DMCA Copyright Policy

Submitting a takedown notice

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice that includes all of the following elements (required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

1. 1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
2. 2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, for multiple works on the same site, a representative list).
3. 3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it on the Service — including the URL.
4. 4. Your contact information: full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. 5. 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.
6. 6.A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Notices missing any of these elements may not be actionable. False or misleading notices may carry liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

Designated agent for notices

Send notices to the designated agent:

Email is the fastest channel and we monitor it daily. For a mailing address, request it via email and we'll provide one.

What happens after a valid notice

On receipt of a notice that contains all required elements, we will:

• Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material on the Service.
• Take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted or uploaded the material that it has been removed.
• Forward a copy of the notice to that user, redacting your personal information only where law allows.

Counter-notification

If you are a user whose material has been removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to the designated agent above. Your counter-notification must include:

1. 1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. 2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
3. 3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. 4.Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, for the district in which the Service may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or that person's agent.

On receipt of a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original notifier files a court action seeking a restraining order against the user.

Repeat infringer policy

Accounts that are the subject of repeated valid takedown notices will be terminated. “Repeated” means more than one unrelated valid notice; one mistaken notice followed by a successful counter-notification doesn't count.

Note

This policy describes how we handle notices but is not legal advice. If you are unsure whether a notice or counter-notice is appropriate, consult an attorney before sending it. Filing a knowingly false notice exposes you to liability for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
