Policy Regarding the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Greetings to all users of this website (referred to as the ‘Site’). Our team values the intellectual property rights of others, as we hope others will do the same for us. In accordance with the regulations outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, specifically outlined in Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512(c), any copyright owner or their appointed representative has the authority to submit a request for content takedown to our designated DMCA Agent, whose contact information is provided below. As an internet service provider, we are protected under the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA, which allows us immunity from claims of copyright infringement in certain circumstances.

Protocol for Reporting Copyright Infringement

1. A signature, electronic or physical, from the copyright holder or an authorized representative;
2. Accurate identification of the copyrighted material alleged to be infringed;
3. Clear identification of the infringing material and sufficient details to help us locate it (including the URL of the specific page);
4. Contact information of the complainant, such as name, address, email, phone number, and fax number;
5. A statement asserting that the complainant genuinely believes the unauthorized use of the material has occurred;
6. An affirmation that the information provided is truthful, and a declaration under the penalty of perjury that the complainant is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright holder.

According to Title 17 USC §512(f) violation of accurate information under a copyright infringement claim can result in civil penalties, including legal costs and attorney fees.

All requests for content takedown should be directed through our Contact page, preferably via email for efficient processing.

Kindly note that we may disclose the identity and details related to any copyright infringement claims with the accused infringer. By filing a claim, you acknowledge and consent to the potential sharing of your information with the alleged infringer.

Responding to Takedown Requests – Submitting a Counter Notification

If you receive a notice of content removal due to a copyright claim, you have the option to submit a counter notification to challenge the takedown. Your counter notification must be in writing and must include the following components as per 17 USC Section 512(g)(3):

2. A description of the material taken down and its original location;
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, affirming that you believe the removal was a result of an error or misidentification;
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and an acceptance of jurisdiction of the court where the service provider is located.
