Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Welcome to our website (the ‘Site’). We value the intellectual property rights of others just as we expect others to respect our rights. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a copyright owner or their representative can send us a notice to remove infringing material from our website. As an internet service provider, we are protected by the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA against claims of copyright infringement.

- Contact information of the copyright owner for communication purposes;
- A statement confirming the unauthorized use of the material;
- A statement expressing the accuracy of the claim and the authorization of the complaining party to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please send all takedown notices via email for swift action.
Note that we may disclose the identity and information of any copyright infringer to the alleged party. By submitting a claim, you agree to this disclosure.
