DMCA Takedown Policy

GeeksProgramming respects intellectual property rights and responds to valid takedown notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).

1. What can be subject to a DMCA notice

Material we publish or host that you believe infringes your copyright. GeeksProgramming does not publicly host user-uploaded assignment files; they are transmitted to us by email and not published. If you believe a sample, blog post, or page on our site reproduces material you own, you may submit a notice as described below.

2. How to file a notice

Send a written notice to the designated agent listed in §4. To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), the notice must include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorised agent.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
3. Identification of the material that is allegedly infringing and information sufficient to permit us to locate it (URL).
4. Your contact information (name, address, phone, email).
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner.

3. How we respond

On receipt of a valid notice, we remove or disable access to the material expeditiously, notify the uploader (if applicable), and document the action. If the uploader files a counter-notice that meets the statutory requirements (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)), we will restore access between 10 and 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice, unless we receive notice that the original claimant has filed a court action.

4. Designated agent

Send notices to:

DMCA Designated Agent
WitNip Inc
600 N Broad Street
Middletown, Delaware 19709, United States
Email: help@geeksprogramming.com (subject line: "DMCA Notice")

We are registering the designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2); the official record will be searchable at dmca.copyright.gov once filed.

5. Misuse of the DMCA process

Filing a false or knowingly inaccurate notice is a federal offence (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)) and may result in liability for damages. Submit notices only for material you have a good-faith basis to believe is infringing.
