The Notice must include the following information: (i) identification of the copyrighted work that is claimed to have been infringed; (ii) a description of where on the Sites the allegedly infringing material is located; (iii) information, if possible, sufficient to permit us to notify the individual who posted the allegedly infringing material; (iv) Claimant's address, telephone number, and email address; (v) a statement by Claimant that he or she has a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (vi) a statement by Claimant, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that Claimant is the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf; and (vii) the electronic or physical signature of the Claimant. The DMCA permits anyone who believes in good faith that a Notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly made against them to send our Agent a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA (see www.loc.gov/copyright). Notices and counter-notices should be sent to our Agent at: Medifast, Inc.
