Filing a Counter Notice

If you believe that removal of the content is the result of a mistake (for example, that you have authorization) or misidentification, you may provide Artsider with a counter notice in writing to the attention of the Designated Agent at dmca@artsider.com. Such counter notice must provide the following information:

  1. an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the relevant matter;
  2. a description of the content which we have removed, including the URL on which the content was located on the Artsider site;
  3. your address, telephone number, and email address;
  4. a statement by you that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court, Santa Clara County, California, United States and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification described above or an agent of such person;
  5. a statement by you that, under penalty of perjury, 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;

Before providing such notice, you should be aware that we are obliged to inform the complainant that you have provided that notice (and provide a copy of your counter-notice to them) and that their next step would be to take court action against you in the United States. If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Artsider may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed Content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Artsider user, the removed Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Artsider's discretion.
