Counter notification to Claimed Copyright Infringement

If a copyright infringement notice has been wrongly filed against you as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the material, you may file a counter notification with our Designated Agent. The counter notification must provide the following information:

Physical or electronic signature of the subscriber;
Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
The subscribers name, address, telephone number and email address, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber's address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification or an agent of such person.
ThemeDe will terminate all account holders and subscribers who are repeat infringers of intellectual property laws.

Notice and Takedown Procedure

It is expected that all users of any part of the ThemeDe's communication system will comply with applicable copyright laws. However, if ThemeDe's Designated Agent is notified of claimed copyright infringement, or otherwise becomes aware of facts and circumstances from which infringement is apparent, ThemeDe will comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act by expeditiously removing, or disabling access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. If time permits, ThemeDe may, in its sole discretion, give an alleged infringer a reasonable opportunity to remove the infringing material itself. ThemeDe will also comply with the appropriate provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in the event its Designated Agent receives a counter notification.
