COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT POLICY

Freelancer respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide Freelancer's Copyright Agent with the information specified below in the form of a "Notification of Alleged Infringement."
