Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Welcome to (the ‘Site’). We value the rights of intellectual property of others and expect the same respect in return. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a copyright owner or their representative can submit a takedown notice to us using the information provided below. As an internet service provider, we are protected by the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA against claims of copyright infringement. To submit a legitimate infringement claim, specific information needs to be provided as outlined below:
Notice of Infringement – Claim
- A signature of the copyright owner or their authorized representative;
- Identification of the copyrighted work being infringed;
- Details to help locate the infringing material including the URL of the page;
- Contact information of the complaining party;
- A statement verifying that the use of the material is unauthorized;
- An assertion that the information provided is accurate and the complainant is authorized by the copyright owner.
Title 17 USC §512(f) imposes penalties for false claims in infringement notifications under 17 USC §512(c)(3).
Submitted takedown notices should be sent through our Contact page via email for quicker processing.
It is important to understand that the identity of the complainant may be shared with the alleged infringer in any copyright infringement claim we receive.
Counter Notification – Restoration of Material
If you received a takedown notice due to a copyright infringement claim, you may respond with a counter notification to have the material restored on the site. The counter notification must include:
- Your signature;
- Details of the taken down material and its original location;
- A statement affirming that the material was removed due to a mistake;
- Your contact information and consent for legal jurisdiction.
Send the counter notification through our Contact page, preferably via email.
