Tide-mark does not and will not make any legal decisions about the validity of your claim of infringement. When a clear and valid notice is received pursuant to the guidelines set forth below, Tide-mark will remove allegedly infringing content. Tide-mark may contact the notice provider to request additional information. Under the DMCA, Tide-mark is required to take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the allegedly infringing content (“Alleged Infringer”).

We may publish or share them with third parties in our sole discretion (in addition to producing them pursuant to a subpoena or other legal discovery request). Anyone making a false or fraudulent notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages under the DMCA, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Any person who is unsure whether certain material infringes a copyright held by such person or a third party should contact an attorney.

To file a DMCA notice, the copyright owner must send in a written letter by regular mail. We reserve the right to ignore a notice we judge not to be in compliance with the DMCA.

Identify specifically the copyrighted work(s) believed to have been infringed (for example, “My copyrighted work is the picture that appears at [list location where material is located].”); identify the Content that a copyright owner claims is infringing upon copyrighted work. The copyright owner must provide information reasonably sufficient to enable us to locate the item on the Site. The copyright owner should provide clear screenshots of the allegedly infringing materials for identification purposes only. The information provided should be as detailed as possible; include the following statement: “I have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law”; include the following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed”; be signed; and sent to our office: 207 Oakwood Ave., West Hartford, CT 06119.
