9. Copyright Complaints

We respect the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law.

  • a physical or electronic signature of the owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner;

  • a statement by you that the information in your notification is accurate, and that you attest under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or that you are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

If you believe that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices with respect to our Digital Tools should be sent to our designated agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement: SYPartners, LLC, Attention: SYPand, 475 Brannan Street, Suite 100, San Francisco, CA 94107.
