  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.

  • 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 access to it was disabled.

  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith believe that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content.

  • Your name, address, and telephone number (and, if available, email address) and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if your address is located outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement or an agent of such person.

If a counter-notice is received by Yocale’s Copyright Compliance Officer, Yocale 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 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Yocale’s sole discretion.
