Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Welcome to our website. We value the intellectual property rights of others and expect the same respect for our rights. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a copyright owner or their representative can submit a takedown notice to our DMCA Agent. As an internet service provider, we are protected under the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. To file an infringement claim, you must provide certain information as outlined below:

- Details of the infringing material and its location on our website;
- Contact information of the complaining party;
- A statement confirming the unauthorized use of the material;
- A statement verifying the accuracy of the information provided.
Section 512(f) of Title 17 USC outlines penalties for misrepresentation in copyright infringement claims. All takedown notices should be sent via email for prompt attention.
By submitting a claim, you acknowledge that your information may be shared with the alleged infringer. You must agree to this before proceeding with the claim.
