II. Notice of Infringement (Takedown Notice)

This section details the formal legal requirements for a copyright holder (the "Claimant") to properly submit a complaint requesting the removal of infringing content. A valid notice must include the following:

• Physical or Electronic Signature: The signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest.
• Identification of the Copyrighted Work: A description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g., the specific headshot, reel footage, script, or musical track).
• Identification of the Infringing Material: A description and specific URL link on the CastVerse platform where the material claimed to be infringing is located. (General descriptions are insufficient).
• Contact Information: Claimant's name, address, telephone number, and email address.
• Good Faith Statement: A statement that the Claimant has a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• Accuracy Statement (Under Penalty of Perjury): A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the Claimant is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

III. Counter-Notice Procedure

This section outlines the process for a CastVerse user (the "Respondent") to dispute a takedown notice, asserting that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification. A valid counter-notice must include:

• Physical or Electronic Signature: The signature of the Respondent.
• Identification of Removed Material: A description of the material that has been removed and the specific URL where the material appeared before its removal.
• Good Faith Statement (Under Penalty of Perjury): A statement that the Respondent has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Consent to Jurisdiction: The Respondent's name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district where the address is located (or any district where CastVerse may be found if outside the U.S.).
• Acceptance of Process: A statement that the Respondent will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice.
