This site respects the intellectual property rights of others, and requires that the people who use the site do the same. It is our policy to respond promptly to claims of intellectual property misuse.

If we receive such a claim, we reserve the right to refuse or delete the allegedly infringing content or to terminate a user's account.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") this website has designated an agent to receive notification of alleged copyright infringement on this site. If you believe that your copyrighted work is being infringed, notify our designated agent specified below.

Please note, this agent is for reporting of copyright infringement only and is not authorized to answer requests for copyright permission.

Infringement Claims

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act requires that all infringement claims must be in writing and include the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or the person authorized to act on its behalf;
• A description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• A description of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
• Your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email;
• A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under the pains and penalties of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

After receiving a claim of infringement, we will process and investigate it and take appropriate actions under the DMCA and other applicable intellectual property laws. Upon receipt of notices complying or substantially complying with the DMCA, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to any material claimed to be infringing or claimed to be the subject of infringing activity, and will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to any reference or link to material or activity that is claimed to be infringing. We will take reasonable steps to expeditiously notify the subscriber that it has removed or disabled access to such material.

Upon receipt of a proper counter notification under the DMCA, we will promptly provide the person who provided the initial notification of claimed infringement with a copy of the counter notification and inform that person that it will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days. Additionally, we will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the counter notice, unless our designated agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the initial notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our system or network.

(1) your physical or electronic signature;

(2) 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 to it was disabled, including the full URL;

(3) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;

(4) your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which you will accept service of process from the person who provided the initial notification of infringement.
