DMCA & Copyright Notice

At Plate Saga, we respect the rights of creators and expect the same from our visitors. In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), copyright owners or authorized representatives may submit valid takedown notices to our designated DMCA Agent.

As a service provider, we follow the DMCA’s “safe harbor” provisions, which limit our liability for copyright infringement claims when we act in accordance with the law.

  6. Accuracy Statement – A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

⚠️ Important: Submitting false claims knowingly may result in penalties under Title 17 USC §512(f), including damages and legal fees.

By submitting a notice, you understand that your information, including contact details, may be shared with the alleged infringer.
