DMCA / Copyright Policy

Our commitment

We take copyright seriously and do not tolerate infringement on our Service. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and similar laws, we will respond promptly to properly submitted notices and will remove or disable access to material that is found to be infringing. We also reserve the right to remove content and terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the rights of others.

Filing a copyright infringement notice

If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that material on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our designated agent that includes all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with enough detail (such as a direct URL or title) for us to locate it on the Service;
4. Your contact information, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

What happens after we receive a notice

Once we receive a valid notice, we will remove or disable access to the material in question and make a reasonable effort to notify the user who provided it. The user may submit a counter-notification if they believe the material was removed in error.

Submitting a counter-notification

If you believe your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send our designated agent a written counter-notification that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal;
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and will accept service of process from the party that filed the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the removed material unless the original complainant files a court action within the time allowed by law.

Repeat infringers

It is our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers.

Misrepresentations

Please note that under the DMCA, any person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notification may be liable for damages. If you are unsure whether material infringes your rights, you may wish to consult an attorney before submitting a notice.
