Once Proper Infringement Notification is Received by the Designated Agent

It is Outdoorcommand.com’s policy: 

1. to remove or disable access to the infringing material;
2. to notify the content provider, member or user that it has removed or disabled access to the material; and
3. that repeat offenders will have the infringing material removed from the system and that Company will terminate such content provider’s, member’s, or user’s access to the Services. 

Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent

If the content provider or user believes that the material that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or the content provider or user believes that it has the right to post and use the disputed material from the copyright owner, then the copyright owner’s agent, the content provider, or user (“the Countering Party”) must send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent:

• A physical or electronic signature of the Countering Party;
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
• A statement that the Countering Party has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material; and 
• The Countering Party’s name, address, telephone number, and , if available, email address, and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the Countering Party’s address is located, or, if the Countering Party is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Company is located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement. 

If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, Company may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that Company may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Company’s discretion.
