Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Welcome to our website (referred to as the ‘Site’). We value the intellectual property rights of others and expect the same in return. In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), copyright owners or their representatives can submit a takedown notice to our designated DMCA Agent listed below. As an internet service provider, we are protected by the ‘safe harbor’ provisions of the DMCA against claims of copyright infringement. To file an infringement claim in good faith, specific information must be provided:
Notice of Infringement – Claim
- A signature from the copyright owner or authorized representative;
- Identification of the copyrighted material being infringed;
- Details about the infringing material and its location for removal;
- Contact information of the complaining party;
- A statement affirming that the use of the material is not authorized;
- An acknowledgment that the information provided is accurate and authorized by the copyright owner.
Under Title 17 USC §512(f), penalties can be imposed on those who knowingly misrepresent information in an infringement notification. Takedown notices should be sent through our Contact page for prompt attention.
It is important to note that we may disclose the identity of the copyright claimant to the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you consent to this sharing of information.
Counter Notification – Restoration of Material
If your material was taken down due to a copyright claim, you can send a counter notification to request restoration. Your notification must include:
- Your signature;
- A description of the removed material;
- A statement confirming your belief that the removal was due to error;
- Your contact information and consent to jurisdiction.
Submit your counter notice through our Contact page, preferably via email.
