2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;

5. A statement 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
6. A statement 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.

Upon receipt of such notification, Sigma shall promptly investigate the matter, and, if appropriate, remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. After Sigma removes or disables access to such material, Sigma will notify the individual who posted the material of its action. The individual may then provide the Sigma designated agent proper "counter-notification" stating his or her authority to post the allegedly infringing material, which Sigma will forward to the alleged copyright owner.

An effective counter-notification must be sent via surface mail, courier, or fax to the Sigma agent designated above. The counter-notification must be in writing and include the following information:

1. The individual's name, address, and telephone number;
2. The individual's physical signature;
3. Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location where the material was before its removal or disablement;
4. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the individual has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; and
5. A statement that the individual consents to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court in his or her district, or if the individual resides in a foreign country, that he or she consents to jurisdiction in any United States District Court where Sigma is subject to jurisdiction, and that the individual will accept service if process originates from the alleged copyright owner who provided Sigma with notification, or from an agent of such a person.

Upon receipt of effective counter-notification, Sigma will inform the alleged copyright owner that Sigma will re-post the removed material or cease disabling access to it in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days unless the alleged copyright owner sends a second notification to the Sigma agent designated above, stating that it has filed suit against the alleged infringer.
