1A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

2Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list).

3Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access disabled, including the exact URL(s) on desi.guide.

4Information reasonably sufficient to permit Desi Guide to contact you, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.

Counter-Notification Procedure

If your listing or content was removed as a result of a DMCA notice and you believe this was done in error or due to misidentification, you may submit a written Counter-Notification to our Designated Agent.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party. Unless the copyright owner files a court action seeking an injunction within 10 to 14 business days, we will restore the removed material.
