8. Claims of Copyright Infringement
   The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe in good faith that materials hosted by CATHOLIC ONLINE, LLC infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send CATHOLIC ONLINE, LLC's designated copyright agent a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it blocked by providing CATHOLIC ONLINE, LLC's Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail):
   ďż˝ A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
   ďż˝ Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at the Site;
   ďż˝ Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit CATHOLIC ONLINE, LLC to locate the material;
   ďż˝ Information reasonably sufficient to permit a CATHOLIC ONLINE, LLC representative to contact you, such as a name, address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address;
   ďż˝ A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
   ďż˝ A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
   Counter-Notice
   If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you (or your agent) to send CATHOLIC ONLINE, LLC's copyright agent a counter-notice with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(g)(3) for further detail):
   ďż˝ Your physical or electronic signature;
   ďż˝ Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
   ďż˝ 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 of the material to be removed or disabled;
   ďż˝ Your name, address, 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 of the United States, for any judicial district in which CATHOLIC ONLINE, LLC may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement or an agent of such person.
   If a counter-notice is received by our copyright agent, CATHOLIC ONLINE, LLC may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten (10) business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider or the User, the removed Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at CATHOLIC ONLINE, LLC's sole discretion.
