Identification of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate it (e.g. the URL where you saw it).
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
Your physical or electronic signature.

Send your notice to our designated agent at the address below. We will respond within 5 business days and remove or disable access to the material if the notice is valid.
