(a) It is the policy of THE NORAH FOUNDATION to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright and trademark infringement. Regardless of whether THE NORAH FOUNDATION would be found to be liable for such copyright or trademark infringement under United States law or the law of the applicable country, we may respond to allegations of such infringement by removing or disabling access to content that is claimed to be infringing or by terminating particular users’ ability to access the Site and the Services. In the event we terminate access to the Site and/or Services, we will make a good-faith effort to contact the site or content owners or administrators in order to permit them to make a counter-notification. Please note that, in the event you materially misrepresent that a particular material or activity is infringing your copyright or trademark, you will be liable for all damages incurred (including costs and attorneys’ fees) as a result of such material misrepresentation. Accordingly, we suggest that you contact an attorney before notifying THE NORAH FOUNDATION of infringement if you are not certain whether particular content is infringing your copyright or trademark.

iii. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the content identified in your notice in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright or trademark owner, its agent, or the law;
iv. A statement by you that you swear and attest, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright/trademark owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
v. Your signature (in either physical or electronic format), along with your name, address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address.
(c) Counter-Notice. While it is our policy to respond to clear notices of trademark and copyright infringement, if you believe that your content should not have been removed for alleged copyright or trademark infringement, you may send us a written counter-notice. Such counter-notice must include the following information:
i. An identification of the work that was removed or disabled, and the location (such as a URL) of the website on which it would have been found prior to its removal;
ii. A statement by you that you swear and attest, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the search result and/or content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification. For trademark disputes only: information reasonably sufficient to explain why you believe you are not infringing the trademarked work;
iii. A statement that you consent either to the jurisdiction of (a) the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located if you live in the United States or (b) any judicial district in which THE NORAH FOUNDATION is located if you live outside the United States. Please also include a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original infringement notice to THE NORAH FOUNDATION, or an agent of such person; and
iv. Your signature (in either electronic or physical form), along with your name, address, telephone number and, if available, email address.
