Filing a DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a counter-notification containing the following information to our Copyright Agent:

  • Identification of removed material: Identify the material that Carers Support Payment has removed or disabled access to, and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  • Statement of good faith: A statement 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.
  • Consent to jurisdiction: Your name, address, and telephone number, and 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 your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Carers Support Payment may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
  • Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

If a counter-notification is received by the Copyright Agent, Carers Support Payment may send a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party informing that person that Carers Support Payment may replace the removed material or cease disabling 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 Carers Support Payment's sole discretion.
