Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Welcome to our website (referred to as the ‘Site’). We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect the same in return. According to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a copyright owner or their representative can send us a takedown notice to remove infringing content. As an internet service provider, we are protected by the DMCA’s “safe harbor” provisions.
Notice of Infringement – Claim
- A signature from the copyright owner or authorized representative.
- Identification of the copyrighted work that has been infringed.
- Details of the infringing material to be removed, including the URL of the page.
- Contact information of the complaining party.
- A statement asserting that the use of the material is unauthorized.
- An affirmation of the accuracy of the information provided.
Section 17 USC §512(f) imposes penalties on those who misrepresent information in a takedown notice. Takedown notices can be sent through our Contact page via email.
It is important to note that we may disclose the identity of the copyright complainant to the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you acknowledge and agree to this.
Counter Notification – Restoration of Material
If you receive a takedown notice due to a copyright claim, you can submit a counter notification to have the material restored. This must be done in writing to our DMCA Agent and include:
- Your signature.
- Description of the material taken down and its original location.
- A statement affirming your belief that the removal was a mistake.
- Your contact information and consent to jurisdiction for legal purposes.
Counter notices can be sent through our Contact page, preferably via email.
Repeat Infringer Policy
We have strict policies against copyright infringement. We keep a record of DMCA notices and take action against repeat offenders by terminating their accounts.
Modifications
We reserve the right to update our DMCA policy at any time. Please check back regularly for any changes.
