What a notice must include

• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed.
• The link (URL) to the material on Gorvado, so we can find it.
• Your name, postal address, phone number and email.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent or the law.

• Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is enough).

We remove or disable access to the material promptly and notify the user who posted it.

Counter-notice

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

Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyrights.

Knowingly false claims can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
