Copyright / DMCA Policy

1. Reporting Claims of Copyright Infringement

We take claims of copyright infringement seriously. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law. If you believe any materials accessible on or from this site (the “Website”) infringe your copyright, you may request removal of those materials (or access to them) from the Website by submitting written notification to our copyright agent designated below. 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 physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works on the Website, a representative list of such works.
• Identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material.
• Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).
• 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.
• A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate.
• 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 the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA Notice may not be effective.

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

3. Counter-Notification (DMCA § 512(g))

If you are a user of the Website and material you posted was removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA Notice, you may submit a written counter-notification to our designated copyright agent identified above. To be effective, your counter-notification must be a written communication that includes substantially the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and 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 as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
• Your name, postal address, and telephone number.
• 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 the United States, for any judicial district in which the Company may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA Notice or an agent of that person.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, the Company may restore the removed or disabled material in not less than 10 nor more than 14 business days following receipt, unless the original complainant first notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

4. Repeat-Infringer Policy (DMCA § 512(i))

It is the Company’s policy, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of, or access by, users who are repeat infringers of the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.
