i.) your name, address, telephone number and email address.
ii.) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the applicable Services are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on the applicable Services.
iii.) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit MEDQOR to locate the material.
iv.) A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted work is not authorized by the copyright owner, its owner or the law.
v.) A statement by you that the information in your notice is accurate and, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf. (For example, “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, of the copyright(s) that is allegedly infringed by the aforementioned content.”).
vi.) Your electronic or physical signature or the signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest.
