Other 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 the U.S. copyright law.

Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon Company actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send to Company a counter-notice. All notices and counter notices must meet the then current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf for details. Company’s Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement or counter notices can be reached as follows: sara@saraoblakspeicher.com This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Sara Oblak Speicher Enterprises, Inc. and our respective assigns, successors, heirs, and legal representatives.
