Protection of intellectual property is of utmost importance to us, and we , ask our, Users, and their authorized agents to do the same. It is our, policy to expeditiously respond to clear notifications of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998, the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office website.
Before submitting a copyright complaint to us, consider whether the use could be considered fair use. Fair use states that brief excerpts of copyrighted material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder. If you, have considered fair use, and you, still wish to continue with a copyright complaint, you, may want to first reach out to the us, to see if you, can resolve the matter directly with the us.
Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you, may be liable for any damages, including costs, and attorneys’ fees incurred, by us, or our, users, if you, knowingly misrepresent that the Services or activity is infringing.

If you, are concerned about your, information being forwarded, you, may wish to hire an agent to report infringing material for you.
Filing a DMCA complaint is the start of a pre-defined legal process. Your, complaint will be reviewed for accuracy, validity, and completeness. Our, response may include the removal or restriction of access to allegedly infringing Services, as well as a permanent termination of repeat infringers’ accounts.
If we, remove, or restrict access, to Services, or terminate an account in response to a Notification of alleged infringement, we, will make a good faith effort to contact the affected User, with information concerning the removal, or restriction of access, which may include a full copy of your, Notification (including your, name, address, phone, and email address), along with instructions for filing a counter-notification.
A User, who receives a copyright infringement Notification may make a counter-Notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the US Copyright Act.
