DMCA & Copyright

We respect copyright. If you believe material on buckinrodeo.com infringes your work, this page tells you how to get it taken down quickly.

Our sourcing standards

Every image we publish falls into one of five categories: editorial-upload we paid for or commissioned; publicly licensed (Wikimedia Commons, Library of Congress, Openverse) with proper attribution; official press-kit material from rodeo organizations and PRCA; properly embedded social-media posts (Instagram, X, TikTok) using platform-provided embed code; or AI-generated stock scenery with disclosed credit "Illustration, Buckin' Rodeo."

We do not re-publish third-party editorial photography without an explicit license or fair-use rationale.

How to file a DMCA takedown notice

Send a written notice to our designated agent:

DMCA Agent · Buckin' Rodeo
Email: dmca@buckinrodeo.com
Subject line: "DMCA Takedown Request"
Postal address: available on request to the email above.

Include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or their authorized agent.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work (link, registration number, or description).
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material (direct URL on buckinrodeo.com).
4. Your contact information (email, phone, address).
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

What we do when we receive a notice

• Acknowledge the notice within 24 hours.
• Remove or disable access to the material within 48 hours while we investigate.
• Notify the person who uploaded the material (if it wasn't us).
• If the content is restored via counter-notice, we'll let you know.

Counter-notice

If you believe content of yours was taken down in error, you may file a counter-notice at the same email address. The counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed material and its prior URL.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, phone number, and consent to jurisdiction of the federal court in Davidson County, Tennessee.

Repeat-infringer policy

Accounts that repeatedly submit infringing content are terminated.

Wikimedia and public-domain attribution

Where we use Wikimedia Commons or Library of Congress imagery, the full attribution is published alongside the image. If you find an attribution error or a misidentified license, email corrections@buckinrodeo.com and we will correct within three business days — faster than a formal DMCA notice would take.
