2. We reserve the right to remove or disable access to any content on our Services claimed to be infringing, at any time at our sole discretion, without notice or liability. In appropriate circumstances, we will also terminate Members who are repeat infringers.
3. If you believe that content on our Services has been used in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our Copyright Agent with a written notice containing all of the following information ("DMCA Notice"):

4. If you are the provider of content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) and you believe that such content is not infringing, or that the use of such content is authorized by the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or the law, you may provide our Copyright Agent with a written counter-notice containing all of the following information ("Counter-Notice"):
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the content that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location at which such content appeared on our Services before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
- a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the content; and
- your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which ShareGallery may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the notice of claimed infringement or an agent of such person.
