Your physical or electronic signature.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward a copy to the original complaining party. We will inform them that we may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10-14 business days unless the original complaining party files an action seeking a court order against the content provider.

Please be aware that making false claims in an infringement notice or counter-notification may lead to legal consequences. You may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under applicable law.
