This DMCA Notice outlines the procedure for reporting and responding to alleged infringements of copyrighted content on our website.

How to Submit a DMCA Notice

If you are the copyright holder or an authorized representative of the copyright holder and believe that your copyrighted work has been infringed upon by content available on our website, please submit a DMCA takedown notice. To be valid, the notice must meet the requirements outlined in the DMCA. The notice should be addressed to our designated DMCA agent and include the following information:

• ✔ Identification of the copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. Please provide a description of the original work that is being infringed upon.
• ✔ A description of the location of the allegedly infringing material on our website. This should include a URL or other specific location on the website where the content can be found.
• ✔ Your contact information, including your full legal name, physical address, phone number, and email address, so we can communicate with you regarding the claim.
• ✔ A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• ✔ A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Our Response to a DMCA Notice

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will take immediate steps to remove or block access to the identified infringing content in accordance with the DMCA and applicable legal requirements. We will act swiftly to ensure compliance with the law, and the allegedly infringing content will be taken down or made inaccessible as soon as possible.

The details of the notice, including your contact information, may be shared with the alleged infringer to allow them an opportunity to resolve the issue directly. In the event that we receive a valid notice, we will notify the person who posted the alleged infringing content, providing them with an opportunity to submit a counter-notification.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that the content was removed in error or was misidentified, you have the right to file a counter-notification. This process allows the content to be restored if the alleged infringer provides sufficient evidence that they are authorized to use the material. To submit a counter-notification, you must provide the following details:

• ✔ Identification of the content that was removed or disabled, including its specific location prior to removal or disabling.
• ✔ Your full name, physical address, phone number, and email address for communication purposes.
• ✔ A statement made under penalty of perjury that you believe the removal or disabling of the content was due to a mistake or misidentification.
• ✔ Your consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court in your area or any applicable U.S. district court if outside the U.S., and your agreement to accept legal process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice.
• ✔ Your physical or electronic signature, which confirms that the information provided in the counter-notification is accurate.

Important Considerations

Please be aware that filing a false DMCA notice or counter-notification can have serious legal consequences, including liability for damages. We strongly recommend that you review the information you submit carefully to ensure its accuracy and legality. Additionally, if you are unsure about whether content infringes on your copyright, we encourage you to seek legal advice before submitting a DMCA notice or counter-notification.

Handling of Takedown Notices

When a takedown notice is submitted and verified, we act swiftly to protect the rights of the copyright holders while ensuring that we comply with the DMCA. Our team reviews the notice and verifies the details before taking action. If the notice is found to be valid, we will remove or disable access to the content promptly.

In some cases, we may need to provide the original content submitter with a chance to resolve the dispute directly with the copyright owner. We aim to strike a balance between protecting intellectual property and providing users with the opportunity to address misunderstandings or disputes.
