If you suspect there is any copyright infringement on the Website, please contact us as soon as possible at the email address provided at the end of these Terms.

Copyright owners or a person authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner, may report claims of copyright infringement to us by sending a DMCA notice of alleged infringement including the following information: (1) the signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are on a single site, a representative list of such works; (3) identification of the infringing material or activity (or the reference or link to such material) and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (or the reference or link); (4) contact information for the copyright owner or authorized agent; (5) a statement that the person sending the notice 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; and (6) a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the person sending the notice is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner. For DMCA notices to be valid, they must comply with all requirements above. For a DMCA notice template and full information regarding the DMCA, please see www.copyright.gov. DMCA notices must be sent to our DMCA Designated Agent listed at www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory. Upon receipt of any properly filed DMCA notice, we will expeditiously follow procedures required by the DMCA to: (1) remove or disable access to the infringing material; and (2) notify the copyright holder accordingly.
