Takedown Procedure

We take copyright infringement very seriously. Upon receipt of a notice alleging copyright infringement, we will take the following steps:

Review of the Complaint: We will review the complaint to determine whether it complies with the requirements of the DMCA. If we find that the complaint does not comply with the DMCA, we will promptly notify you.
Removal of Content: If we determine that the complaint is valid, we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content.
Notification to the User: We will notify the user that provided the allegedly infringing content that we have removed or disabled access to that content.
Opportunity to Respond: The user that provided the allegedly infringing content will have an opportunity to respond to the complaint. If the user believes that the content is not infringing, the user may submit a counter-notification to us with a statement made under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed because of misidentification or mistake.
Restoration of Content: If a counter-notification is received, we may, at our discretion, send a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party, informing them that the removed content may be replaced or restored in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, the removed content may be replaced or restored in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification.
