Our Policy

Carolina Celebration responds promptly to valid copyright infringement notices and will investigate each claim in accordance with applicable copyright law, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

If a claim is determined to be valid, the allegedly infringing material may be removed or disabled while the matter is reviewed.

Submitting false or misleading copyright claims may result in legal liability.
