe that a file hosted on OldVersion.com infringes your copyright, please submit a DMCA Takedown Notice including the following information:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
3. Identification of the specific material claimed to be infringing and its location (for example: the exact software title, version, and the page URL).
4. Your contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you 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. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please send takedown requests to our designated DMCA agent:

Note: This contact information is for DMCA notices only. For other questions or general inquiries, please use our contact form.

2. Our Process

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice:

• We will review the claim and remove or disable access to the identified material if appropriate.
• We will notify the requester once the removal is complete.
• If applicable, we will document the takedown internally and mark affected versions as unavailable (for example, showing a 404 page).

If an entire software title is subject to a takedown, all associated versions may be made unavailable.

3. Disputing a Takedown

If you believe that material we removed under a DMCA notice was removed in error (for example, if you are the copyright owner and realize the notice was filed in error, or if you believe the material is in the public domain or otherwise not infringing), please contact our DMCA Agent with the following information:

1. Identification of the material that was removed and its prior location on our site.
2. An explanation of why you believe the removal was in error.
3. Your contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and email address.
4. Any supporting documentation or evidence that the material should not have been removed.

We will review your request and may restore the material if we determine the takedown was indeed in error. However, we reserve the right to maintain the removal if there is any doubt about the copyright status of the material.

4. Use of Trademarks, Product Names, and Logos

OldVersion.com is an independent archival repository of historical software versions. In order to accurately identify software titles, versions, and publishers, our website may reference product names, company names, and associated trademarks.

Such references are used solely for descriptive and identification purposes. We rely on principles commonly referred to as "nominative fair use," which permit the use of a trademark to refer to the trademarked product itself when:

• The product or service cannot be readily identified without use of the trademark;
• Only so much of the mark is used as is reasonably necessary for identification; and
• The use does not suggest sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation by the trademark owner.

OldVersion.com does not claim any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from any software publisher unless explicitly stated.

Logos or other brand assets, where displayed, are used only to identify the associated software in a factual, archival context. If a trademark owner believes that specific material exceeds appropriate identification use, they may contact us at dmca@oldversion.com with detailed information, and we will review the concern promptly.

Nothing on this site is intended to infringe upon or dilute any valid trademark rights.

5. Policy Updates

We may revise this DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect legal, operational, or preservation changes. The date of the most recent update will appear at the top of this page.
