- your name, address, telephone number and email address;
- a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

If the affected user believes in good faith that the allegedly infringing works have been removed or blocked by mistake or misidentification, then that person may send a counter-notice to Gerber Life. The person should:
- list the material that was removed by Gerber Life, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed (for example, by providing a URL to the material);
- provide his or her name, address, telephone number and e-mail address (if available);
- state his or her consent to the jurisdiction of U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which he or she resides (or White Plains, New York, if the person's address is outside of the United States);
- state that he or she will accept service of process from the person who provided notification to Gerber Life of the alleged infringement or an agent of such person;
- state the following: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled"; and
- provide his or her physical or electronic signature (i.e., "/s/ [print name]").
Please send counter-notice to:
Gerber Life Insurance Company
Attn: Legal Department/DMCA Notices
1311 Mamaroneck Avenue

Upon Gerber Life's receipt of a counter-notice that satisfies the requirements of DMCA, Gerber Life will provide a copy of the counter-notice to the person who sent the original notification of claimed infringement and will follow the DMCA's procedures with respect to a received counter-notice. In all events, you expressly agree that Gerber Life will not be a party to any disputes or lawsuits regarding alleged copyright infringement. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims.
