Take-down procedure

Upon receipt and verification of a notice of infringement, we will remove or disable access to the material in question, at our sole discretion. To the extent possible, we will notify the party that posted the material in writing after removal. Advance notice of removal is generally not possible.

Counter-notice

If you believe material you posted was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notice to the Copyright Agent containing: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the material removed and where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; your name, address and telephone number; and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district in which you are located (or, if outside the United States, any district in which we may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or their agent.

Repeat infringers

We reserve the right to terminate access to any of our websites or services for any party found to be repeatedly infringing copyrights.
