Copyright Policy

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect users of Engineering Framework to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512), we will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the law and are properly submitted to our designated agent. We may remove or disable access to content claimed to be infringing and may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

Designated Agent

Submitting a Takedown Notice

Your written notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail (such as a URL) for us to locate it.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing may make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

Counter-Notification

If you believe material you posted was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the designated agent above containing: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, and telephone number, with consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the United States, any district in which we can be found) and to accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action.
