  • your full name, address and telephone number
  • your e-mail address
  • identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you believe is being infringed
  • identification of the infringing material and information sufficient for Cyndi's List to locate the material
  • your statement of good faith belief that (a) the material infringes your copyright(s), (b) the information provided in the notice is accurate, and (c) under penalty of perjury, you are authorized to act for the copyright owner
  • your physical or electronic signature

Direct such notice to Cyndi's List designated agent for receiving copyright infringement notices:

Upon receipt of notice complying with the above requirements, Cyndi's List will act to remove infringing materials and, if applicable, send notice to the user that posted such materials on the website. If Cyndi's List removes materials posted by you as a user due to alleged copyright infringement, you may seek to have the materials reinstated by notifying Cyndi's List's designated agent in writing and including the following information

  • your full name, address, and telephone number
  • your e-mail address
  • identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, including its location before it was removed or disabled
  • your 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
  • your statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which your address is located or, if you reside outside of the United States, for Washington State (where the Cyndi's List may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notice of copyright infringement or from such person's agent
  • your physical or electronic signature

Upon receipt of a notice meeting the above requirements, Cyndi's List will send a copy of the notice to the copyright owner who initially claimed copyright infringement. Within 10 to 14 days following receipt of the notice, Cyndi's List will replace or enable access to the removed material unless Cyndi's List receives notice from the copyright owner who submitted the first notification that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user that posted the materials from engaging in infringing activity. Please note that parties who misrepresent that materials are infringing or were removed by mistake or misidentification are subject to substantial civil liability to Cyndi's List and/or the copyright owner or website user.
