DMCA Notice & Takedown Policy
This website (“Site”) operates as a “Service Provider” under the definition outlined in 17 U.S.C. 512(k)(1) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). As such, the Site is entitled to the protections provided by the DMCA’s “safe harbor” provisions and is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We expect the same level of responsibility from our users.
To comply with the DMCA, we have established the following procedures for submitting notices of alleged copyright infringement and for filing counter-notifications.
If you believe your copyrighted work has been used on this Site in a way that infringes your rights, you must send a written notice to our Designated DMCA Agent containing the following information:
A physical or digital signature of the individual authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder.
A detailed description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property you claim has been infringed.
The specific location of the allegedly infringing content on the Site (ideally including exact URLs).
Your full contact details, including mailing address, phone number, and email address.
A good faith statement asserting that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its representative, or the law.
A declaration made under penalty of perjury that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
Knowingly submitting false or misleading notices under the DMCA can result in legal consequences, including damages and attorney’s fees, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. 512(f). Our DMCA procedure is intended strictly for valid copyright complaints from rights holders or their authorized representatives. Abuse of the process may result in legal action.
Upon receipt of a valid copyright infringement notice, the Site will quickly take action to remove or disable access to the reported content. In appropriate circumstances, users who repeatedly infringe on intellectual property rights may have their accounts terminated.
If the notice does not meet all requirements under Section 512(c) of the DMCA but provides enough detail to identify the potentially infringing material, we may reach out to the notifying party to assist them in providing a complete notice.
Once a valid notice is received and action is taken, the affected user will be informed. That user then has the option to respond with a counter-notification.
If you believe that content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice under Section 512(g) of the DMCA. Your counter-notification must include:
Identification of the content that was removed or disabled and its location before removal (including specific URLs).
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith the material was removed in error or due to misidentification. Suggested format:
“I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.”
Your name, address, phone number, and email.
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate Federal District Court, and that you agree to accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their legal representative.
Your physical or digital signature.
Send your counter-notification to the same address as listed above for DMCA notices.
If a valid counter-notification is received, the Site will forward it to the original complainant. If, within 10 to 14 business days, the original party does not initiate legal action to restrain the disputed content, we may restore or re-enable access to the content.
If the party allegedly engaging in infringing activity is a separate Service Provider under the DMCA, then the copyright claim should be directed to that provider’s own Designated Agent, not this Site.
The Site may revise this DMCA Policy at any time without prior notice. Users are advised to review it regularly to stay up-to-date with any modifications.
Please be advised that our Designated DMCA Agent is not affiliated with our customer support team and will not respond to service-related questions, billing issues, or cancellation requests. All such inquiries should be directed to the Site’s customer service department.
