Policy Regarding Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Greetings to all visitors of this website (referred to as the ‘Site’). We highly value and uphold the intellectual property rights of others, just as we expect the same level of respect towards our rights. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, as outlined in Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512(c), any copyright owner or their authorized agent has the ability to issue a takedown notice to us through our designated DMCA Agent. As an internet service provider, we are eligible to claim immunity from infringement claims under the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. To file a legitimate infringement claim with us, specific information must be included in the notice submitted to us.

Notice of Infringement – Claim

  1. An authentication in the form of a physical or electronic signature from the copyright owner or their representative;
  2. Explicit identification of the copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed;
  3. Identification of the infringing material to be removed, along with ample information to help locate the material. The URL of the concerned page should be provided to facilitate identification;
  4. Information that enables our service provider to contact the complaining party, including their name, physical address, email, phone number, and fax number;
  5. A statement affirming the complaining party’s genuine belief that the material’s use lacks authorization from the copyright agent;
  6. A statement declaring the accuracy of the notification’s content, and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to represent the copyright owner.

Section 17 USC §512(f) includes provisions for civil penalties, encompassing expenses like costs and attorney fees, against anyone who knowingly furnishes false information in a notification of infringement under 17 USC §512(c)(3).

All takedown notices should be forwarded through our Contact page, preferably via email for swift attention.

Please take note that we may disclose the identity and details in any copyright infringement claim we receive with the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you acknowledge, accept, and consent to the potential communication of your identity and claim to the alleged infringer.

Counter Notification – Restoration of Material

If you’ve received a takedown notice due to a copyright infringement claim, you have the option to present us with a counter notification to request the reinstatement of the material. This notification must be issued in writing to our DMCA Agent and should include the following elements per 17 USC Section 512(g)(3):

  1. Your physical or electronic signature;
  2. A description of the material that was removed and its original location before removal;
  3. A sworn statement asserting your belief, in good faith, that the removal or disabling resulted from an error or misidentification;
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the federal district court’s jurisdiction located in the region of your address (or any judicial district where the service provider is based if you’re outside the US), accepting service of process from the notifier.

Submit your counter notice through our Contact page, with email being the preferred method of communication.

Repeat Infringer Policy

We treat copyright infringement with the utmost seriousness. Compliant with the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s repeat infringer policy, we uphold a record of DMCA notices from copyright holders and diligently strive to identify any repeat violators. Individuals violating our internal repeat infringer policy will face account termination.
