EU Copyright Directive

This agreement was last modified on .

We respect the intellectual property rights of others, just as we expect others to respect our rights. Under the EU Copyright Directive (Directive 2019/790) and the E-Commerce Directive (Directive 2000/31/EC), a copyright owner or their representative may send us a removal notice through our copyright agent listed below. As a hosting service provider, we are entitled to claim liability limitations under the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the E-Commerce Directive. To file a good faith infringement claim with us, you must send us a notice containing the following information:

Infringement Notice – Claim

• Identification of the copyrighted work allegedly infringed;
• Identification of the infringing material to be removed and information sufficient to enable the service provider to locate the material. [Please provide the URL of the relevant page to help us identify the allegedly infringing work];
• Information sufficient to enable the service provider to contact the complaining party, including your name, address, email address, and phone number;
• A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized; and
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Counter-Notice – Material Restoration

If you have received a notice of material removal due to a copyright infringement claim, you may send us a counter-notice to achieve restoration of the material on the website. This notice must be provided in writing to our copyright agent and must contain essentially the following elements in accordance with the EU Copyright Directive:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• A description of the material that was removed and the original location of the material before it was removed.
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
