Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

We are committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others and expect the same respect in return. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), copyright owners or their representatives can submit a takedown notice to us via our designated DMCA Agent listed below. As an internet service provider, we are entitled to seek immunity from infringement claims under the DMCA’s “safe harbor” provisions.

To file a valid infringement claim, please provide us with the following information:

Infringement Notice Requirements

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized representative.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work alleged to be infringed.
3. Identification of the infringing material and sufficient details to allow us to locate it (including the URL of the material in question).
4. Information to enable us to contact the complainant, such as their name, physical address, email address, phone number, and fax number.
5. A statement affirming the complainant’s good faith belief that the use of the material is unauthorized.
6. A statement affirming that the information provided is accurate and that the complainant is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner under penalty of perjury.

Under Title 17 USC §512(f), any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents information in a DMCA notice may face civil penalties, including costs and attorney fees.

Please submit all takedown notices through our Contact page, preferably by email for quicker processing.

Note that we may share the identity and details of any copyright infringement claim with the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you consent to the disclosure of your identity and claim information to the alleged infringer.

3. A statement under penalty of perjury affirming that you believe the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification.

Your name, address, and telephone number, along with a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in which the address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which the service provider may be found) and agreeing to accept service of process from the original complainant.
5. Submit your counter-notification through our Contact page, with email preferred.

Repeat Infringer Policy

We take copyright infringement seriously and adhere to the DMCA’s repeat infringer policy. We maintain a record of DMCA notices and make a good faith effort to identify repeat infringers. Accounts of individuals who repeatedly violate our policies may be terminated.
