Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy

Greetings to all users of this website (the ‘Site’). We value and respect the intellectual property rights of individuals just as we expect the same mutual respect for our rights. In accordance with the regulations outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which can be found in Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512(c), any copyright owner or their authorized representative has the right to issue a takedown notice to us through our designated DMCA Agent mentioned below. As a provider of internet services, we are protected by the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA, which allows us immunity from infringement claims.

Notice of Infringement – Claim

1. A signature from the copyright owner or their legally authorized representative;
2. Clear identification of the copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed;
3. Details regarding the specific infringing material to be removed along with information that aids in locating it (such as the URL of the page);
4. Contact information of the complaining party including name, physical address, email address, phone number, and fax number;
5. A statement affirming that the complaining party believes in good faith that the material’s use is unauthorized by the copyright owner; and
6. A declaration confirming the accuracy of the provided information and attesting, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party has the authority to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Section 17 USC §512(f) imposes civil penalties on individuals who knowingly supply false information in a copyright infringement notification under 17 USC §512(c)(3), including costs and attorney fees.

All takedown notices should be directed through our Contact page, preferably via email for expedited handling.

Kindly note that any information regarding copyright infringement claims received from us may also be shared with the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you acknowledge and agree that your identity and claim details may be disclosed to the alleged infringer.

1. Your signature, whether physical or electronic;
2. A description of the removed material and its original location before removal;
3. A sworn statement asserting that the material was taken down or disabled due to a mistake or misidentification;
4. Your name, address, phone number, and an agreement to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in which you reside (or any district in which the service provider can be located if you are outside the US), and your acceptance of service of process from the notifier of the original infringement claim.
