Procedure Following a Valid DMCA Notification

We recognize the importance of protecting intellectual property and strictly adhere to the processes outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). When we receive a properly formatted and valid DMCA takedown request, we are obligated by law to act swiftly to remove or disable access to the identified content. This action is taken without delay, ensuring compliance with applicable copyright legislation and preventing potential liabilities.

As part of our commitment to transparency and due process, we may provide a full copy of the DMCA complaint—including your name, physical address, email, and phone number—to the user who originally uploaded the material. This enables the alleged infringer to understand the claim made against them and to determine whether to issue a counter-notice in response.

If you are the user whose content has been removed and you believe the takedown was based on an error or misidentification, you have the right under the DMCA to submit a counter-notification. This formal response must contain all of the following elements to be considered valid:

1. A description of the material that has been removed or disabled, along with the location where it previously appeared before removal (such as a URL or site path);
2. Your full legal name and accurate contact information, including street address, telephone number, and a functioning email address;
3. A statement under penalty of perjury affirming your sincere belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of error or misidentification;
4. A declaration of consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court where you reside, or if you are located outside the United States, to a judicial district in which the service provider may be found;
5. Your signature—either handwritten or electronic—which serves as a confirmation of the truth and validity of your claim.

We take DMCA requests seriously and ensure that all submissions, whether takedown or counter-notification, are handled with fairness and in accordance with the law.
