Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
We respect the intellectual property rights of others
just as we expect others to respect our rights. Pursuant to Digital Millennium
Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), a copyright owner
or their agent may submit a takedown notice to us via our DMCA Agent listed
below. As an internet service provider, we are entitled to claim immunity from
said infringement claims pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA.
To submit a good faith infringement claim to us, you must submit notice to us
that sets forth the following information:
Notice of Infringement – Claim
1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright
owner (or someone authorized to act on behalf of the owner);
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have
been infringed;
3. Identification of the infringing material to be
removed, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider
to locate the material. [Please submit the URL of the page in question to
assist us in identifying the allegedly offending work];
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the
service provider to contact the complaining party including your name, physical
address, email address, phone number and fax number;
5. A statement that the complaining party has a good
faith belief that the use of the material is unauthorized by the copyright
agent; and
6. A statement that the information in the notification
is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is
authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Title 17 USC §512(f) provides civil damage penalties,
including costs and attorney fees, against any person who knowingly and
materially misrepresents certain information in a notification of infringement
under 17 USC §512(c)(3).
Send all takedown notices through our Contact page.
Please send by email for prompt attention.

infringer. In submitting a claim, you understand accept and agree that your
identity and claim may be communicated to the alleged infringer.
Counter Notification – Restoration of Material

notification in an effort to have the material in question restored to the
site. Said notification must be given in writing to our DMCA Agent and must
contain substantially the following elements pursuant to 17 USC Section
512(g)(3):
