Sinch Incorporated (“Sinch”) is committed to helping parties protect their intellectual property rights. Under the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), copyright holders have an opportunity to protect their rights in copyrighted content by notifying a service provider about conduct which they believe in good faith to be an infringement of such rights and making a demand that the allegedly infringing content be removed. For your information, We are also using the tradenames, “Sinch”, “CLX”, “CLX Networks” and “CLX Communications”.
