Notice for Claims of Intellectual Property Violations and Agent for Notice

 

The Operator respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. The Operator abides by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) by responding to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable laws. Inappropriate circumstances and at the Operator’s sole discretion, that response may include removing, disabling, and/or terminating access to material residing on the Website that is claimed to be infringing, in which case the Operator will make a good-faith attempt to contact the person who submitted the affected material so that they may make a counter-notification, also in accordance with the DMCA.

 

If you believe that your work has been copied on this website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, please provide the Operator with the following information:

Reasonably sufficient details to enable us to identify the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed.

 

A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on this website, with enough detail that we may find it on this website.

 

Your contact information so that we can contact you (including your name, address, telephone number, and email address);

A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material identified above is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;

 

A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is alleged to be infringed; and

 

The electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest.

 

If the material that you have posted to this website has been taken down in response to a claim of copyright or other intellectual property infringement, you may send the Operator a counter-notification containing the following details:

 

Reasonably sufficient details to enable us to identify the material that has been removed to which access has been disabled, together with the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.

​

A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification of the material in question.

 

Your contact information so that we can contact you (including your name, address, telephone number, and email address).

A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located or, if your address is outside of the USA, in any judicial district in which the Operator may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted a notice in compliance with the section (c)(1)(C) of the DMCA, as generally described above; and

 

Your physical or electronic signature.

 

Before serving either a Notice of Infringing Material or Counter-Notification, you may wish to contact a lawyer to better understand your rights and obligations under the DMCA and other applicable laws. These notice requirements are intended to comply with the Operator’s rights and obligations under the DMCA and, in particular, 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), and do not constitute or act as a substitute for legal advice.
