- Identification of the copyrighted work being infringed

What Happens After We Receive a Valid Notice
Upon receipt of a valid copyright infringement notice, we reserve the right to:
- Remove or disable access to the infringing material
- Notify the content provider that the material has been removed or disabled
- Terminate the content provider’s access to our services if they are a repeat offender
How to File a Counter-Notice
If you are a content provider and believe the material that was removed is not infringing, or that you have the right to use it, you may send a counter-notice to our Designated Agent that includes:
- Your physical or electronic signature
- Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal
- A statement that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification
- Your name, address, phone number, and email address, along with a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the district where you are located, or any judicial district where Transit Tee operates if you are outside the United States, and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original infringement notice
If a valid counter-notice is received, we may send a copy to the original complaining party. Unless the copyright owner files a court action against the content provider, the removed material may be restored within 10 to 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice, at our discretion.
