Policy Regarding Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Greetings to all visitors of our website (referred to as the ‘Site’). It is important for us to acknowledge and uphold the intellectual property rights of all individuals, just as we expect others to respect our own rights. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which can be found in Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512(c), a copyright owner or their designated representative has the option to submit a takedown notice to us through our DMCA Agent whose contact information is provided below. As an internet service provider, we are eligible to seek protection from infringement claims under the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. To file a legitimate infringement claim, certain information must be included in your notice to us:

Reporting Infringement – Process

  1. A signature (physical or electronic) from the copyright owner or an authorized representative;
  2. Clear identification of the copyrighted material that is claimed to have been infringed;
  3. Accurate details about the infringing material that needs to be removed, including the URL of the specific page;
  4. Contact information of the complaining party (name, address, email, phone, fax);
  5. An assertion that the use of the material is unauthorized by the copyright holder;
  6. A statement verifying that all information provided is truthful and that the notifier is authorized by the copyright owner.

According to Title 17 USC §512(f), there are financial and legal consequences, such as attorney fees, for knowingly misrepresenting information in an infringement notification filed under 17 USC §512(c)(3).

All takedown notices should be transmitted via our Contact page, preferably by email for faster processing.

It is important to note that we may disclose the identity and information of any individual filing a copyright infringement claim to the accused infringer. By submitting a claim, you acknowledge and agree to the potential disclosure of your identity to the alleged infringing party.

Counter Notification – Material Restoration

If you have received a takedown notice due to a copyright infringement accusation and wish to have the material reinstated, you can submit a counter notification to our DMCA Agent. This notification must adhere to the following requirements specified in 17 USC Section 512(g)(3):

  1. Your signature (physical or electronic);
  2. A description of the taken-down material and its original location;
  3. A statement confirming that the removal was an error or misidentification;
  4. Your name, address, phone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court.

Please send your counter notification through our Contact page, with email as the preferred method of communication.
