Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Welcome to our website. We value and respect the intellectual property rights of others, and in return, expect the same level of respect for our rights. In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), copyright owners or their agents can submit a takedown notice to us through our listed DMCA Agent. As an internet service provider, we are protected by ‘safe harbor’ provisions of the DMCA from claims of copyright infringement.
