Counter-Notice:

If you believe that your material was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our DMCA Agent. The counter-notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if your address is outside of the United States, the jurisdiction of the federal district court in which our website may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the DMCA notice or an agent of such person.

If a counter-notice is received by our DMCA Agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party, informing them that we may replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the user who posted the material, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our discretion.
