SARDIN has discretion, however, to terminate the account of nay user after receipt of a single notification of claimed infringement or upon SARDIN’s own determination.

Your notification must include substantially the following: (1) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the work(s) that has/have been allegedly infringed, (2) identification of the works or materials being infringed or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of suck works, (3) identification of the specific material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, (4) information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, and (6) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. You should consult with your lawyer and/or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm your obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.
