d. Include the following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the removed material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;” and
e. Sign the paper or affix an electronic or digital signature to the communication, for example, /John Smith/.

We will provide the person who submitted the notification of claimed infringement with a copy of Your counter-notification, including Your personal information, if Your notification complies substantially with the DCMA. By submitting a counter-notification, You consent to having Your personal information shared in this manner. The counter-notification will only be shared the original claimant and Our agents, successors and assigns (in Our reasonable discretion).
After receipt of the counter-notification, We generally will replace the removed material and restore access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14 business days later, unless Our designated agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the initial notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order regarding the removed material.
