Counter-Notification Procedure
If you believe that your content that was removed is not infringing, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to our Copyright Agent:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the content that has been removed and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content.
- Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your locality, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed content in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, the removed content may be replaced in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.
