Upon receipt of a valid and complete notice, we will investigate the matter and remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. We will also notify the user who posted the material and provide them with an opportunity to submit a counter-notification, if applicable.

Please note that we will not be able to take any action on your counter-notification unless we receive it within 10 business days of our DMCA Agent’s receipt of the original notification of claimed infringement. If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may reinstate the removed or disabled material in accordance with the DMCA.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others.
