This information allows us to communicate regarding the claim.

• Relevant URLs
• Other documentation demonstrating ownership or authority

A formal registration may not always be required to submit a notice, but supporting documentation may help us evaluate the claim.

• The copyright owner
• Your relationship to the owner
• The basis of your authority to submit the notice

We may request documentation confirming that authority where reasonably necessary.

13. Review of Copyright Notices

When we receive a sufficiently complete copyright infringement notice, we may review:

• The identified copyrighted work
• The allegedly infringing material
• Ownership information
• URLs or locations provided
• Licensing information
• Applicable legal exceptions

• Applicable law

Submitting a notice does not automatically establish copyright infringement.

14. Action Following a Valid Notice

Where appropriate based on the information available, Pleatlab may:

• Remove the identified material
• Disable access to the material
• Temporarily restrict the content
• Request additional information
• Contact the content provider
• Contact the claimant
• Correct the content
• Decline to remove material where the complaint is insufficient or unsupported

The action taken will depend on the circumstances and applicable law.

15. Incomplete Notices

A copyright complaint may be delayed or may not be actionable if it does not contain sufficient information.

Examples include:

• No identification of the copyrighted work
• No location of the allegedly infringing material
• Missing claimant contact information
• Missing required statements
• Missing signature
• Broken or inaccessible URLs
• Insufficient information to identify the material

We may request additional information before taking action.

16. Counter Notification

If material you provided was removed or disabled because of a copyright complaint and you believe the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter notification where applicable.

Counter notifications should be sent to:

17. Required Counter-Notification Information

A counter notification should include information required by applicable law, which may include:

18. Good-Faith Counter-Notification Statement

A counter notification should state, where applicable and 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.

Do not submit a counter notification unless you genuinely believe the removal was erroneous.

19. Restoration of Material

Where a legally sufficient counter notification is received, the original claimant may be notified where appropriate.

Material may be restored where legally permitted unless the copyright claimant provides notice of appropriate legal action within the applicable statutory period.

Any restoration decision will depend on applicable law and the circumstances of the dispute.

20. False or Misleading Copyright Notices

Do not knowingly submit a false copyright infringement notice.

A person who knowingly materially misrepresents that content is infringing may be responsible for damages, costs, attorney fees, or other consequences available under applicable law.

21. False or Misleading Counter Notifications

Similarly, do not knowingly submit a false counter notification.

A materially false statement concerning ownership, authorization, mistake, or misidentification may carry legal consequences.

The copyright reporting process should be used only for genuine copyright disputes.

It should not be used to:

• Harass another party
• Remove lawful competing products
• Suppress criticism

• Fair use determinations

Such disputes may require resolution between the parties or through appropriate legal proceedings.

Depending on the circumstances, actions may include:
