2. The DMCA agent shall promptly acknowledge receipt of each infringement claim. If the claim fails to substantially comply in supplying information, the registered agent shall promptly attempt to contact the person making the notification or take other reasonable steps to assist in the receipt of notification that substantially complies.
   
   
3. The registered DMCA agent shall coordinate activities, keep records required to track repeat offenses, and assure proper adjudication of all incidents. The DMCA agent and those acting for and in conjunction with the DMCA agent shall:
   
   
   • Protect rights of intellectual property owners as defined by law, InfinityHost’s Authorized Use Policy, and accepted standards of academic behavior;
     
   • Protect rights and due process of those accused of infringement - particularly if Fair Use protection may apply.
     
     
4. Upon receipt of a complete claim of infringement, the registered agent shall direct prompt removal of material or removal of all local or wide-area network access to the material claimed to be infringing. This will be accomplished within 14 days of receipt of a valid notification. The Registered Agent shall take steps to ensure this take-down will impact essential InfinityHost’s activities as little as possible in effecting immediate compliance.
   
   
5. The Registered Agent shall arrange prompt restoration of the material, upon proper compliance with the terms of DMCA regarding “Put Back” procedures. Upon valid “Put Back” notification, the Registered agent shall direct prompt restoration within 14 days.

   1. A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber.
      [As an electronic signature, our agent accepts facsimile/fax and digitized image of signature attached to electronic mail.]
   2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
      [This information will normally be included in the notice you receive from the DMCA agent. You may want to expand on it or distinguish some materials from others. Please include a URL such as http://.../.../... or ftp://.../.../... identifying the material or representative material. Specify any IDs, passwords or other authorization required to access the material.]
   3. A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has 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.
      [If you have any permissions for subject materials, please identify them. If you believe materials to be quotable under Fair Use Doctrine, please state your case with reference to the four principles of Fair Use.]
   4. A statement that the affected party has a good faith belief that use of the material does not infringe the rights of the copyright owner, or its agent, or the law.
   5. The subscriber's name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber's address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.
      
      
6. InfinityHost’s registered DMCA agent or the agent’s delegate will take responsible steps to promptly notify the subscriber/user of the take-down. This notice will specify information required to make a counterclaim, and other information explaining applicable due process rights.
