Respondent may then send to the Designated Copyright Agent a proper counter-notification, in which case Affiliate Summit may re-post or re-enable access to the allegedly infringing material between 10 and 14 days after receipt of the counter-notification, unless Complainant first notifies Affiliate Summit that Complainant has filed suit to restrain Respondent from engaging in the alleged infringement. Mark the counter-notification "Attn: Response to Complaint" on the document and on the envelope, and send to the address above. To ensure receipt, Affiliate Summit strongly recommends that Respondent send the counter-notification by overnight mail.
A proper counter-notification MUST have at least the following information, or it may be IGNORED:
(i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of Respondent;
(ii) Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appears before it was removed or access to it was disabled;

(iv) Respondent's name, address and telephone number, and a statement that Respondent consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court in its district or, if Respondent's address is outside the United States, Respondent consents to any jurisdiction where Affiliate Summit may be found, and that Respondent will accept service if process originates from Complainant or Complainant's agent.
