Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

To file a DMCA takedown notice with us, you must provide a written communication that includes substantially the following:

Filing a DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you posted on Chicken Salad was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us. To be effective, a counter-notification must be a written communication provided to our designated Copyright Agent that includes substantially the following:

  • Identification of the material: 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 (e.g., URL).
  • Statement under penalty of perjury: 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.
  • Your contact information: Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • Consent to jurisdiction: 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 Chicken Salad may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
  • Physical or electronic signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

Please send your DMCA counter-notification to the designated Copyright Agent via the contact method provided on our Contact Us page.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original DMCA takedown notice. If the original complainant does not file an action seeking a court order against the content provider within 10-14 business days of receiving the counter-notification, we may restore the removed material or cease disabling access to it.
