Send your counter notice to [email protected] with the subject line "DMCA Counter Notice".

Restoration of material

If we receive a valid counter notice, we may restore the material after a reasonable period consistent with applicable law (for U.S. claims, typically 10–14 business days) unless we receive notice that the original complainant has filed an action seeking a court order.

Repeat infringement

Where applicable, we may limit, suspend, or terminate access or supplier relationships for repeat infringements. We also reserve the right to remove any content at our discretion.
