  2. The user responsible for the content will be notified of the action taken.
  3. Users who repeatedly violate intellectual property laws will have their content removed and their accounts may be permanently terminated.

If you believe your content was mistakenly removed or that you have the right to use it, you may submit a counter-notice with the following information:

  1. A description of the removed content and where it was located on Blaxteeco before removal.
  2. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed in error.

  4. A declaration consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court in your district or, if outside the U.S., the jurisdiction where Blaxteeco is based.

If a valid counter-notice is received, Blaxteeco may forward it to the original complainant. Unless legal action is taken, the removed content may be restored within 10 to 14 business days.
