Policy on Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Greetings to our website (referred to as the ‘Site’). We value the intellectual property rights of all individuals and anticipate the same respect for our rights from others. According to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Section 512(c) of Title 17 of the United States Code, a copyright holder or their representative can submit a request to remove content through the DMCA Agent specified below. As an internet service provider, we are entitled to immunity from claims of infringement under the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. To file a legitimate infringement claim with us, you must provide a notification containing the following details:

Notice of Infringement – Claim

  1. A signature from the copyright owner or their authorized representative;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted material allegedly infringed;
  3. Identification of the infringing material for removal, along with sufficient information for us to locate it [Please include the URL of the page in question for assistance in identifying the alleged infringement];
  4. Contact information for the complainant, including name, address, email, phone, and fax number;
  5. A statement that the complainant believes in good faith that the material’s use is unauthorized by the copyright owner; and
  6. A statement asserting the accuracy of the notification and the complainant’s authorization to act on behalf of the copyright holder under penalty of perjury.

Section 512(f) of Title 17 USC establishes penalties for civil damages, including legal fees, against individuals who knowingly misrepresent information in an infringement notification under 17 USC §512(c)(3).

All takedown notices should be sent through our Contact page. For quicker attention, send them via email.

Keep in mind that we may disclose the identity and details in any copyright infringement claim to the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you acknowledge and agree that your information and claim may be shared with the alleged infringer.

Counter Notification – Restoration of Material

If you have been notified of content takedown due to a copyright infringement claim, you can provide a counter notification to have the material restored. The notification must be written and include the following elements per 17 USC Section 512(g)(3):

  1. Your signature, either physical or electronic.
  2. A description of the removed material and its original location.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe the removal was due to error or misidentification of the material.
  4. Your name, address, phone number, and a consent statement for jurisdiction in the federal district court where your address is located.
