for our website.
We are committed to responding to any alleged
copyright violations, should they occur. Notice of any
alleged violation should take the form proposed by the U.S.
Digital Millennium Copyright Act as revealed at

Remedy
If any material infringes on the copyright of any
offended party, we may remove the content, prevent access to it,
terminate or block access for those responsible for the content,
and/or any other action deemed appropriate. We may also pass
along record of the incident for documentation and/or publication
by third parties at our discretion.
Not Legal Advice/No
Attorney-Client Relationship
If you believe your rights have been violated, it
can be a serious matter.
This DMCA notice exists solely to effectuate our efforts,
as website owners, to prevent and eliminate infringement on
intellectual property rights.
It is no substitute for the assistance of competent legal
counsel. Other
remedies and action, such as against an internet service provider
(ISP), may exist. You
may wish to seek legal help immediately.
Notification
For your convenience and to speed resolution, notice
of alleged infringement may be tendered via email, using the email
address and/or contact information provided on this website.
We warn that you will be liable for any and all statutory and
common law damages, as well as court costs and attorney fees, if
you falsify a claim that your copyrights have been violated.
Six figure awards have already been granted for bogus complaints,
so seeking the help of competent counsel is advised.
