Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below (a
“Notification”). A copy of your
Notification will be sent to the person who posted or stored the material
addressed in the Notification. Please be
advised that pursuant to federal law you may be held liable for damages if you

that material located on or linked to by the Site infringes your copyright, you
should consider first contacting an attorney.
All Notifications
should meet the requirements of DMCA 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) and include the
following information: (1) A physical or electronic signature of a person
authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is
allegedly infringed; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have

to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate
the material; (4) information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the
complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an
email address at which the complaining party may be contacted; (5) a statement
that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in
the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent,
or the law; and (6) a statement that the
information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that
the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed upon.
If you believe
your own copyrighted material has been removed from the Site as a result of a
mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter notification to
[us/our Designated Copyright Agent] using the contact information provided

misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and (6) your

valid, written Counter Notification meeting the requirements described above,
we will restore your removed or disabled material, unless we first receive
notice from the party filing the Notification informing us that such party has
filed a court action to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity
related to the material in question. Please note that if you materially
misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or
misidentification, you may be liable for damages, including costs and
attorney's fees. Filing a false Counter Notification constitutes perjury.
