If End User believes that End User's User Content, or other content, that has been removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that End User has authorization from the actual copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to law, to submit, post and make use of such User Content, or other content, End User may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Agent: (i) End User's physical or electronic signature; (ii) identification of the User Content, or other content, that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the User Content, or other content appeared on www.gURL.com prior to the point at which such User Content, or other content, was removed or disabled; (iii) a statement that End User has a good faith belief that the User Content, or other content, was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the User Content, or other content; and (iv) End User's name, address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address, a statement that End User consents to the jurisdiction of the federal court in New York, New York, and a statement that End User will accept service of process from the party that provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Agent, www.gURL.com may send a copy of such counter-notice to the original complaining party informing such party that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten (10) business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at www.gURL.com's sole discretion.
