• The content is your own original work, or you have explicit permission from the rights holder to submit it.
• Your submission does not infringe the copyright, trademark, patent, or other intellectual property rights of any third party.

2. DMCA Safe Harbor — Notice & Takedown

STEMigoo respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. If you believe that content on this site infringes your copyright, please send a written takedown notice to our designated agent containing all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works are involved).
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, including its URL or sufficient detail for us to locate it.
4. Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you 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.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

3. Counter-Notice Procedure

If content you submitted is removed in response to a takedown notice and you believe the removal was made in error or based on misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our designated agent. A valid counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which your address is located, or if outside the United States, any judicial district in which STEMigoo may be found.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, STEMigoo will forward a copy to the original complainant. The removed content may be restored in 10–14 business days unless the complainant files a court action.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

STEMigoo will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts and submission privileges of users who are found to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.
