Once proper bona fide infringement notification is received by the designated agent:
Once proper bona fide infringement notification is received by the designated agent, we will promptly investigate the claim and take appropriate action. This may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content. We will also notify the user who posted the content regarding your claim.
PROCEDURE TO SUPPLY A COUNTER-NOTICE TO THE DESIGNATED AGENT:
If we are convinced that the deleted content or the content for which access was restricted does not infringe, or if we assert that we are entitled to share and utilize the content (either via the rights holder, their representative, or under relevant laws like fair use), we will file a counter-notice with the following details to the Designated Agent mentioned below:
- A summary of the content that was taken down or disabled, along with the location (like the URL) where it was displayed on the website prior to being removed or disabled;
- A declaration, made under threat of perjury, affirming our honest belief that the content was taken down or restricted due to an error or misidentification;
- Our contact details, which consist of our complete name, postal address, telephone number, and email address;
- A declaration confirming that we agree to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court in the district where our address is situated;
- Our digital or handwritten signature.
Upon receiving a counter-notice from the Designated Agent, we may forward a copy of the counter-notice to the original complainant, notifying them that we might reinstate the removed content or stop disabling it within 10 business days. If the rights holder does not pursue legal action against us, the content that was removed may be reinstated or access to it restored within 10 to 14 business days, or longer at our option.
Be aware that according to Section 512(f) of the DMCA, anyone who willfully misrepresents that a certain content or action constitutes infringement could face liability for damages and attorney’s fees.
