How the Company responds to your DMCA Notice
If the Company determines that your Notice is not complete for some reason, we may ask you for additional information so we can evaluate your claim. Once the Company has received a complete and proper notice of claimed copyright infringement that appears to allege a bona fide and good faith claim of copyright infringement, the Company will endeavor to:
- Remove or disable access to the work or works identified in the notice as constituting infringement; and
- Notify the person or entity that provided the allegedly infringing content that the Company has removed or disabled access to the content in response to a bona fide complaint
Please be advised that under the DMCA, you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorney’s fees) if you materially misrepresent that material or activity is infringing. The Company reserves all rights to pursue such abuses and seek to collect all available damages. Consult with an attorney prior to sending a DMCA Notice if you are unsure about whether your content is protected under copyright laws.
