In accordance with the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(i)), BestFreelanceSites.com has adopted a policy of terminating access for users, contributors, or content providers who are found to be repeat infringers of copyrighted material.

A “repeat infringer” is defined as any user or contributor who has been the subject of two or more valid DMCA takedown notices. Upon determination that a user qualifies as a repeat infringer, we will:

Permanently remove all content submitted by the repeat infringer
Terminate the user’s account and access privileges
Prohibit the user from creating new accounts in the future

Fair use is a legal doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the copyright holder. We always strive to provide proper attribution and credit when using third-party materials under fair use.
