Terms of Use Agreement Reporting Claims of Copyright Infringement

We take allegations of copyright infringement seriously and are committed to responding to notices that comply with applicable law. If you believe that materials accessible on or from this site (the “Website”) infringe your copyright, you can request the removal of those materials (or access to them) from the Website by submitting a written notification to our designated Copyright Agent below. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA”), the written notice (the “DMCA Notice”) must include the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, or if the claim involves multiple works on the Website, a representative list of such works.
  3. Identification of the infringing material in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate it (please provide URLs in the body of the email for quick content location).
  4. Adequate contact information for us to reach you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate.
  7. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Failure to comply with all the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA may render your DMCA Notice ineffective.

Please be aware that knowingly materially misrepresenting that material or activity on the Website infringes your copyright may make you liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that material you posted on the site was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us (a “Counter-Notice”) by submitting a written notification to our designated Copyright Agent below. Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter-Notice must include the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled and the location at which the material appeared before removal or access was disabled.
  3. Adequate contact information for us to reach you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).
  4. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
  5. 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 you reside outside the United States, for any judicial district in which the Website may be found) and that you will accept service from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided the Website with the complaint at issue.

The DMCA allows us to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten business days of receiving the copy of your Counter-Notice.

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