A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that all the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner (or, if you are not the copyright owner, then your statement must indicate that you are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed).
Your physical or electronic signature.
We will respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement in accordance with the DMCA. Our agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement for the Site can be reached at:

Email: [email protected]
