Counter Notification Procedures

If you believe your own copyrighted material has been removed from our website and/or service as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written Counter Notification to our Designated Agent pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2) and (3). To be an effective Counter Notification under the DMCA, your Counter Notification should include substantially the following:

  1. Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  2. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in which your address is located, or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found.
  3. A statement that you will accept service of process from the party that filed the Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement or the party's agent.
  4. Your name, address and telephone number.
  5. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Submit your Counter Notification to our Designated Agent by fax, mail, or email as set forth below:
