Copyright & DMCA Policy
Last updated: September 2, 2026
Lixtara, LLC ("Lixtara," "we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the people who use our platform to do the same. This policy explains how to notify us of material you believe infringes your copyright, what we do when we receive such a notice, and how to respond if your material was removed.
This policy is provided under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512. It applies to material displayed on lixtara.com, including property listings, photographs, floor plans, videos, and written descriptions.
1. Designated Copyright Agent
Lixtara has designated the following agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement. This agent is registered with the United States Copyright Office.
Copyright Agent LIXTARA LLC 181 Vera Court Coral Gables, FL 33143 United States Email: dmca@lixtara.com Telephone: 786-210-3562 U.S. Copyright Office Registration No. DMCA-1080195
Please direct copyright notices only to the agent above. Notices sent to other addresses, or inquiries that are not copyright notices, may not receive a timely response and may not be effective under the DMCA.
2. How to Submit a Notice of Claimed Infringement
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A), your written notice to our Designated Copyright Agent must include substantially all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it. For a listing, please include the full URL of the page and identify the specific photograph or text at issue.
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, including your mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
- 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.
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
3. What Happens After We Receive a Notice
When we receive a notice that substantially complies with Section 2, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified. We will make a reasonable effort to notify the person who supplied the material that it has been removed or disabled, and we will provide that person with a copy of the notice.
Where the material at issue is listing content supplied to us through a Multiple Listing Service data feed, we will additionally forward a complete copy of the notice to the originating MLS within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt, as required by our data license agreement, so that the MLS and the listing brokerage can address the matter at the source.
Removing or disabling material in response to a notice is not a determination that infringement occurred. It is the process the DMCA prescribes, and it is available to the person who supplied the material to contest through a counter-notification.
4. Counter-Notification
If your material was removed or disabled and you believe that removal was the result of a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a written counter-notification to our Designated Copyright Agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), it must include substantially all of the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, mailing address, and telephone number.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Lixtara may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice, or from that person's agent.
5. Restoration of Material
If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward a copy to the person who submitted the original notice and inform them that we may replace the removed material, or cease disabling access to it, in not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days.
We will restore the material within that period unless our Designated Copyright Agent first receives notice that the original complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
6. Repeat Infringers
Consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Lixtara has adopted and reasonably implements a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
Depending on the circumstances, we may also remove specific material, suspend a listing, suspend an account pending review, or decline to accept future submissions from a person or entity. We accommodate and do not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect their works.
7. Misrepresentations Carry Liability
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or its licensee, or by Lixtara.
If you are not certain whether the material at issue is protected by copyright or whether the use is infringing, we encourage you to seek advice from an attorney before submitting a notice or a counter-notification.
8. Listing Content and Third-Party Rights
Some material displayed on Lixtara originates from third parties, including sellers who upload their own photographs and, where applicable, listing content licensed to us through a Multiple Listing Service. Sellers who upload material to Lixtara represent that they hold the necessary rights to do so.
MLS listing content remains the property of its respective owners and is licensed to Lixtara for display only. Copyright and attribution notices accompanying that content may not be removed, obscured, or altered.
Nothing in this policy limits any other right or remedy available to Lixtara, to any copyright owner, or to any other party.
