Counter-Notice to a Notice to the Company of Alleged Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your Third Party Submission that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing any copyright, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content in your Third Party Submission, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Company’s Copyright Agent:

• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and
• Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of Texas in the United States of America, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Company’s Copyright Agent, the Company may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten (10) business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, at the Company’s sole discretion, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice.
