Reporting Claims of Copyright Infringement

We take claims of copyright infringement seriously. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law. If you believe any materials accessible on or from this site (the "Website") infringe your copyright, you may request removal of those materials (or access to them) from the Website by submitting written notification to our copyright agent designated below. In accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. ยง 512) ("DMCA"), the written notice (the "DMCA Notice") must include 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 such works.
  • Identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material.
  • Your contact information (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.

If you fail to comply with all the requirements of a written notice under the DMCA, your DMCA Notice may not be effective.

Please be aware that if you knowingly misrepresent that the material or activity on the Website is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under the DMCA.

Upon receiving a compliant DMCA Notice, we will review the Notice and take appropriate action, which may include the removal of alleged infringing materials or disabling access to the materials via the Website.  In such cases, we will send a notification to the person who posted the material on the Website to inform him/her of our action.  A person who, in good faith, believes the material should not have been removed or access to the material should not have been disabled, may file a Counter-Notification according to the procedures outlined below.

Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that the material you posted on the Website was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us (a "Counter-Notice") by submitting written notification to our copyright agent designated below.  Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter-Notice must include the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • An identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access disabled.
  • Your contact information (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).
  • Your statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • A statement that you will 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, for any judicial district in which the Website may be found) and that you will accept service of a filed court action from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided the Website with the complaint at issue.

The DMCA allows us to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice (alleged copyright owner) does not file a court action against you within ten business days of receiving the copy of your Counter-Notice.
Please be aware that if you knowingly misrepresent that the material or activity on the Website was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under the DMCA.
