- Identification in sufficient detail of the material being infringed, including the relevant copyright registration number;
- Identification of the content that is claimed to be infringing the identified intellectual property right. Include information regarding the location of the infringing content with sufficient detail so that Lasting Legacy is capable of finding and verifying its existence;

B. Removal of Allegedly Infringing Material

If Lasting Legacy removes or disables access in response to such a notice, Lasting Legacy will make a good-faith attempt to contact the allegedly infringing user so that the user may submit a counter notification. Whether to reinstate the objected to content is solely within the discretion of Lasting Legacy.
C. Procedure to Submit a Copyright Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent
If you materially misrepresent that your User Content is not infringing the intellectual property identified in the Infringement Notification, you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees). Therefore, if you are not sure whether or not your User Content infringes the identified intellectual property, please contact an attorney before contacting Lasting Legacy.
If a Website user believes that his or her User Content that was removed or to which access was disabled is not infringing a third party’s intellectual property right, you must send a counter-notice, pursuant to §512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. Please do not re-post your User Content at issue yourself. The counter-notice must contain the following information to the Designated Agent listed below.
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of your User Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which your User Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the you have a good faith belief that your User Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of such User Content;
- Your name, address, telephone number, and, if available, e-mail address and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the complaining user’s address is located, or if your address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Lasting Legacy is located, and that you will accept service of process from the complaining user who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.
If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, Lasting Legacy may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that Lasting Legacy may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten (10) business days. Unless the intellectual property owner files an action seeking a court order against the allegedly infringing Website user, the removed content may be replaced or access to it restored in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days after receipt of the counter-notice, at Lasting Legacy’s discretion.
