Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that your material has been removed by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our designated agent that includes the following information:

  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 to it 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; and
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

Upon receipt of a counter-notification, we may forward it to the party who submitted the original DMCA complaint. After we send out the counter-notification, the claimant must then notify us within 10 days that they have filed a lawsuit seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity. If we do not receive such notification, we may reinstate the material.

Repeat Infringers

It is our policy to terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights of others.
