Policy Regarding the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Welcome to our website (referred to as the ‘Site’). We value the intellectual property rights of others as much as we value our own. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512(c), a copyright holder or their representative may send us a takedown notice through our designated DMCA Agent. As an internet service provider, we are able to claim immunity from claims of infringement under the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. To submit a legitimate claim of infringement, you must provide us with the following information:
Informing Us About Infringement
