Counter-Notice Procedure

If you believe that your content was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you can send us a counter-notice. For the counter-notice to be effective, it must be a written communication provided to our DMCA Agent that includes substantially the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.

  • 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 access to it was disabled.

  • 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 to be removed or disabled.

  • Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.

Following the receipt of a counter-notice that complies with the DMCA, Minnesota PDF Forms will promptly provide the complainant with a copy of the counter-notice, and inform that person that we will restore the removed content or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. Unless our DMCA Agent receives notice from the original complainant that an action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our website, we will restore the content or cease disabling access to it within 10 to 14 business days following receipt of the counter-notice.

Minnesota PDF Forms takes the protection of copyrights seriously. By following the structured procedures of the DMCA, we uphold the balance between protecting copyright owners and accommodating users’ rights. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in these matters.
