Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Welcome to (the ‘Site’). We value the rights of intellectual property owners and expect the same in return. According to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), copyright owners or their representatives can send us a notice to remove infringing material from the site. As an internet service provider, we are protected by the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. To submit a valid infringement claim, certain information needs to be provided:
Notice of Infringement – Claim
- A signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent;
- Identification of the copyrighted work being infringed;
- Identification of the infringing material and a URL to locate it;
- Contact information of the complaining party;
- A statement affirming the unauthorized use of the material;
- A statement verifying the accuracy of the information provided.
Under Title 17 USC §512(f), penalties can be imposed on those who knowingly misrepresent information in a notification of infringement. Takedown notices should be sent via email for prompt attention.
It’s important to note that we may share the information in a copyright infringement claim with the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you agree to this.
Counter Notification – Restoration of Material
If your content has been taken down due to a copyright claim, you can send us a counter notification to have it restored. The counter notification must include:
- Your signature;
- A description of the material taken down and its original location;
- A statement that the removal was a mistake;
- Your contact information and consent to jurisdiction.
Counter notifications should be sent through email for efficiency.
Repeat Infringer Policy
We have a strict policy against copyright infringement and track DMCA notices to identify repeat offenders. Accounts of repeat infringers will be terminated.
Modifications
We reserve the right to update our DMCA policy at any time. It is recommended to check this page regularly for any changes.
