Policy on Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Greetings to our website (referred to as the ‘Site’). We understand the importance of respecting the intellectual property rights of others, just as we require the same respect for our rights. As per the regulations of 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 using the details of our DMCA Agent listed below. Being an internet service provider, we have the right to claim immunity from such infringement claims under the “safe harbor” conditions of the DMCA. To file a legitimate infringement claim, you must provide notice that includes the following information:

Notice of Copyright Infringement – Claim

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner (or an authorized representative);
2. Identification of the copyrighted work alleged to be infringed;
3. Details of the infringing material to be removed, and adequate information for the service provider to locate it. [Please provide the URL of the page in question to aid in identifying the allegedly offending work];
4. Information necessary for the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as your name, address, email, phone, and fax number;
5. A statement from the complaining party indicating a genuine belief that the material’s use is unauthorized by the copyright holder; and
6. A declaration that the notification information is accurate, and that, under the penalty of perjury, the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Section 17 USC §512(f) specifies civil damages, including fees and legal costs, against anyone who knowingly misrepresents information in an infringement notification under 17 USC §512(c)(3).

Send all takedown notices via our Contact page. For quicker attention, please use email.

Please be aware that we may disclose the identity and information from any copyright infringement claims received with the accused infringer. By submitting a claim, you acknowledge, understand, and agree that your identity and claim may be shared with the alleged infringer.

2. A description of the removed material and where it was originally located.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the material was removed due to a mistake or misidentification.
