How to Send a Counternotice If Your Posting Was Removed in Response to a Notice
of Infringement and You Believe the Posting Is Not Infringing
As explained above, if we receive a notice of infringement sent to our
designated agent with the information described above, we will expeditiously
remove or block access to the material that is claimed to be infringing. We will
also send a notification to the user who posted the material, at the email
address provided by the user in connection with his or her account with us,
telling the user that the material was removed or access to it was blocked
because of claimed infringement.
If you are a user who posted material that was removed in response to a notice
of infringement and you believe that material was removed due to mistake or
misidentification, you may request that we replace the posting by sending us a
counternotice as follows:
You must send the counternotice to our designated agent for receiving notices of
infringement, whose name and contact information is above.
Your counternotice must be a written communication sent and must include
substantially the following information:
(1) A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber (you the user).
(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 the user has 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) The user’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the
user consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial
district in which the address is located, or if the user’s address is outside of
the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may
be found, and that the user will accept service of process from the person who
provided notification of copyright infringement or an agent of such person.
When we receive a counternotice that complies with these requirements, we
reserve the right, but not the obligation, to restore the material that was
removed after forwarding a copy of the counternotice to the person who sent the
notice of infringement and waiting at least 10 business days. If, during those
10 business days, the person who sent the original notice of infringement
notifies us that such person has instituted a suit to seek a court order to
restrain the user from infringing activity relating to the material on our
website, we will not replace the material. Otherwise, we may repost the material
at our discretion. However, pursuant to the Terms of Use Agreement, we retain
the right to remove, block access to, or not restore material at any time for
any reason without any liability to the posting user. In particular, a user who
sends a counternotice pursuant to this Copyright Compliance Policy expressly
acknowledges and agrees that we shall not be liable to the user under any
circumstances for declining to replace material.
WE CAUTION YOU THAT IF YOU KNOWINGLY MISREPRESENT THAT ONLINE CONTENT IS NOT
INFRINGING, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO HEAVY CIVIL PENALTIES. THESE INCLUDE MONETARY
DAMAGES, COURT COSTS, AND ATTORNEYS FEES INCURRED BY US, BY ANY COPYRIGHT OWNER,
OR BY ANY COPYRIGHT OWNER'S LICENSEE THAT IS INJURED AS A RESULT OF OUR RELYING
UPON YOUR MISREPRESENTATION. YOU MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION FOR
PERJURY.
Repeat Infringer Policy
We have a policy of terminating the accounts of repeat infringers. A repeat
infringer includes any user who has made two or more Postings for which we
receive a notice of infringement under this Copyright Compliance Policy. Each
user agrees that if his or her account is terminated pursuant to this Copyright
Compliance Policy, the user will not attempt to establish a new account under
any name, real or assumed, and further agrees that if the user violates this
restriction by opening a new account after being terminated pursuant to this
Copyright Compliance Policy, the user shall indemnify and hold us harmless for
any and all liability that we may incur therefore.
