As per the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), copyright owners or their agents can submit a takedown notice to us through our DMCA Agent provided below. Being an internet service provider, we are eligible to seek immunity from such infringement claims as per the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. For submission of a genuine infringement claim to us, it is essential to provide a notice encompassing the following details:

Notice of Infringement – Claim

  2. Identification of the copyrighted work that is claimed to be infringed;
  3. Identification of the infringing material that needs to be removed, including information sufficiently allowing the service provider to locate the material. [Please provide the URL of the specific page to assist us in identifying the purportedly offending work];

  6. A statement confirming the accuracy of the information in the notification and, under the threat of perjury, confirming that the complainant has the authority to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Title 17 USC §512(f) provides for civil damage penalties, inclusive of costs and attorney fees, against any individual who knowingly and substantially misrepresents particular information in a notification of infringement under 17 USC §512(c)(3).
