Filing a counter-notice

If your photo was disabled by a DMCA takedown notice and you believe it was removed in error or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. Counter-notices may only be filed by the user who uploaded the disabled photo.

How to file. Sign in to the Glayrd account that uploaded the disabled photo, open the DMCA notice from the takedown email we sent you (it links to your account's notice detail page), and complete the counter-notice form there. The form will ask for your full legal name, address, phone number, email, identification of the disabled content, a statement under penalty of perjury that the content was removed by mistake or misidentification, and consent to jurisdiction.

After you submit. Glayrd will forward your counter-notice to the original claimant within 1 business day. If the claimant does not obtain a court order within 10 to 14 business days, the disabled content will be restored. If a court order is received within that window, the content remains disabled.

Important. Submitting a counter-notice that contains a material misrepresentation may expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Glayrd is not a party to your claim and provides no legal advice on the merits of the underlying dispute.
