1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted 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 and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit bantam.host to locate the material.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit bantam.host to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.

1. Remove or disable access to the content that is alleged to be infringing.
2. Forward the written notification to the alleged infringer.
3. Take reasonable steps to promptly notify the alleged infringer that we have removed or disabled access to the content.

Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that your content that was removed or to which access was disabled is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a counter-notification containing the following information to our copyright agent:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled.
3. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content.

If a counter-notification is received by our copyright agent, bantam.host may send a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 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-notification, at bantam.host's sole discretion.
