Your contact information (email required)

A statement that the information in your notice is accurate

Our Response

Upon receiving a valid copyright notice, we will:

Review the claim to determine its validity
Remove content that appears to infringe copyright if required
Keep a record of the request and our actions

Please note that as an educational resource, many of the manuals may qualify for fair use protection under copyright law. We will evaluate each request carefully in this context.
