DMCA & Copyright Policy

How Templ8 handles copyright concerns and takedown requests.

Last updated: March 14, 2026

Overview

Templ8.email provides an email template archive that displays publicly sent marketing emails for design inspiration and research purposes. We respect intellectual property rights and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and equivalent EU/international copyright frameworks. If you believe content on our platform infringes your rights, we provide a clear process for requesting removal.

How Our Archive Works

Templ8's Explore archive collects and displays publicly sent marketing emails and newsletters. These are shown purely for design inspiration and educational research — similar to how web archives preserve publicly accessible web pages.

Templates are displayed with attribution to the original brand/sender where known.
Images in copied templates are automatically watermarked and replaced to prevent direct reuse of brand assets.
Archive templates are for design layout inspiration only — they are not intended for redistribution or impersonation.

Filing a Copyright Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act on behalf of one) and believe that content on Templ8 infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice containing the following:

Your physical or electronic signature (or the signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner).
Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
Identification of the material on our service that you claim is infringing, with sufficient detail for us to locate it (e.g., URL of the template page).
Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, and email address).
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that content was removed in error, you may file a counter-notification containing:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared 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.
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.

Counter-notifications should be sent to takedown@templ8.email.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and applicable copyright law, Templ8 will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. A user may be deemed a repeat infringer if they receive two or more valid takedown notices. Templ8 reserves the right to terminate any account at any time if, in our sole discretion, the user has repeatedly infringed the copyrights of others.
