In line with Title 17, United States Code, Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a copyright holder or their agent may submit a take-down request to us using the DMCA Agent listed below (c). According to the DMCA’s “safe harbour” rules, as an internet service provider we are exempt from such infringement accusations. To register a claim of good faith infringement with us, you must send us a notification containing the following details:
