Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Thank you for visiting our website. We value and respect the intellectual property rights of others, just as we expect others to respect ours. According to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), copyright owners or their representatives can send us a takedown notice if they believe their rights have been infringed. As an internet service provider, we can claim immunity from infringement claims under the DMCA’s “safe harbor” provisions. To submit a claim of infringement, you must provide specific information outlined below:
Notice of Infringement – Claim
- A signature of the copyright owner or an authorized representative.
- Identification of the copyrighted work being infringed.
- Details of the infringing material to be removed, along with information to help locate it.
- Contact information of the complaining party.
- A statement confirming the unauthorized use of the material.
- A statement verifying the accuracy of the claim.
Section 512(f) of Title 17 USC outlines penalties for misrepresentation in infringement notifications. If you believe a takedown notice has been issued in error, you can provide a counter notification with specific elements:
- Your signature.
- Description of the taken-down material and its original location.
- Declaration that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
- Your contact information and consent to jurisdiction.
Repeat infringers are addressed in our policy, with account termination for violators. We reserve the right to update this policy as needed, so please check back regularly for any changes.
