Reporting claims of copyright infringement

We take claims of copyright infringement seriously and will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law. If you believe any material accessible on or from the Website infringes your copyright, you may request removal of that material, or of access to it, by submitting written notification to our designated copyright agent below. In accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 (“DMCA”), the written notice (the “DMCA Notice”) must include substantially the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works on the Website, a representative list of those works.
• Identification of the material you believe to be infringing, in a manner sufficiently precise to allow us to locate it.
• Adequate information by which we can contact you, including your name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, email address.
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter Notice must include substantially the following:

• 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, of any judicial district in which the Website may be found, and that you will accept service from the person who provided the DMCA Notice, or an agent of that person.

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

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, under section 512(f) of the DMCA.
