  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, including information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (such as the URL).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

Removal & Notice

Upon receipt of a valid takedown notice, we may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. We will attempt to notify the user who posted the material and provide information about the counter-notification process where applicable.

Counter-Notification

If you believe material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Your counter-notification must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. 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.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, 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 United States, any judicial district in which Pepperlot may be found), and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or an agent of such person.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the removed material after 10 business days unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the user.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Pepperlot will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers at our discretion.
