DMCA PROVISIONS.

Under the DMCA, the bona fide owner of copyrighted materials who has a good faith belief that their copyright has been infringed may contact not only the person or entity infringing on their copyright, but may also contact the designated agent of an Internet service provider to report alleged infringements of their protected works, when such alleged infringements appear on pages contained within the system of the Internet service provider (“ISP”).

The owner of this website & the ISP are committed to complying with international trade law, international trade practices, all United States laws, including United States copyright law. Upon receipt of a properly filed complaint under the DMCA, the owner & or the ISP of this website will block access to the allegedly infringing material.

The website owner & or the ISP will forward a copy of the notification of claimed copyright infringement to the alleged infringer. Anyone who believes in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has wrongfully been filed against them, may submit a counter-notice to the website owner & or the ISP.

Please send DMCA notifications of claimed copyright infringement to:

THE WEBSITE OWNER

To file a notice of infringement with either the website owner or the ISP, you must provide a written communication that sets forth the items specified below. You will be liable for damages (including damages, costs, & attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that the website or a web page is infringing your copyright.

Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material of yours is protected by copyright laws, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

To expedite our ability to process your request, please use the following format (including section numbers):

Section 1. Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed upon.

Section 2. Identify the material that you claim is infringing the copyrighted work listed in section #1 above. (You must include the URL(s) (the location(s) of the page(s) that contains the allegedly infringing material & also include a description of the specific content which you claim is infringing on your copyright.)

If you have a good faith belief that you have been wrongfully accused, you may file a counter-notification with the website owner & or the ISP. If website owner & or the ISP receives a valid counter-notification, the DMCA provides that the removed or blocked information will be restored or access re-enabled.

The website owner & or the ISP will replace the removed material & cease disabling access to it in not less than 10, not more than 14, business days following receipt of the counter-notification, unless the website owner & or ISP first receives notice from the complaining party that such complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on this website.

Please be advised that United States copyright law provides substantial penalties for a false counter-notice filed in response to a notice of copyright infringement. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material of yours is protected by copyright laws, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.
