Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent:

To file a counter-notice, content providers, members, and users must provide the following information to the Designated Agent listed below: a statement that the material in question is not infringing or that the content provider, member, or user has the right to post and use it from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent and/or the law.

1. A digital or physical signature from the content provider, member, or user.Removal or disabling of access to a certain piece of material;
2. a description of what that piece of material looked like before it was removed or disabled.
3. There must be a statement from the content provider and/or user that they have a good-faith belief that the material was taken down due to a mistake or misidentification of the material; and the content provider and/or user must provide their contact information as well as a statement that they consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the district in which the content provider’s, member’s or user is located.

It is possible that the Designated Agent, after receiving a counter-notice, may send a copy of it to the original complaining party, indicating that it may replace or discontinue disabling the deleted item within 10 business days. It’s up to the Company to decide whether or not to replace or restore access to withdrawn material after receiving a counter-notice, depending on whether or not the copyright owner files a lawsuit seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user.
