Policy Regarding Chattanooga.com Copyright Infringement and DMCA Notices:
Our company is fully committed to upholding the rights of intellectual property owners in strict accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), which can be accessed on the U.S. Copyright Office website.
Should you perceive that your copyright has been violated on the Chattanooga website, referred to henceforth as "the Site", we encourage you to promptly inform our appointed Copyright Agent, whose contact information can be found below. As soon as your notice of alleged copyright infringement-detailed as per the guidelines below-is received, Chattanooga will evaluate and react expeditiously and appropriately, which may include the removal of the disputed content from the Site.
Please note that filing a DMCA notice necessitates your compliance with all of the stipulations outlined below. If Chattanooga identifies that additional information is required to finalize your DMCA notice, your swift provision of said information is expected.
