Owners of copyrighted works who believe that their rights under copyright law have been infringed may take advantage of certain provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) to report alleged infringements. The Project Pets does not, and will not, make any legal decisions about the validity of your claim of infringement or the possible defenses to a claim.

Under the DMCA, The Project Pets is required to take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the allegedly infringing content.

If you are uncertain whether particular material infringes a copyright held by you or a third party, you should contact an attorney.

To be effective, your Notification of Claimed Infringement must be in writing, sent to our designated agent listed below and contain the following information:

An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed; A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located to permit us to locate the material; Your contact information, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address; A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law; and A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the information contained in your report is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.
