Policy on Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Greetings to all visitors to this website (referred to as the ‘Site’). Our team values and respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the same in return. In accordance with the regulations outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512(c), any copyright owner or their authorized representative can issue a takedown notice to our designated DMCA Agent as listed below. As a provider of internet services, we hold the right to claim immunity from allegations of copyright infringement through the “safe harbor” clause of the DMCA.

Notice of Copyright Infringement

- Identification of the copyrighted material that has allegedly been infringed;
- Details regarding the infringing content for removal, including the URL for easy identification;

- A statement affirming that the complainant believes the material’s use is unauthorized by the copyright holder;

All takedown requests must be directed through the Contact page, preferably via email for prompt action.
Kindly note that we might disclose the identity and details of any copyright infringement claimant to the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you acknowledge and consent to the communication of your information with the accused party.
