   What happens next

   We remove or hide the content promptly and let the person who uploaded it know.

3. 03

   Counter-notice

   If your content was removed by mistake, you can send a counter-notice to the same agent with your signature; the content removed and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and phone, consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, outside the U.S., any district where Élevée may be found) and to accept service from the person who sent the notice. We may restore the content in 10 to 14 business days unless that person tells us they have filed a court action.

   Élevée may suspend or close the accounts of people who repeatedly upload content that infringes others' rights.

   Good faith

   Knowingly false notices or counter-notices can create legal liability. If you are unsure whether a use is permitted, consider asking a lawyer first.
