- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled
- A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has 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
- The subscriber’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification or an agent of such person
Upon receipt of a DMCA Counter-Claim, RS Fiber will provide the complaining party with a copy of the DMCA Counter-Claim. When RS Fiber receives a Counter-Claim that meets the requirements of the DMCA, RS Fiber will process the Counter-Claim in accordance with the requirements of the DMCA.
