DMCA Policy – ABC ID Card
At ABC ID Card, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and are committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

1. Introduction to the DMCA
The DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides a “safe harbor” for online service providers, such as ABC ID Card, from liability for infringing content uploaded by users, provided that the service provider follows a notice-and-takedown system. Under this system, copyright owners can notify service providers of infringing content, and the service provider must act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material.
