the copyright ownerÕs agent, or, pursuant to the law, the content provider,

has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result
of mistake or misidentification of the material; and
4.
Content providerÕs, memberÕs or userÕs name, address,
telephone number, and, if available, email address, and a statement that such
person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the

the Designated Agent, Company may send a copy of the counter-notice to the
original complaining party informing that person that Company may replace the
removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an
action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the
removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business
days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at CompanyÕs discretion.
