Theme Author using photos from my website for their theme..

Hi, I noticed a theme by a Power Elite Author here using various product photos taken from my ecommerce website for their theme. Is there a preferred way to contact them and ask them to remove? I am assuming (hoping) they can’t just take my product photos like that and should be using stock photo sites or whatever?

I won’t name them or the theme unless necessary as I wouldn’t want to get them in trouble without giving them the chance to rectify, just wondering the best way to go about reaching them?

Thanks!

Hi yoitspeeg,

If you believe your photos are being used without permission, the appropriate step would be to file a DMCA Takedown Request. Envato takes copyright issues seriously, and they have a clear process for reporting such violations.

You can follow the detailed DMCA process outlined here: The DMCA Process.

Through this process, Envato will investigate your claim and take the necessary actions. Once you submit the DMCA notice, Envato will contact the author to address the issue.

Hope this helps! :blush:

Try contacting the author and ask for removal of those images:

If it doesn’t help, you can contact Envato support as @fibrinosa suggested. ( DMCA )
