Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy

Welcome to our website. We value the intellectual property rights of others and expect the same respect for our rights. According to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), copyright owners or their representatives can send us a takedown notice through our DMCA Agent. As an internet service provider, we are protected by the “safe harbor” rules of the DMCA against infringement claims. To make a good faith infringement claim, you need to provide specific information.

Notice of Infringement – Claim

  1. A signature from the copyright owner or authorized representative;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work that was allegedly infringed;
  3. Identification of the infringing material and its location, including the URL;
  4. Contact information of the complaining party;
  5. A statement that the use of the material is unauthorized;
  6. A statement that the information provided is accurate and the complaining party is authorized by the copyright owner.

Section 512(f) of Title 17 USC outlines penalties for misrepresenting information in an infringement notification.

To send takedown notices, use our Contact page and email for faster response.

Keep in mind that we may share your information with the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you consent to this.

Counter Notification – Restoration of Material

If your material was taken down due to a copyright claim, you can provide a counter notification to have it restored. The notification must include:

  1. Your signature;
  2. Description of the removed material and its original location;
  3. A statement that the material was removed by mistake;
  4. Your contact information and consent to jurisdiction.

Send your counter notice through our Contact page, preferably via email.
