• 5. Good Faith Statement: A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• 6. Penalty of Perjury Statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

3. Takedown & Review Procedure

Upon receipt of a formal DMCA notice containing all six required elements, Velvet will:

• Promptly investigate the complaint and verify the reported content location.
• Expeditiously remove or disable public access to the allegedly infringing material.
• Take reasonable steps to notify the user or author who posted the disputed material, providing a copy of the takedown notice and instructions on filing a counter-notification.

4. Counter-Notification Procedure (17 U.S.C. §512(g))

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written Counter-Notification to our Designated Agent at sure@readinnook.com.

A valid counter-notification must contain the following statutory components:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location where it appeared before it was removed.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your legal name, physical address, telephone number, and email address, along with a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or the Republic of Indonesia if outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the party who submitted the original DMCA notice.

5. Restoration of Material

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, Velvet will promptly send a copy to the original complaining party, informing them that Velvet will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it within ten to fourteen (10–14) business days.

Velvet will restore access to the material unless the original complaining party provides notice that they have filed a court action seeking an injunction against the infringing activity prior to the expiration of that period.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy (17 U.S.C. §512(i))

Velvet strictly enforces a repeat infringer policy in compliance with 17 U.S.C. §512(i).

In appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, Velvet will terminate user accounts, author agreements, and access privileges of individuals who are determined to have repeatedly infringed copyright works or who are the subject of repeated valid DMCA notices.
