This policy includes procedures for addressing copyright infringement and complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown requests.

1. Intellectual Property Ownership:
ProjectBIOS respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. All intellectual property rights, including copyrights, trademarks, and patents, associated with the Platform and its contents belong to the Company or its licensors.

4. DMCA Takedown Procedures:
If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent thereof and believe that any content on the Platform infringes upon your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to us. The notice must include the following information:

DMCA takedown notices should be sent to our designated copyright agent at info@ProjectBIOS.com. Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will promptly remove or disable access to the infringing material and notify the user who posted the content of the takedown request.

- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

Counter-notifications should be sent to our designated copyright agent at [contact email]. Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will promptly provide a copy to the complaining party and inform them that the removed material may be restored within 10 business days unless we receive notification from the complaining party that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity.
