If your content on Sidecaster was removed or disabled in response to a DMCA notice and you believe it was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Do not file a counter-notice unless you have a good-faith belief that the material was wrongly removed — misrepresentations carry liability under § 512(f).
What a counter-notice must include
To be effective, your written counter-notice must include substantially the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location where it appeared before removal.
- 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, address, and telephone number.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdictionof the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or that person’s agent.
Where to send it
Email your counter-notice to our designated agent at dmca@peekgames.dev (Attn: DMCA Designated Agent).
What happens next
If your counter-notice is valid, we will promptly forward it to the party who filed the original notice. We may restore the removed material in 10 to 14 business days after we receive your counter-notice and forward it to that party, unless they first notify us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you from the allegedly infringing activity. A strike recorded against your account on the basis of a notice you successfully rebut is vacated.
