Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Welcome to this website. We value the rights of intellectual property and expect others to do the same towards us. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), copyright owners or their representatives can send a takedown notice to our DMCA Agent. As an internet service provider, we are protected by the “safe harbor” rules of the DMCA against infringement claims. To submit an infringement claim, certain information must be provided:
Notice of Infringement – Claim
- A signature from the copyright owner or authorized representative.
- Identification of the copyrighted material allegedly infringed.
- Details to help locate the infringing material, including the URL.
- Contact information of the complaining party.
- A statement affirming the good faith belief of unauthorized material use.
- A statement verifying the accuracy of the information provided under penalty of perjury.
Section 512(f) of Title 17 USC outlines penalties for misrepresentation in infringement notifications. Takedown notices should be sent through the Contact page via email for quick processing.
It is important to note that we may disclose information from copyright claims received with the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you consent to the disclosure of your identity.
Counter Notification – Restoration of Material
If you receive a takedown notice and believe it is in error, you can send a counter notification to our DMCA Agent. The notification should include:
- Your signature.
- Description of the removed material and its original location.
- A statement declaring under penalty of perjury the belief of mistaken removal.
- Your contact information and consent to jurisdiction for legal purposes.
Counter notices can be sent through the Contact page, preferably via email.
Repeat Infringer Policy
We have a strict policy regarding copyright infringement and maintain a list of DMCA notices to identify repeat offenders. Accounts of repeat infringers will be terminated.
Modifications
We reserve the right to update this policy on handling DMCA claims. It is recommended to check this page regularly for any changes.
