12. DMCA
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) provides a mechanism for copyright owners to protect their works from infringement. Under the DMCA, The Service will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA.

The notification must include specific information as outlined in the DMCA, including a description of the copyrighted work, a description of the infringing material, and your contact information.
Safe Harbor: The DMCA provides a 'safe harbor' provision that protects online service providers from liability for infringing content uploaded by users, provided that the service provider acts expeditiously to remove or disable access to the infringing material upon receiving proper notice. The Service adheres to this safe harbor provision and will take appropriate action when notified of infringing content.
Counter-Notices: If you believe that your material was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to The Service. The counter-notice must include specific information as outlined in the DMCA, and upon receipt, The Service will investigate the claim and may restore the material if the counter-notice complies with the DMCA.
Liabilities: Please be aware that under the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees incurred by The Service or the alleged infringer.
