Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy

Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy

Welcome to (the ‘Site’). We uphold the rights of intellectual property and expect others to do the same. According to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a copyright owner or their representative can send us a notice to remove infringing material. As an internet service provider, we are protected by the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. To make a valid infringement claim, the following information is required:

Notice of Infringement – Claim

  1. A signature of the copyright owner or their representative;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work that has been infringed;
  3. Identification of the infringing material and details to help locate it;
  4. Contact information of the complaining party;
  5. A statement confirming unauthorized use of the material;
  6. A statement that the information provided is accurate.

Failure to provide accurate information may result in penalties under Title 17 USC §512(f). Takedown notices should be sent via our Contact page for prompt attention.

Be aware that we may share the identity of the complainant with the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you agree to this.

Counter Notification – Restoration of Material

If you believe your material was wrongly taken down, you can send a counter notification. This must be in writing and include:

  1. Your signature;
  2. Description of the taken-down material;
  3. A statement affirming belief of mistake or misidentification;
  4. Your contact details and consent for jurisdiction.

Send your counter notice via our Contact page. Email is preferred.

Repeat Infringer Policy

We have a strict policy against copyright infringement. We keep track of DMCA notices and identify repeat offenders. Accounts of repeat infringers will be terminated.

Modifications

We retain the right to change this policy on handling DMCA claims at our discretion. Check back regularly for updates.
