Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
We respect the intellectual property rights of others just as we expect others to respect our rights.
Pursuant to Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), a copyright
owner or their agent may submit a takedown notice to us via our DMCA Agent listed below. As an
internet service provider, we are entitled to claim immunity from said infringement claims pursuant to
the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. To submit a good faith infringement claim to us, you must
submit notice to us that sets forth the following information:
Notice of Infringement – Claim
1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner (or someone authorized to act on behalf of
the owner);
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
3. Identification of the infringing material to be removed, and information reasonably sufficient to
permit the service provider to locate the material. [Please submit the URL of the page in question to
assist us in identifying the allegedly offending work];
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party
including your name, physical address, email address, phone number and fax number;
5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that the use of the material is
unauthorized by the copyright agent; and
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that
the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Title 17 USC §512(f) provides civil damage penalties, including costs and attorney fees, against any
person who knowingly and materially misrepresents certain information in a notification of infringement
under 17 USC §512(c)(3).
Send all takedown notices through our Contact page. Please send by email for prompt attention.

receive with the alleged infringer. In submitting a claim, you understand accept and agree that your
identity and claim may be communicated to the alleged infringer.
