If your content was removed under the DMCA and you believe the removal was a mistake or that you are authorized to use the material, you may send a counter-notice containing:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• 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 disabled.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• 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 outside the U.S., for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or their agent.
