25. Notice of Copyright Infringement. AURA respects the intellectual property rights of others and requests that you do the same. Anyone who believes that his, her or its work has been reproduced on the Site in a way that constitutes copyright infringement may provide a notice to AURA's legal department for the Site containing the following:
an electronic or physical signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest;
identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit AURA to locate the material;
the address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
a representation that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
a representation that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Copyright infringement claims and notices (but not other notices) should be sent to the attention of legal department, by any of the following means:
If AURA receives proper notification of infringement pursuant to the procedure set forth above, it will remove or disable access to the challenged material and will take reasonable steps to notify the party who originally posted it (the "posting party") that the material has been removed. The posting party may then submit a counter-notification by sending an e-mail message to AURA's legal department explaining why the posting party believes that material is not infringing. To be effective, the counter notification should include:
a physical or electronic signature of the posting party;
identification of the material that has been removed and the location where the material was located before it was removed;
a statement under penalty of perjury that the posting party has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
the posting party's contact information, such as the address, telephone number and email address; and
a statement that the posting party will consent to jurisdiction of the federal court for the district in which that address is located (or, if that address is in a foreign country, in the federal court for the Northern District of California), and that the posting party will accept service of process from the person who provided the notification described above or that person's agent.
Upon receipt of a counter-notification complying with these requirements, AURA will promptly provide the person who submitted the original notification with a copy of the counter-notification and will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days unless that person provides to the AURA's legal department a notification that the person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity related to the material posted to the Site.
