What happens next
Once we receive a complete and valid notice, we will review it and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and notify the user who posted it. Repeated infringement may result in suspension or termination of the responsible account.
Counter-notification
If you believe your content was removed in error or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to [email protected]. Please note that submitting a false counter-notification, or a false takedown request, may expose you to liability.
