If you believe in good faith that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide Mary Kay's Designated Agent, identified below, in writing with the information listed below. Please note that this procedure is exclusively for notifying Mary Kay that your copyrighted material has been infringed. Mary Kay does not and will not make any legal decisions about the validity of your claim of infringement or the possible defenses to a claim. When a clear and valid notice is received pursuant to the guidelines set forth below, Mary Kay will respond by either taking down the allegedly infringing content or blocking access to it.

The Alleged Infringer is allowed under the law to send Mary Kay a counter-notification. Notices and counter-notices are legal notices distinct from regular activities or communications made via these Services. We may publish or share them with third parties in our sole discretion (in addition to producing them pursuant to a subpoena or other legal discovery request).  Anyone making a false or fraudulent notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages under the DMCA, including costs and attorneys' fees. Any person who is unsure of whether certain material infringes a copyright held by such person or a third party should contact an attorney.

Reporting Instances of Copyright Infringement:
