Upon receipt of a notice that substantially complies with the DMCA, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material and take reasonable steps to promptly notify the user who submitted it. We may contact the sender to obtain missing information.

We may share the notice with the affected contributor as part of handling the complaint.

Please include substantially the following information:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location where it appeared before removal or disabling.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located. If your address is outside the United States, state that you consent to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which the service provider may be found.

Suggested email subject: DMCA counter-notice — American Girl Wiki

We will promptly forward a copy of a compliant counter-notice, including its contact information, to the person who submitted the original notice and inform that person that we will restore the material in 10 business days.

Under the DMCA counter-notice process, material will be restored no earlier than 10 and no later than 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice, unless our designated agent first receives notice that the original complainant has filed a court action seeking to restrain the contributor from infringing activity relating to the material.

Repeat infringement

• Your authority to act on the owner's behalf, if applicable.
• Registration details and jurisdiction, if applicable.
