DMCA Policy

Christine Lahti ("we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and is committed to complying with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This policy outlines the procedures for copyright holders to notify us of alleged copyright infringement and for users to respond to such notices.

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via this website, please notify us in accordance with the DMCA by providing the following information.

Filing a DMCA Infringement Notice

To file an effective DMCA notice of infringement, you must provide a written communication that includes substantially the following:

Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed: This includes a description of the copyrighted work, and if available, a copy or the location (e.g., URL) of an authorized version of the work.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing: Provide sufficient detail to allow us to locate the material (e.g., URL of the specific page or post containing the infringing material).
Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party: This includes your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief: A statement that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate: A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
A physical or electronic signature: The signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we will investigate the claim and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the infringing material. We may also notify the alleged infringer of the claim.

Filing a DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe that your material has been removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you have the right to submit a counter-notification. A valid counter-notification must be a written communication that includes substantially the following:

Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled: This includes the URL(s) where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
Your name, address, telephone number, and email address: Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you.
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court: A statement for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Christine Lahti may be found.
A statement that you will accept service of process: A statement from the person who provided the original notification of infringement.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief: A statement that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward a copy to the original complaining party. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user, the removed material may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification.
