Policy on Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Welcome to our website. We value the rights of intellectual property just as we demand the respect of our rights. According to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), a copyright owner or their representative can send us a notice to remove content that infringes their copyright. As an internet service provider, we are eligible for immunity under the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. In order to make a valid copyright infringement claim, you must provide certain information to us:

Notification of Infringement – Claim

1. A signature from the copyright owner or their authorized representative;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work being infringed;
3. Identification of the material to be removed, along with details to locate it;
4. Contact information of the complaining party including name, address, email, phone number, and fax number;
5. A statement that the use of the material is unauthorized by the copyright owner;
6. A declaration that the information provided is accurate, and that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Section 17 USC §512(f) outlines penalties for misrepresentation in infringement claims under 17 USC §512(c)(3), including legal costs and attorney fees.

Any takedown notices should be sent through our Contact page via email for quick response.

It is important to note that we may disclose the identity and details of any copyright infringement claim to the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you agree to this.

Counter Notification – Restoration of Material

If you receive a takedown notice due to a copyright claim, you may send a counter notification to have the material restored on the website. This notification must include:

1. Your signature;
2. A description of the material taken down and its original location;
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification;
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and consent to jurisdiction of the court.

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

Policy on Repeat Infringers

We have a strict policy against copyright infringement. We keep a record of DMCA notices and make efforts to identify repeat offenders. Accounts of repeat infringers will be terminated.

Changes in Policy

We retain the right to amend this policy on handling DMCA claims at any time. It is advised to check back periodically for updates.
