Counter Notification Policy – Wintermemories.com

If you believe that content on Wintermemories.com was removed or disabled due to a DMCA notice in error—or that you have the legal right to use such material—you have the right to file a counter-notification under the DMCA.

This section outlines the process and requirements for submitting a valid counter-notice so that we can review your request and, where appropriate, restore access to the removed content.

What Is a Counter-Notification?

A counter-notification is a formal legal response submitted by a user whose content has been removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA takedown request.
If you believe the removal was a mistake or that you have authorization (from the copyright holder, through fair use, or by law), you may submit a counter-notice asking that the material be reinstated.

By filing a counter-notice, you acknowledge that you are initiating a legal process and affirming under penalty of perjury that the material was removed in error or due to misidentification.

How to Submit a Valid Counter-Notification

To file a valid counter-notice, please provide a written communication that includes the following:

  1. Your full name, physical address, phone number, and email address.
  2. A clear identification of the material that was removed and the specific URL where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury confirming your good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled due to a mistake or misidentification.
  4. A statement of consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district where you reside (or, if you live outside the United States, to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which the service provider may be found).
  5. A statement agreeing to accept service of process from the party who submitted the original DMCA notification or their authorized representative.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.
