In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), we will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed using the SecurityForward.com website that are reported to our designated copyright agent.

Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of one, you can report alleged copyright infringements on SecurityForward.com by providing the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material.
• Your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good faith belief 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, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Designated Copyright Agent

Security Forward’s designated copyright agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement can be reached. Please note that only DMCA notices should go to our designated copyright agent. Any other feedback, comments, or other communications should be directed to our customer service department.

Action on Infringement

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, Security Forward will take appropriate actions, which may include the removal of the challenged content from the website and/or termination of the infringer’s account.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed in error or that it does not infringe any copyrights, you may send a counter-notification to our designated agent with the following information:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the content that has been removed and the location where the content appeared before it was removed.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original complaint.

If a counter-notification is received, Security Forward may send a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party, informing them that the removed content may be replaced or no longer removed in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider or the user, the removed content may be replaced or restored in 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification.
