If Single Christianity LLC user believes that the material that was removed or to which access was disabled is either not infringing, or the user believes that it has the right to post and use such material from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, the user must send a counter-notice containing the following information to the contact listed below:

4. User’s name, address, telephone number, and, if available, e-mail address and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the user’s address is located, or if the user’s address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Single Christianity LLC 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, Single Christianity LLC may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that Single Christianity LLC may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 30 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 30 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Single Christianity LLC’s discretion.
