DMCA Notice and Takedown Policy

We take copyright protection seriously and comply with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512. As a “Service Provider,” we are protected under the DMCA’s “safe harbor” provisions, provided we implement a clear and effective Notice and Takedown procedure. This policy outlines the process for notifying us of potential copyright infringement and our procedures for addressing those complaints.

1. Our Commitment to Copyright Protection

We are committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of authors, artists, developers, and content creators. If you believe that your copyright-protected material has been copied, used, or distributed on this website without authorization, please notify us in accordance with the procedure below. We will review all proper DMCA notices and take appropriate action, including removal of the content or disabling access to it.

2. Filing a DMCA Notice – What to Include

To submit a valid DMCA takedown notice, you must provide a written communication that includes the following elements as required by law:

  • (a) Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  • (b) Description of the Copyrighted Work: A clear and detailed description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed.
  • (c) Location of the Infringing Material: A specific description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on our site (a URL is helpful).
  • (d) Contact Information: Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • (e) Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • (f) Accuracy Statement: A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Once all of the above elements are provided, we will process your takedown request as quickly as possible. Notices that fail to meet these requirements may be deemed invalid.

3. How to Submit a DMCA Notice

You may submit your takedown notice via email or postal mail to our designated agent. Our contact information is listed on our website under the “Contact” or “Legal” section.

Please note: Filing a false DMCA notice may result in legal consequences. Only submit a takedown request if you are certain that you own the rights to the content or are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder.

4. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that content was wrongly removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notice, you have the right to submit a counter-notification. This must include:

  • Your physical or electronic signature;
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled, along with its prior location;
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification;
  • Your name, address, phone number, and email;
  • A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district and accepting service of process from the original complainant.

We will forward your counter-notification to the original claimant. If they do not file a legal action within 10–14 business days, we may reinstate the removed content.

5. Repeat Infringers

We have a zero-tolerance policy for repeat copyright infringers. Users who are the subject of multiple valid DMCA notices may have their access or accounts permanently terminated.

6. Policy Updates

We reserve the right to update or change this policy at any time without prior notice. Users are encouraged to review this page regularly to stay informed of any modifications.
