Counter-Notification
If Konfeeg receives a notice that our network, system(s), and/or server space assigned to your account contain material that is claimed to be infringing upon the exclusive copyright of the sender of that notice, then pursuant to Section 512 of the United States Copyright Revision Act, as enacted through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Konfeeg is required to respond expeditiously to remove the material that is claimed to be infringing.
Konfeeg requests that, within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving a notice from Konfeeg of alleged copyright infringement, you immediately remove the allegedly infringing material and notify Konfeeg that you have done so; otherwise, Konfeeg will disable access to the applicable material or disable access to your account. If you believe in good faith, however, that the allegedly infringing material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled was done so by mistake or misidentification, you may make a counter-notification pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the United States Copyright Revision Act, as enacted through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If and when we receive such a counter-notification, we will reinstate the material in question.
To file a counter-notification with us, you must provide a written communication to Konfeeg by mail that sets forth the items specified below. Please note that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is not infringing the copyrights of others. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.
To expedite our ability to process your counter-notification, please use the following format (including section numbers):
- Identify the specific URLs and material that Konfeeg has removed and/or the specific account(s) to which Konfeeg has disabled access.
- Provide your name, address, telephone number, email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania if your address is outside of the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) of Section 512 or an agent of such person.
- Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that all of the content identified above was removed or disabled, as applicable, as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled."
- Sign the paper.
