2. Statement under penalty of perjury: A statement that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
3. Consent to jurisdiction: A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or the Northern District of California if your address is outside of the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
4. Signature and Contact Info: Your physical or electronic signature, your name, address, and telephone number.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Vera may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing them that Vera may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Vera's sole discretion.
