Copyright 

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under the U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Live UTI Free Ltd infringe your copyright, you, or your agent may send to Live UTI Free Ltd a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it be blocked. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorised to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon Live UTI Free Ltd actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. 

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send to Live UTI Free Ltd a counter-notice. All notices and counter notices must meet the then current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. Live UTI Free Ltd’ Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement or counter notices can be reached via our contact form.

At Live UTI Free Ltd we strive for gender inclusive language and we aim to get this right wherever we can. Our site and the information on it are designed to be universally clear and friendly, with all users in mind. We acknowledge that because of our belief in evidence based information, much of our content is based on studies and research papers that specifically refer to 'women.' When we directly reference external information, we use the language provided, to preserve accuracy of the information. This includes quotes directly from practitioners and people who have experienced recurrent UTIs.

In all other cases, we hope to be as inclusive as is within our power. If you think we can do better, please let us know, we are happy to consider advice on this topic!
