Your notice must be in writing and must include the following:

a description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed (or if you believe multiple copyrighted works have been infringed, a representative list);
a description of the material you believe is infringing or the subject of infringing activity, together with enough information to permit us to locate the material;
enough information to permit us to contact you, such as, your name, address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address;
a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the allegedly infringing use of the material was not authorized by the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed (the “copyright owner”), an agent for the copyright owner, or by law;
a statement that all the information you have provided is accurate; and
a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
