DMCA Notice and Takedown Policy
This site respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512, the "DMCA"), we respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. This page explains how to report content you believe infringes your copyright, and how to respond if your content is affected by a takedown.
How do I file a copyright takedown notice?
If you are a copyright owner, or authorised to act on behalf of one, and you believe that material available on this site infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent (below). To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered by a single notice.
- Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — ideally the exact URL(s) on this site.
- Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
Incomplete notices may delay our response. Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.
Where do I send the notice? (Designated agent)?
Send your DMCA notice to the site operator's designated agent by email:
**Email:** [email protected]
This inbox is monitored for copyright matters. Please use it only for DMCA notices and counter-notifications; general questions should go through the contact page.
What happens after you file a notice?
When we receive a valid notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified as infringing. Where appropriate, we will make a reasonable effort to notify the person who posted or is responsible for the material that it has been removed or disabled, so that they may submit a counter-notification if they believe the removal was a mistake.
How do I submit a counter-notification?
If you believe your material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the same designated agent. To be effective, it must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before it was removed.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which the operator may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.
If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the removed material in 10 to 14 business days, unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
What is your policy on repeat infringers?
In appropriate circumstances, and at our discretion, we may limit access, remove content, or otherwise act against users who are repeat infringers of copyright.
Changes to this policy
We may update this DMCA policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law or in our procedures. The current version is always the one published on this page.
