Policy on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Greetings to all visitors of this website (referred to as the ‘Site’). We highly value the intellectual property rights of others, just as we anticipate the same level of respect for our own rights. In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, specifically Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512(c), any copyright owner or their representative can send us a takedown notice through our DMCA Agent, whose details are listed below. As an internet service provider, we have the right to claim immunity against accusations of copyright infringement under the ‘safe harbor’ provisions of the DMCA. To file a genuine infringement claim, you must provide the following information:

Notice of Infringement – Claim

1. A physical or electronic signature from the copyright owner (or someone authorized by the owner);
2. Identification of the copyrighted material that has allegedly been infringed;
3. Identification of the infringing material that needs to be removed, along with sufficient information for us to find it. [Kindly provide the URL of the page in question to aid in locating the material];
4. Contact details of the complaining party, including name, address, email, phone number, and fax number;
5. A statement asserting that the complaining party believes in good faith that the material is being used without authorization from the copyright owner; and
6. A statement confirming the accuracy of the notification, and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Section 17 USC §512(f) stipulates penalties, including costs and attorney fees, against anyone who knowingly provides false information in a copyright infringement notification under 17 USC §512(c)(3).

Kindly send all takedown notices via the Contact page. Email is the preferred method for immediate attention.

Please take note that we may disclose the identity and details in any copyright infringement claims received to the alleged infringer. By filing a claim, you understand and agree 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 submit a counter notification to have the material restored on the site. The notification should be in writing to our DMCA Agent and must include the following elements as 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.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith that the material was taken down due to a mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and phone number, along with a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in which your address is located (or any district where the service provider can be found), and accepting service of process from the original notifier.

Submit your counter notice through the Contact page. Email communication is encouraged.

Repeat Infringer Policy

We enforce strict measures against copyright infringement. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s requirements regarding repeat infringers, we maintain a record of DMCA notices from copyright holders and make diligent efforts to identify any repeat offenders. Individuals who violate our internal policy on repeat infringement risk having their accounts terminated.
