We take claims of copyright infringement seriously. If you believe that any copyrighted material owned by you has been infringed upon by someone using the Website, you may request removal of those materials from the Website by submitting written notification to our Copyright Agent at [email protected]. In accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA”), the written notice (the “DMCA Notice”) must include substantially the following:

 

  • Your name.
  • The name and description of the work that is being infringed.
  • Identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material.
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).

  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

 

If you fail to comply with all of these requirements, your DMCA Notice may not be effective. Additionally, if you knowingly misrepresent that material or activity on the Website is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

 

It is our policy in appropriate circumstances to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

If the Website contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your convenience only.
