12. DMCA Policy
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) provides a process for copyright owners to protect their rights online. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide The Service with a written notice that includes the following information: (i) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and where it is located on The Service; (iv) your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address; (v) a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, The Service will take appropriate action to remove or disable access to the infringing material. Additionally, if you believe that your material has been removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to The Service. A counter-notice must include your name, address, telephone number, and 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. The Service will respond to valid counter-notices in accordance with the DMCA.
The Service is committed to complying with the DMCA and respects the intellectual property rights of others. However, please note that The Service is not liable for any content posted by users and does not have knowledge of infringing material unless it is brought to our attention through a valid DMCA notice.
