Policy on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Greetings to our visitors on this platform (‘Site’). We value the rights of creators and respect the intellectual property of individuals, and we anticipate the same respect for our own work. According to the regulations set forth in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, found in Title 17 of the United States Code in Section 512(c), copyright holders or their representatives can send us a request to remove copyrighted material through our designated DMCA Agent mentioned below. As a provider of internet services, we have the right to claim immunity under the “safe harbor” clauses of the DMCA against claims of copyright infringement. If you wish to make a legitimate claim of infringement, you must provide us with the following details:

Notification of Infringement – Claim

1. A signature, either physical or electronic, from the copyright owner or their authorized representative;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed;
3. Details of the infringing material to be removed, along with information to help us locate it. [Kindly include the URL of the specific page for easy identification];
4. Contact information of the complaining party, including name, address, email, phone number, and fax number;
5. A statement expressing the belief that the material’s usage is not authorized by the copyright holder; and
6. A confirmation that the information provided in the notification is precise and that the complainant is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Section 17 USC §512(f) outlines penalties for damages in civil suits, including legal costs, against individuals who knowingly misrepresent information in an infringement notification under Section 17 USC §512(c)(3).

If you need to send us takedown notices, please use the Contact page. Email correspondence will receive a quicker response.

Kindly note that we may disclose the identity and information in any copyright infringement claim to the alleged infringer. Upon submitting a claim, you acknowledge and consent to the possibility of your identity and claim being shared with the alleged infringing party.

Counter Notification – Restoration of Material

If you have received a takedown notice for material due to a copyright infringement claim, you have the right to submit a counter notification to have the material restored. For such cases, the counter notification must be provided in writing to our DMCA Agent and must include the following elements as per Section 17 USC Section 512(g)(3):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. A description of the material taken down and its original location.
3. A statement under oath that you believe the material was removed or disabled due to a mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, phone number, and a declaration agreeing to the jurisdiction of the federal district court where you reside (or if outside the US, any court where the service provider operates), and accepting service of process from the notifier of the original infringement claim.

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

Repeat Infringer Policy

We treat copyright infringement with utmost seriousness. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s policy on repeat infringements, we compile a list of DMCA notices from copyright owners and make a genuine effort to identify repeat offenders. Any individual found violating this policy will have their accounts terminated.
