Copyright infringement notice

How to report unauthorized use of your copyrighted material

If you believe your copyrighted work has been posted on this site (the "Website") without your permission, you may submit a copyright infringement notification by submitting a 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. § 512) ("DMCA"), the written notice ("DMCA notice") must include substantially the following:

• The physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works on our Website, a representative list of such works.
• Identification of the material you believe to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate that material.
• Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail 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 are reporting the content of a post, please give us a direct link to that post and specify which portion of the post you claim is infringing.

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

Please know that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including attorneys’ fees and costs) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA. Consulting with a lawyer is therefore recommended before submitting a DMCA notice.

What to do if you believe your material should not have been removed

If you believe that material you posted on our 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 the Copyright Agent (designated below). Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter-Notice must include substantially 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.
• Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address).
• A statement under penalty of perjury by you 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 from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided the Website with the complaint at issue.

The DMCA allows us to restore within ten to fourteen days the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten business days of receiving the copy of your Counter-Notice (which we will provide to that party).

Please know that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including attorneys’ fees and costs) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA. Consulting with a lawyer is therefore recommended before submitting a Counter-Notice.
