Policy on Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Welcome to our website (referred to as the ‘Site’). We value the intellectual property rights of others and expect the same respect for our rights. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, identified as Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), a copyright owner or their representative can send us a takedown notice. As an internet service provider, we can seek immunity from infringement claims under the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. To submit a genuine infringement claim, you will need to provide the following details:
Notice of Infringement – Claim
- A signature of the copyright owner or their authorized representative;

- Identification of the material that needs to be removed along with relevant information for locating it;
- Contact information of the complaining party including name, address, email, phone, and fax number;

Section 17 USC §512(f) outlines penalties for misrepresentation in a notification of infringement under 17 USC §512(c)(3), including financial costs and attorney fees.
All takedown requests should be sent through our Contact page via email for swift action.
When submitting a claim, be aware that we may disclose your information to the alleged infringer.
