Providing specific URLs is highly recommended.

Counter-Notification Process
If you believe your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. This counter-notification must be a written communication provided to our Designated Agent. It should also comply with DMCA requirements.
A valid counter-notification must include:

- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.

- Your name, address, and telephone number.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Petite Bakehouse may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the complaining party. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user, the removed material may be replaced, or access to it restored, within 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification.
