How to Give US Notification of a Claim of Copyright Infringement
To provide VPM with notification of a claimed copyright infringement, you must send a written communication to VPM's DMCA Agent at the address provided below. The written notification must include the following information:

1. The signature (either physical or electronic) of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighting work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on that site.
3. Identification of the material that you claim is infringing or is the subject of infringing activity and that you wish to have removed or to have access disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material (such as the URL where the material is located).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. Please be aware that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability pursuant to Section 512(f) of the DMCA and for resulting damages, costs, and attorneys' fees. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material on our website infringes your copyrights, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the written notification is accurate, and that the party submitting the notification is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

How VPM addresses Contested Infringement Claims
Upon receipt of a counter-notification from the party accused of infringement or infringing activity, VPA will forward a copy of the counter-notification to the party who submitted the original notification alleging copyright infringement. Please note that by submitting a counter-notification, you consent to having your personal information revealed to the party who filed the original notification. If the party who filed the original copyright infringement notification notifies us within ten (10) days of our receipt of your counter-notification that he, she, or it has filed an action seeking a court order against you with respect to the subject matter of the copyright infringement notification, we are not permitted to restore the material to our website. If VPM does not receive such notice, we may reinstate the material.
