Legal Framework

This DMCA Policy is in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), and other applicable international copyright laws and regulations.

The Site cannot and does not make determinations about whether a particular material is infringing – such determinations must be made by courts of law.

If you believe that your work has been copied on our Site in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you must provide a written notification containing the following elements as required by Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;

– Within 3 business days, remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content
– Take reasonable steps to promptly notify the content provider of the removal in accordance with Section 512(g)(2) of the DMCA
– Implement appropriate measures to prevent repeat infringement as required by Section 512(i)(1)(A) of the DMCA

PLEASE NOTE: Our removal of content is not an admission of infringement or a legal determination. We are simply complying with the DMCA process as an intermediary service provider.
