What Happens After We Receive a Notice?

When we receive a sufficiently complete infringement notice, we may review the identified material and take action we consider appropriate under applicable law and our policies.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • Requesting additional information
  • Temporarily restricting access to disputed content
  • Removing allegedly infringing material
  • Contacting the relevant content provider or supplier
  • Cancelling or restricting affected listings
  • Taking other appropriate action

Submitting a notice does not automatically establish that infringement has occurred.

We may evaluate the information provided before determining what action is appropriate.

Counter-Notification

If material you provided was removed or disabled because of a copyright complaint and you believe the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification, you may be entitled to submit a counter-notification under applicable law.

A valid DMCA counter-notification generally includes:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number.
  5. The statements regarding jurisdiction and acceptance of service of process required by applicable DMCA provisions.

Because counter-notifications have legal consequences, you may wish to seek independent legal advice before submitting one.

Restoration of Removed Material

When a valid counter-notification is received, applicable law may permit or require restoration of the disputed material after the relevant statutory period unless the original complainant informs us that appropriate legal action has been filed.

We will handle valid notices and counter-notices according to applicable legal requirements.
