Submitting a DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you posted on Chocolate Chip Banana Cake was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you have the right to submit a counter-notification. Your counter-notification must be a written communication provided to our designated Copyright Agent and include substantially the following:

Identification of the removed material: Identify the material that was removed or to which access was disabled and the location (e.g., URL) at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
A statement of good faith belief: A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
Your contact information: Your name, address, and telephone number.
A statement consenting to federal court jurisdiction: A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you are outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Chocolate Chip Banana Cake may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
Electronic or physical signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we may send a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party, informing them that we may replace the removed material or cease disabling access to 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-notification, at our sole discretion.
