your full name, address and telephone number

your e-mail address

identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you believe is being infringed

identification of the infringing material and information sufficient for us to locate the material

your statement of good faith belief that (a) the material infringes your copyrights, (b) the information provided in the notice is accurate and (c) under penalty of perjury, you are authorized to act for the copyright owner

your physical or electronic signature

Direct such notice to: [email protected]

Upon receipt of notice complying with the above requirements, we will act to remove infringing materials and, if applicable, send notice to the user that posted such materials on the Website.

If we remove materials posted by you as a user due to alleged copyright infringement, you may seek to have the materials reinstated by notifying our designated agent in writing and including the following information:

your physical or electronic signature

Upon receipt of a notice meeting the above requirements, we will send a copy of the notice to the copyright owner who initially claimed copyright infringement. Within 10 to 14 days following receipt of the notice, we will replace or enable access to the removed material unless we receive notice from the copyright owner who submitted the first notification that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user that posted the materials from engaging in infringing activity. Please note that parties who misrepresent that materials are infringing or were removed by mistake or misidentification are subject to substantial civil liability to ourselves and/or the copyright owner or Website user.
