Overview
VettaLux respects the intellectual property of others. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. §512, we will respond to valid takedown notices and counter-notices in the manner described below.
Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.

Filing a Takedown Notice
If you believe content on VettaLux infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Agent that includes:
1. A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, for multiple works, a representative list).
3. Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it — including URLs on VettaLux.
4. Your contact information — name, address, telephone, email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Counter-Notices
If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to the Designated Agent with:
1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed material and its location before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the US, any district in which VettaLux may be found) and that you will accept service from the person who sent the original notice.
On a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not pursue court action within 10–14 business days, we may restore the material.

Repeat Infringers
Accounts that receive three (3) valid DMCA takedowns in any rolling 12-month period will be terminated. We may terminate earlier for egregious cases.
False Notices
Knowingly filing false DMCA notices or counter-notices is subject to penalty of perjury and liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. §512(f).
