Failure to include all of the above information, especially specific information about where infringing content may be found, will result in a delay in the processing of your DMCA notification of claimed infringement and may result in your having to repeat some or all of the above process.

Removal of Allegedly Infringing Materials:

If we receive notice of claimed copyright infringement in a manner that complies with the above requirements and the DMCA, we will respond expeditiously by removing, or disabling access to, the User Content that is claimed to be infringing, as described below, or to be the subject of infringing activity. We will also comply with the appropriate provisions of the DMCA in the event a counter-notification is received, as described below. We may, at our discretion, deny access to the Service by, or disable and/or terminate the Accounts of, users who may have infringed the copyright(s) of others.

Counter-Notice to Notices of Claimed Copyright Infringement:

Please note that, under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability. Please also be advised that ween force a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the Accounts of (or access privileges by) users who are infringers. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain User Content infringes your copyright or the copyrights of others, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

Please note that, when we forward the counter-notification, it includes any of your Personal Information set forth in the counter-notification. By submitting a counter-notification, you consent to having such Personal Information revealed in this way. We will not forward the counter-notification to any party other than the original claimant except as required by Applicable Law or to enforce our rights under these Terms of Use or Applicable Law. After we send out the counter-notification, the claimant must then notify us within ten (10) days that he or she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to your User Content or other material on the Service. If we receive such notification, we will be unable to restore the items. If we do not receive such notification, we may, but are not obligated to, reinstate the disputed item(s).

If you reside outside of the United States of America, please understand that filing a counter-notice may lead to legal proceedings between you and the complaining party to determine ownership of the copyrighted material that is subject to the notice of claimed infringement. Be aware that there may be adverse legal consequences in your country and/or the United States of America if you make a false or bad faith allegation by using this process. Please also be advised that we enforce a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of access privileges for users who are infringers. So, if you are not sure whether User Content you posted on or through the Service is being infringed, or are otherwise unsure of whether to file a counter-notification using these procedures, we strongly recommend you first contact a lawyer knowledgeable in the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York. If you do wish to file a counter-notice, you should follow the process for counter-notifications set forth above.
