Please note that to be effective, your notification must include the following:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.

  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infrading or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material.

  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.

  • A statement that the complaining party has 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.

Response to Infringement Notices

Upon receipt of a compliant notice of copyright infringement, it is our policy to remove or disable access to the infringing material, to notify the content provider, author, or user that we have removed or disabled access to the material, and that repeat offenders will have their access to the website removed. Our process is designed to ensure that copyright owners' rights are respected while also protecting the freedom of expression and avoiding unjustified takedown of lawful content.
