Policy Regarding the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Thanks for visiting our website (referred to as the ‘Site’). Respecting the intellectual property rights of others is paramount to us, just as we expect others to respect our rights. In accordance with the regulations laid out in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which can be found in Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512(c), a copyright owner or their representative can submit a request for removal of infringing content through our designated DMCA Agent listed below. As providers of an internet service, we are eligible for protection under the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA against claims of infringement.

6. A statement affirming the accuracy of the information provided and asserting, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Section 17 USC §512(f) imposes civil penalties, such as costs and attorney fees, on anyone who knowingly misrepresents information in a notification of infringement under 17 USC §512(c)(3).

Send all takedown notices to us through our Contact page. For a prompt response, please use email.
