    2. Identify the material that you claim is 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 us to locate the material, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL of the link shown on the Site(s) where such material may be found.
    3. Provide your mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.

      • “I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed.”

Counter-Notification Process

If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification by providing our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information:

1.    Your physical or electronic signature
2.    Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal
3.    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
4.    Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
5.    A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if outside the United States, any judicial district in which Away may be found
6.    A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, Away will forward it to the original complainant and restore the material within 10-14 business days unless the complainant files a court action seeking a restraining order.

Repeat Infringer Policy
Away maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders who are repeat infringers. Away considers a user a repeat infringer if:

  1. The user has received two or more valid DMCA takedown notices within a 12-month period, or
  2. The user has been subject to multiple court orders for copyright infringement.

Away will terminate accounts of repeat infringers and take reasonable steps to prevent re-registration. Account holders may appeal termination decisions by providing evidence that the infringement claims were invalid or that they have taken corrective measures.

Warning: Filing false or bad faith DMCA notices may result in liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Only file notices if you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized.
