COUNTER-NOTICE
If you receive a notification that your Contribution or User-generated Content provided through the BSI Services, including on the Website has been removed due to a claim of copyright infringement in a DMCA Copyright Notice, it means that the Contribution’s content has been deleted from the BSI Services at the request of the content’s owner. If your account receives too many copyright complaints, you may lose the ability to post new content on the BSI Services, and your account may be disabled completely.
If you believe User-generated Content, comprising your Contribution or other materials created by you for which you own or hold the copyright, and were provided through the BSI Services, including content on the Website or transmitted through a mobile phone or portable computing device application was removed in error, you have the option to file a counter-notice (“Counter-Notice”) by following the steps below. Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notice, we will forward a copy to the person who filed the original DMCA Copyright Notice. If we do not receive notice within 10 business days that the submitter of the original claims in their DMCA Copyright Notice is seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of the content at issue, we will remove the claim and the DMCA Copyright Notice from your account’s record, and we may, but are not obligated to, replace the Contribution that was removed.
Note: There are legal and financial consequences for fraudulent and/or bad faith submissions. Before submitting a Counter-Notice, be sure that you are the actual rights holder of the removed content or that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed in error, and understand the repercussions of submitting a false claim.
