Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

Food Warming Equipment Company, Inc. (“FWE”, “Food Warming Equipment Company, Inc.”, “we” or “us”) takes copyright claims seriously.

FWE has registered with the U.S. Copyright Office under the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA”) so that if a copyright owner notifies us that materials on FWE’s website (the “Website”), or linked to FWE’s Website, infringe your copyright, you may request removal of those materials (or removal of access to them) from the Website as set forth below.

You must provide notice and counter-notice to any DMCA claims as set forth herein in compliance with the DMCA. FWE WILL ONLY RESPOND TO NOTICES OF ALLEGED COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT THAT COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAWS.

If we receive a valid notification of alleged copyright infringement, we will remove the materials and take reasonable steps to contact the owner of the removed materials so that the owner can respond with a counter-notification.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will repost the applicable materials unless we receive notice from the original person or entity that provided notice of alleged infringement that a legal action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in the infringing activity within ten (10) business days of receiving the copy of the counter-notice.

We are permitted to share these notifications with others under our Privacy Policy.

Please be aware that if you knowingly, materially misrepresent that any material or activity on the Website: (a) is infringing your copyright; or (b) was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under the DMCA.
