Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)

This Digital Millennium Copyright Act policy ("DMCA Policy") applies to the Garo Dictionary website and its related services. It explains how we respond to copyright infringement notifications and how copyright owners or their authorized agents may report material that they believe infringes their copyright.

Protection of intellectual property is important to Garo Dictionary. We respect the rights of copyright owners and expect our users and contributors to do the same. We will make reasonable efforts to respond promptly to valid copyright infringement notifications that comply with applicable legal requirements.

What to Consider Before Submitting a Copyright Complaint

Before submitting a copyright complaint, copyright owners should consider whether the use of the material may be permitted under applicable copyright law, including exceptions such as fair use or fair dealing where applicable.

Fair use or similar copyright exceptions may allow limited use of copyrighted material for purposes such as criticism, comment, teaching, research, scholarship, news reporting, or other purposes permitted by law.

If you are unsure whether material is infringing, you may wish to seek independent legal advice before submitting a copyright complaint.

Please also be aware that a copyright complaint may require you to provide personal information. If you have concerns about providing personal information, you may wish to have an authorized representative submit the complaint on your behalf.

Notifications of Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent and believe that material available through Garo Dictionary infringes your copyright, you may submit a written copyright infringement notification through our Contact Us page.

To help us process your complaint efficiently, your notification should clearly identify the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed and the material on our website that you believe infringes that work.

Where applicable, a copyright infringement notification should include information such as:

• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
• Identification of the material that is allegedly infringing.
• Information sufficient to allow us to locate the material on the website.
• Your contact information.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate.
• Your electronic or physical signature, where required.

Review of Copyright Complaints

Copyright complaints received by Garo Dictionary may be reviewed for accuracy, validity, and completeness.

If a complaint appears to satisfy the applicable requirements, we may take appropriate action, which may include removing or restricting access to the allegedly infringing material.

We may also contact the person responsible for the material and provide information concerning the complaint where appropriate.

Counter-Notifications

If material has been removed or access has been restricted because of a copyright complaint, the affected user may have certain rights to submit a counter-notification under applicable copyright law.

A counter-notification should explain why the material was removed or restricted in error or why the use of the material is authorized.

If you are unsure whether you should submit a counter-notification, you may wish to seek independent legal advice.

Repeat Copyright Infringement

Garo Dictionary may take appropriate action against users or contributors who repeatedly submit or publish material that infringes the copyrights of others.

Depending on the circumstances, such action may include removing content, restricting access, or terminating access to certain website features.

User-Submitted Content

If users submit corrections, examples, translations, vocabulary, articles, images, or other material to Garo Dictionary, they are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights or permission to submit that material.

Users should not knowingly submit copyrighted material belonging to another person or organization without appropriate authorization.

Misuse of the Copyright Complaint Process

Copyright complaints should only be submitted when the person making the complaint has a legitimate copyright concern.

Knowingly submitting false or misleading copyright claims may have legal consequences. Garo Dictionary reserves the right to take appropriate action in response to fraudulent or abusive complaints.
