DMCA Policy

Our Commitment to Copyright

The Intimate Guide ("TIG") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our Site to do the same. We respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512) and similar international copyright laws.

This policy describes our procedures for receiving and responding to copyright infringement notices and counter-notices.

4. Notify the user who posted the content (where applicable) and provide them a copy of the takedown notice

We may take action without prior notice to users when required by law.

What Happens After a Counter-Notice

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will:

1. Forward the counter-notice to the original complainant

If we receive notice that the original complainant has filed a court action within that period, we will not restore the material. If no such notice is received, we may restore the material.
