4.3 Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notification containing:

1. Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal;
2. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification;
3. Your name, address, and phone number;
4. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the courts in Calgary, Alberta;
5. Your physical or electronic signature.

4.4 Repeat Infringers

BowTel may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of Users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.

4.5 Canadian Copyright Act

This policy is designed to comply with the Copyright Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-42), including the notice-and-notice regime established under sections 41.25 and 41.26. Unlike the U.S. DMCA “takedown” model, Canadian law requires a notice-and-notice approach. BowTel will:

1. Forward any compliant notice of claimed infringement to the User who posted the content;
2. Retain records related to the notice for six months (or longer if court proceedings are commenced);
3. Take reasonable steps to inform the claimant of any counter-notification received.
