   "The information in this notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."

6. Your physical or electronic signature

Send your DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent via email. Please use the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice" and include all required information listed above.

If you believe your content was removed in error or was misidentified, you may submit a counter-notice. A valid counter-notice must contain:

In accordance with the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users or account holders who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.
