DMCA Copyright Policy
Vanguard (referring to the entity formed by "Vanguard Acquires Bmo") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same.

This policy outlines the procedures for submitting a copyright infringement notice and for filing a counter-notification.
It is Vanguard's policy to expeditiously remove content that infringes upon the copyright rights of others upon receipt of a proper DMCA notification. We reserve the right to remove any content without prior notice, at our sole discretion.
Filing a Copyright Infringement Notice (DMCA Takedown Notice)
