Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy

Welcome to (the ‘Site’). We value and uphold the intellectual property rights of others, just as we would like our rights to be respected. According to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), a copyright owner or their representative can submit a takedown notice to us through our DMCA Agent mentioned below. Being an internet service provider, we are eligible for immunity from infringement claims under the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. To submit a legitimate infringement claim, you need to furnish us with the following information:

Notice of Infringement – Claim

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner (or an authorized individual);
2. Identification of the copyrighted work alleged to have been infringed;
3. Identification of the infringing material to be removed, along with details to assist in locating the material. [Include the URL of the page in question];
4. Contact information for the complaining party, including name, address, email, phone number, and fax number;
5. A statement from the complaining party affirming that the use of the material is unauthorized by the copyright agent; and
6. A statement affirming the accuracy of the notification information, with the complaining party authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner under penalty of perjury.

Title 17 USC §512(f) specifies civil damage penalties, including expenses and legal fees, for any individual found to have knowingly and substantially misrepresented certain information in a notification of infringement under 17 USC §512(c)(3).

Submit all takedown notices via our Contact page, ideally through email for prompt addressing.

Please be aware that we may disclose the identity and details in any copyright infringement claims we receive with the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you acknowledge, accept, and consent that your identity and claim may be shared with the alleged infringer.

Counter Notification – Restoration of Material

If you have received a takedown notice due to a copyright infringement claim, you can send us a counter notification to have the material restored to the site. The notification must be in writing to our DMCA Agent and should include the following elements as per 17 USC Section 512(g)(3):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. A description of the material taken down and its original location before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith that the material was removed or disabled due to mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, phone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district of your location; or if outside the US, any judicial district where the service provider can be found, and accepting service of process from the party who provided the original infringement notification.

Send your counter notice through our Contact page, with email recommended as the primary mode of communication.

Repeat Infringer Policy

We treat copyright infringement seriously. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s repeat infringer policy, we maintain a list of DMCA notices from copyright holders and make reasonable efforts to identify repeat offenders. Those violating our internal repeat infringer policy will face account termination.
