Policy on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Welcome to our website (referred to as the ‘Site’). We value and respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect the same respect for our rights. In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), copyright owners or their representatives can submit a takedown notice to us through our designated DMCA Agent.
