In accordance with the DMCA, upon taking down the Content, Sipn Bourbon shall take reasonable steps to contact the owner of the removed Content so that a counter-notification (“Counter Notice”) may be filed. On receiving a valid Counter Notice, Sipn Bourbon will generally restore the Content in question, unless Sipn Bourbon receives notice from the original provider of the Notice of Infringement that a legal action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in the infringing activity.
THESE NOTICES OF INFRINGEMENT AND COUNTER NOTICES ARE REAL-WORLD LEGAL NOTICES PROVIDED OUTSIDE THE AGREEMENT.
