If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by ICC SAFETY SOLUTIONS, LLC infringe your copyright, you or your agent may send to ICC SAFETY SOLUTIONS, LLC a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it be blocked. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon ICC SAFETY SOLUTIONS, LLC actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident.

  • An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest;
  • Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
  • Identification of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Site or Service reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your address, telephone number and, if available, your email address;
  • A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
