11. DMCA Policy
The Service respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we have implemented a policy to respond to claims of copyright infringement. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide us with a written notice that includes the following information: a description of the copyrighted work, a description of where the infringing material is located on The Service, your contact information, and a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner.
Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, The Service will take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the infringing material. The Service will also notify the user who posted the material of the claim and provide them with an opportunity to respond. If the user submits a counter-notice asserting that the material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, The Service will review the counter-notice and may restore the material if it determines that the counter-notice is valid.
Safe Harbor: Under the DMCA, service providers may qualify for a 'safe harbor' from liability for infringing material posted by users, provided they comply with certain requirements, including expeditiously removing or disabling access to infringing material upon receiving proper notice. The Service aims to comply with these requirements to maintain its safe harbor status.
Counter-Notices: If you believe that your material was removed or disabled by mistake, you may submit a counter-notice to The Service. Your counter-notice must include your name, address, telephone number, and 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. Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, The Service will restore the material unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the user.
