- Counter-Notification: If you reside outside of the United States, you should be aware that filing a counter-notification to contest a claim may result in legal proceedings between you and the complaining party to determine ownership of the material in question.

Please also note that we operate a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the access privileges of Users who make a false or bad faith allegation of infringement or who file a false or bad faith counter-notification in response to a notice of infringement. Therefore, if you are unsure whether content you posted on the Distributor Sites is infringing or are unsure whether to file a counter-notification using these procedures, we strongly recommend that you first contact an attorney familiar with the laws of Luxembourg, the United States, and the State of New York (as applicable).
