Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Welcome to our website (referred to as the ‘Site’). We value and uphold the intellectual property rights of individuals, just as we expect others to respect our own rights. As outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), copyright owners or their representatives can issue a takedown notice to us through 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 infringement.
Notice of Infringement – Claim
- A signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative.
- Identification of the copyrighted work that has been infringed.
- Details of the infringing material to be removed, including the URL for easy identification.
- Contact information of the complaining party: name, address, email, phone number, and fax number.
- A statement confirming the unauthorized use of the material.
- A statement verifying the accuracy of the notification and the authority of the complaining party.
Section 17 USC §512(f) outlines penalties for providing false information in infringement notifications, including costs and attorney fees.
Submit all takedown notices via our Contact page, preferably by email for swift attention.
Kindly note that we may disclose the identity and details of any copyright infringement claim to the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you acknowledge and consent to this disclosure.
